Love is in the air… and so are good books! In honor of Valentine’s Day this Saturday, our Butler Bookshelf this week is all about… you guessed it: love! From a cherry-blossom-covered Tokyo fling to humanoid coffee-shop meet-cutes, these YA books are full of witty banter, swoony romance, and more than enough butterflies-in-the-stomach to go around. Our feature pick for this week is The Roommate Arrangement by Samantha Markum. Type-A and high-strung Blair’s pre-college coding summer just got a lot more complicated after she finds herself stuck in the same apartment as her older brother’s brooding best friend, Jamie. The two bicker constantly, but it’s no secret that there’s something bubbling beneath the surface. Something that might just be more than platonic.
