I’m nothing if not a bag lady!! 🎒👛👜 Every day, I have my lunch bag, backpack, gym bag, and sometimes a tote for everything else?? I feel like there are 2 types of people - bag ladies like me, or wallet people. I may never be able to leave the house without 12-16 items, but I will ALWAYS have an Advil for you 😘

📖 Mini book review - Cover Story, Mhairi McFarlane
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5) 

📌Synopsis 
Sharp-witted journalist Bel must work undercover with Connor, an ambitious intern she clashes with, to investigate a potentially explosive story. As they pretend to be a couple, their workplace rivalry turns into unexpected friendship, and maybe something more…

💭 Thoughts 
Very cute! Predictable of course, but the point of Mhairi McFarlane’s novels is rarely just a love story. I’ve said it before but she writes the best slice-of-life books. You feel like you’re jumping into someone’s fully-formed life and friendships and struggles, and her main characters always feel so human and real. 

Now after reading most of her books, most of her female characters have a similar energy to them - fierce, funny, a good friend, quick on their feet. Even if they blur a bit together, I love reading them. 

❔Have you read any of her books?
