2. The Season

The-Season

Sporty girl completely unprepared for pageant enters a cutthroat competition? Yes, please. This retelling of Pride and Prejudice shares the witty pageant shenanigans we love in Dumplin’ with a good dose of comedy (and did we mention modern Mr. Darcy??). 

 

3. Always Never Yours

Always-Never-Yours-COVER

Not everyone intends to stumble into the public eye, least of all Megan Harper. Always Never Yours is the perfect read for anyone who loved watching Willowdean learn to take control of the limelight and hold onto it.
