  | |  | | It's officially spring—and honestly, I (along with just about everyone I know) could cry with joy. This winter in NYC felt especially brutal, and morale has been… low, to say the least. Hopefully it's been a little gentler wherever you are.
In honor of brighter, softer days ahead, I'm spotlighting three sweet, low-stakes series today. I didn't set out to pick all UK–based books, but apparently they've cornered the market on comfort.
And if you're craving something equally feel-good on the page, don't miss Lucy Score's latest rom-com, set right here in the U.S.!
Yours,
