Continuing with my theme of friend recommendations...I would like to thank my friend Robin for this next selection. Robin and I met through the YA Summit in 2020 after attending a virtual session with the AMAZING Dr. Sarah Donovan. We wound up joining one of her virtual book clubs and the rest is history. Since meeting online in 2020, we've enjoyed many coffee shop meetings where we discuss life, teaching, and BOOKS! Coffee soon Robin? I need to return this book to you. :)

Now onto the book recommendation!

Naz Kutub's debut novel The Loophole is an adventure in world travel and second chances. We've all messed up a time or two in our romantic lives. Think back to when you were 17 years old...would you make some different choices? What if you were gifted three wishes like in Aladdin?! This genie in this story is a stylish and sassy girl! Would you use those three wishes to mend a broken relationship? If so, how would you go about righting your wrongs? This is a fun, quirky novel and it makes me excited to see what's more to come from Naz Kutub. I hope you pick it up and enjoy it as much as I did. 

​-Nikki ❤
