Hello Stranger by Katherine Center

It's a dog he's talking about, 20 bucks.
Me sitting here knowing things. Connecting the dots.
Ok so Parker is terrifying, and I know people like her exist, but also...do they? Like she gives me mom from 2015 Cinderella vibes.
We stan Joe. Sweetie.
It's fluff and I love it.

What You Wish For by Katherine Center

She's a school librarian. Like..... Victory screech.
Ok but the trope where one character is drunk/high on pain killer is quite possibly one of my favorite tropes.
HEY LOOK THAT'S JAKE AND HELEN FROM INTRODUCTION TO HAPPINESS AND DUNCAN IS HELEN'S BROTHER.....  I'm fine.
Were parts of the book cringey. Yes.
Was the twist obvious. Yes.
Do I care...no.

Things You Save in a Fire by Katherine Center

Summary: "Cassie Hanwell was born to handle emergencies. As one of the only female firefighters in her Texas firehouse, she's seen her fair share of them, and she's a total pro at managing other people's tragedies. But when her estranged and ailing mother asks her to give up her whole life and move to Boston, Cassie suddenly has an emergency of her own." 

I liked it! Not quite as good as The Bodyguard, but a quick, fun (ish) read.

Happiness for Beginners by Katherine Center

....Just...the first sentence... like....that hit me.
Helen: "where's all the doubt and self-hatred?"
Me: on the inside and in their phone notes app. 
Guide: "man up"
Me: ...yeah because men are so goood at handling pain...
"The first time I saw Pickle, I thought she was a possum..." honestly....that's the perfect reason to adopt her.
...I can't believe Katherine had the audacity to make me cry...and attack me on a personal level.
That is capital T trauma
also I loved it. It's the fluff content for me. Jake's adorable. He's a puppy. Protect.

The Bodyguard by Katherine Center

Summary: "Hannah Brooks is an Executive Protection Agent (aka "bodyguard"), and she just got hired to protect superstar actor Jack Stapleton from his stalker. When Jack's mom gets sick, he comes home to the family's Texas ranch to help out. Only one catch: He doesn't want his family to know about his stalker. Or the bodyguard thing. So Hannah finds herself pretending to be Jack's girlfriend as a cover. But the more time she spends with Jack, the more real it all starts to seem. And there lies the heartbreak. Because it's very easy for Hannah to protect Jack. But protecting her own, long-neglected heart? That's the hardest thing she's ever done."
