Love and Other Conspiracies

Today’s post isn’t exactly a book review because I wasn’t approved for an ARC. However, I did read an earlier version of this book and I love it so much that I just HAD to write about it. (Disclaimer – Mallory is a really good friend so this is going to be basically me yelling about my love for this book and her).

So to start, you should pre-order this book. It comes out August 20th, and it is so fun and wonderful and full of weird cryptid stuff I didn’t know I needed to know. I mean JUST LOOK AT THIS AMAZING COVER!!!

Here’s the blurb:

Hallie Barrett’s life has imploded after she’s dumped by her hotshot ex, who also happens to be her coworker and the star of the online series she was producing. Without a new show to present for the company competition, she’ll be out of a job. But inspiration can come from the strangest places . . . like the most handsome guy she’s ever seen passionately discussing Bigfoot on a late-night docuseries.
 
Hayden Hargrove made a name for himself as a cryptid expert on his hit podcast, and is intrigued by the plucky, blue-haired producer who offers him the opportunity to lead his own web show. When the production team sees that Hayden’s solo on-screen presence is bad enough to make a ghost blanch, Hallie jumps on camera too, hitting him (and his cryptids) with a healthy dose of skepticism—and enough chemistry to electrify their show to the top of the competition.
 
As Hayden and Hallie investigate the unknown, they unearth feelings for each other that shake their beliefs to the core. In their search for Mothman, aliens, and the truth, the most elusive discovery might just be learning to love again.

Hallie and Hayden are SUCH a fantastic couple. I love them both so much. This is one of my very favorite books of the year and I haven’t even gotten to read the final version!! It’s funny and quirky and I really don’t think I need to say anymore other than GO PRE-ORDER THIS BOOK. You won’t regret it!
