Before long, they’re the found family she didn’t know she needed and her job at their local place, Pancake Billy’s House of Pancakes, offers her stability she desperately needed. Its there that she meets Niko, a psychic, his brilliant girlfriend, Myla, and their insightful and sensitive roommate Wes. Twenty-three and aimless, she flees to finish out college in NYC in the hopes of never thinking about the case again. Her mother moved them around so the two never settled anywhere that August felt like home. August was raised on a steady diet of self-defense, lock picking and investigative tactics. Her entire life has been mostly centered around a cold case-before she was born, her mother’s brother disappeared without a trace. She doesn’t expect to find a home there, but she hopes she finds a reason to stay. Her bestselling debut, Red, White and Royal Blueset the bar pretty high in terms of contemporary romances and I think she managed to raise it higher with her sophomore novel.įor those of you who aren’t aware of the most buzz-worthy book this season, a little summary: August Landry is a prickly hedgehog of a young woman, who moves to the city hoping to escape from a loneliness she’s felt her whole life. But I think that’s a Casey McQuiston specialty. Its also one of the most romantic books I’ve read.
