As always, thanks for the newsletter. I would not agree that Ali's latest novel is 10/10, for me it is more like 7.5/10. I liked the atmosphere of Sicily and the Mediterranean. Of course, this is always a huge plus for me (which is why I love your book). But the "problem" itself was inflated in vain, and they spent 3 years suffering and anguish! My husband and I have an age difference of 12 years, which is also quite a lot, but we absolutely never saw this as a problem. I would recommend you the book "What Happened in Amsterdam" by Rachel Lynn Solomon. I lived in the Netherlands for some time, and the mood in the book was captured so wonderfully that I began to feel nostalgic. The plot is also good.
I love this post. I just finished Problematic Summer Romance, too! I enjoyed every minute of it. Lord of Scoundrels and Dreaming of You are top tier. All great recs.
Love this post...on so many levels. And yes, Matthew should start a pod and I love the name you suggested! Also, Demon Copperhead was one of my top 10 books of 2024 and I can't wait to hear what you think. Have fun at ThrillerFest and make sure you visit the Highline and Little Island.

I can’t wait to read What Happened in Amsterdam. Thanks for the reminder! Love that you lived in the Netherlands.
Very interesting about your 12 year age gap! I didn’t have a problem with the 15 years in Ali’s—it was fine for me.

Top. Tier!!
Your banter with Claire is every bit as delightful in print as it is in audio 😂🩷
Ha ha we agree😂
