Beautiful words written by folks from across the arts: authors and comedians, actors and musicians, the children of immigrants or immigrants themselves, American Like Me unfurls the gorgeous tapestry of my America, where the descendant of Russian-Jewish immigrants, who grew up keeping kosher and missing Friday night dances, can be a writer and cosplayer and speak Spanish and Arabic. And I won’t give up on it. Dark, sharp, and intriguing, this was a book I could not read fast enough. It was the kind of book I literally couldn’t put down, glued to the ebook reader on my phone while I was supposed to be chaperoning a field trip at the time (whoops). Tense and sardonic, this book does not disappoint. Rafe is the low in angst, fluffy and cute novel you’ve been looking for your entire life. Let me tell you that you have found it. In this romance story, Dr. Sloan needs a nanny to watch her kids, but she never thought she would find her love match as well. Rafe is our buff nanny who will easily enchant you with his sweetness and care for Sloan and her children. We don’t get a lot of male nanny heroes, or if we do, it’s never their choice of career. But in Rafe, this is not the case. Rafe loves doing his job and you see it pretty early on. This book is really fluff on fluff and I absolutely adore it. The prose is gorgeous and the creep factor is just right. It’s everything you could want in a book: girls being bad, girls working together to fight bad guys, queer girls getting a happy ending, and teenage girls smashing the patriarchy.
