Books I’ve Read In 2022 - The Falling In Love Montage by Ciara Smyth
Seventeen-year-old cynic Saoirse Clarke isn’t looking for a relationship. But when she meets mischievous Ruby, that rule goes right out the window. Sort of.
Because Ruby has a loophole in mind: a summer of all the best cliché movie montage dates, with a definite ending come fall—no broken hearts, no messy breakup. It would be the perfect plan, if they weren’t forgetting one thing about the Falling in Love Montage: when it’s over, the characters have fallen in love…for real.
“Like Twilight, if you took out all the mormonism and replaced it with homosexuality!”
If you’re looking for a book with—
queer, adult, POC protagonists
werewolves and vampires who kiss (as all werewolves and vampires should)
prophetic dreams, mortal peril, mysterious magic, and ANGST
complex, realistic characters who tell startlingly bad jokes
—then you should check out Both Sides of The Moon!
It’s a queer romantic fantasy novel about Fae, a vampire amnesiac, and Roa, the werewolf who finds him passed out out on his family’s ranch. The two are immediately drawn to each other—but Roa’s inexperience with romance leaves him awkward and stiff, and Fae’s guilt over keeping his one remaining memory a secret from the clan of wolves prevents him from getting too close. After months of living and working together, they finally breach the gap between them—only for a monster from Fae’s dark past to reappear, threatening to tear them apart.
Reviewers have described it as “layered and thoughtful, angsty and sweet” — “gorgeously written” and “poetic” — a “stunning world” whose characters will “captivate your whole heart” — and “easily one of the best books I’ve read in a long while!”
