This month (February 2023) Brindolyn and Karson fell in love with a couple of romance novels. Brindolyn read "Radha and Jai's Recipe for Romance" by Nisha Sharma, and Karson read "Me Before You" by Jojo Moyes.

Trigger warning for "Me Before You": This book references suicide, self-harm and sexual assault.
