Hi friends,

This is already day 17 of our Best Reads of 2020 and today we are choosing our best contemporary (or romance) read in 2020!

⁠ One of my favorites this year is Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid!⁠

Would have I read this very hyped book if I hadn’t been pushed? No.

When I read it was about a band and there would be drugs and excess, I was not interested. Drugs are one of my triggers in books due to a friend plunging in that hell when I was a teenager.

But one of my friends, Daisy @DGBookBlog made a bargain with me: I would read “her” book and she would read one of my YA fantasy, Six of Crows. Each of us going outside of our comfort zone.

As Kaz Brekker would say “the deal is the deal”.

 
Even with this, would have I finished the book if it had been a physical book that I read? No.

I am pretty sure I would have lost interest due to the special “format” with multiple POV and interviews.

But listening to that story was …fabulous! ⁠ I chose to listen to that book and I was BLOWN AWAY!⁠ The cast was incredible and I was convinced they were a real band and looked after their music, just to realize they never existed!!!⁠ ⁠ And what’s even better is that my friend loved Six of Crows so much that she read Crooked Kingdom and I read The Seven Husband of Evelyn Hugo 🙃⁠

And you what’s been your favorite contemporary read in 2020?

Thanks for reading!
