The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner- March 2nd, 2021 "A female apothecary secretly dispenses poisons to liberate women from the men who have wronged them—setting three lives across centuries on a dangerous collision course" I heard this one back in December on the Books and The City podcast and immediately added it to my March TBR. The concept is one I haven't heard before and I have high hopes for this story! The Castle School (For Troubled Girls) by Alyssa Sheinmel- March 2nd 2021 " When Moira Dreyfuss's parents announce that they're sending her to an all-girls boarding school deep in the Maine woods, Moira isn't fooled. She knows her parents are punishing her; she's been too much trouble since her best friend, Nathan, died―and for a while before that. At the Castle School, isolated from the rest of the world, Moira will be expected to pour her heart out to the odd headmaster, Dr. Prince. But she isn't interested in getting over Nathan's death or befriending her fellow students." I am not sure if this is a thriller or a literary fiction novel that paints a realistic picture of a teen girl dealing with grief. Regardless, this book is on my March anticipated list due to the setting and portrayal of the main character. I saw a spoiler free review that described this book as followed "The title does really give away a little bit of fairy tale ambience whereby the school is structured like a castle hence the glorious description of turrets and being stranded in the middle of the woods say it all. " I can't wait to read this all the more with the fairy tale vibes. The Rose Code by Kate Quinn- March 9th, 2021 " The New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Huntress and The Alice Network returns with another heart-stopping World War II story of three female code breakers at Bletchley Park and the spy they must root out after the war is over." March 9th I really enjoyed Kate Quinn's previous historical fiction books which usually give me everything I am looking for in a historical fiction novel including the high and low emotions weaved together to create a moving story. The Alice Network is one of the stories that propelled my love of historical fiction and desire to read about events and people in history I was unfamiliar with. Perfect On Paper by Sophie Gonzales- March 9th 2021 "In Sophie Gonzales' Perfect on Paper, Leah on the Offbeat meets To All the Boys I've Loved Before: a bisexual girl who gives anonymous love advice to her classmates is hired by the hot guy to help him get his ex back" Having just read the last installment of To All The Boys I Loved Before, I was hooked as soon as this came up on my radar. It has LBGTQ+ representation with a fun premise wrapped up into a cute contemporary. Seems like the perfect spring read celebrating diversity with a fresh concept. Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert- March 9th, 2021 "In Act Your Age, Eve Brown the flightiest Brown sister crashes into the life of an uptight B&B owner and has him falling hard—literally." I screamed when I got accepted for this on Netgalley so spoiler, I have already read this one. This book follows the third Brown sister named Eve and her love interest, Jacob. This was my favorite novel in the series and I really enjoy the autism rep and overall characters of Eve and Jacob!
