Writers & Lovers, Lily King

This novel takes place beginning in the late 1990s with a vulnerable Casey Peabody. After losing her mother suddenly and suffering break-up-related heartache, Casey moves to Massachusetts and spends her days trying to make a living, while keeping her creativity alive.

Betsey: A Memoir, Betsey Johnson

Of course I had to have a fashion pick for you. Who better to select than the life story of the iconic Betsey Johnson. A range of the life experiences that shaped her --career and personal life-- are shared in this memoir. Whether it is her battle with breast cancer, her life as a single mother, or her famous splits and cartwheels down the runway, this piece is sure to be anything but boring!

She gets caught up in two very different loves, both with equally uncertain outcomes. If you want to join Ava in her attempt to choose the love that is right for her, then pick up Exciting Times at your nearest book store or online retailer today!

 

The Resisters, Gish Jen

This read ties in real world issues to the classic dystopian novel. The focus of this plot is a society altered by climate change. The new America is made up of those who live on dry land and those who live in flooded regions. Americans are united in the game of baseball as a way of resisting this new hard way of life.

 

Here For It, R. Eric Thomas

Here is another shorter read about the life of an Elle columnist. This collection of stories takes you through the struggles of Thomas during his journey of self-acceptance and battle to keep faith. It is a mix of hilarious anecdotes and inspiration. A must read if you want a light read for your next beach day!


 

The Bold Type

Where to Watch: Freeform and Hulu

This series follows a team of girls who work on producing a women’s magazine known on a global scale. It shows the ups and downs of their careers in the race to meet deadlines, and it also shows how they attempt to keep their social lives afloat. Building friendships, finding love, and self-discovery are just a few of the topics that keep them busy outside of work. These ladies are taking the big apple by storm.

 

Friends (Reunion!)

Where to Watch: HBOmax (coming soon)

When I saw this, I honestly did not believe it at first. But, it has been confirmed; these friends -- Monica, Rachel, Joey, Ross, Phoebe, and Chandler -- are meeting again for an HBO Max special to kick off this summer. Not much about the plot for this special episode has been revealed, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a little reminiscing at Central Perk!

 

Katy Keene

Where to Watch: The CW

This little spin-off of Riverdale follows a different set of Archie characters. A clothing designer, Broadway dreamer, potential singer, and some of New York’s most well-known executives take on the city’s social scene. Watch how the storylines intersect and build new paths for the characters as they experience struggles and victories, while growing their friendships with one another.

 

Lizzie McGuire reboot

Where to Watch: Disney+

Another crowd favorite of the early 2000s is Lizzie McGuire. Disney+ takes viewers from Lizzie’s teenage life and fast-forwards them to 30-year-old Lizzie along with Gordo and the McGuire family. Thought to air sometime in 2020, release date is uncertain.

 

Party of Five

Where to Watch: Freeform

This Freeform drama takes you along the lives of five siblings finding their way in America, while their parents have been deported back to Mexico. This is another reboot of a beloved show, but this time with an entirely new cast.
