This one got a DIK from us.

 

Hang the Moon is a big, gooey, romantic Valentine of a novel.  Just as good as its predecessor Written in the Stars, it gives us sweet characters, a romantic and well-sketched setting, and split focus between romance and friendship.  It worked on me hard, until I finally gave in to its charms.

Coffee addicted cynic Annie Kyriakos’ life has been in a holding pattern for way too long.  But now, she’s has opportunity to take a promotion and move from Philadelphia to London to become the new managing director of Brockman and Brady. She hasn’t seen her best friend Darcy in years, and in what might be the only chance she’ll have to catch up with her for a while, she flies off to Seattle to break the news of her move to Darcy in-person, only to discover her best friend is in Canada on vacation. (As told in Written in the Stars).  When Annie calls Darcy from the airport – where she’s stuck – Darcy immediately formulates a plan involving her brother.

Brendon Lowell, co creator of the OTP (yes, really – this time short for One True Person) dating app, is a romantic at heart, even though he keeps bumping his forehead against the closed door to love.  He’s always carried a little torch for his sister’s childhood best friend, but seeing her now has completely changed his perspective on what the future might hold.  He promises Darcy that he’ll show Annie around Seattle, but he’s not prepared for the girl he’s always liked to turn out to be a stone-cold fox as a grown woman.  Annie, too, is shocked that dorky little Brendon has grown up into a gorgeous (but still dorky) man.

They begin to explore Seattle together, but Brendon soon learns that Annie’s not interested in anything romantic – both because of her career plans and the fact that she’s given up on dating.  He tries to change her mind in multiple ways.  Armed with everything he’s learned from years of watching romcoms, he sets about wooing Annie into staying.  He has just one week to do it. Let the games begin.

This is one of my favorite fairy tale retellings of all time.

 

Anidori-Kiladra Talianna Isilee, Crown Princess of Kildenree, spends the first years of her life listening to her aunt’s stories and learning the language of the birds, especially the swans. As she grows up, Ani develops the skills of animal speech, but she never feels quite comfortable speaking with people.

So when Ani’s mother sends her away to be married in a foreign land, she finds herself at the mercy of her silver-tongued lady in waiting, who leads a mutiny that leaves her alone, destitute, and fleeing for her life. To survive, Ani takes on work as a royal goose girl, hiding in plain sight while she develops her forbidden talents and works to discover her own true, powerful voice.
