As Women’s History Month comes to a close, this week’s Butler Bookshelf has many fantastic books featuring female protagonists. Particularly, we are excited to dive into The Meet-Cute Project by Rhiannon Richardson. This story follows Mia, a teen who hates romantic comedies. However, she may be forced to live through her own love story, as she is tasked with finding a date for her sister’s wedding. Mia’s friends–lovers of rom-coms–help by plotting to create the perfect meet-cute. For more great reads, check out the list below!
