Xpress Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA Erin McLellan's Controlled Burn is this week's starred fiction title. "This debut is an A+ example of young friends-to-lovers romance as well as new adult genre-theming. McLellan crafts a beautiful, angst-filled, and heart-wrenching debut that readers will not be able to put down." In Audiobooks, Jane Healey's The Saturday Evening Girls Club is recommended for "historical fiction and women’s fiction fans.... Cassandra Campbell’s performance is delightful. She capably portrays the large cast of characters, and as Caprice, the story’s main focus, her voice is soft but firm, conveying inner strength and a defined sense of self." No Small Plans, by Gabrielle Lyon and others, is this week's starred graphic novel. "Visually beautiful yet also artfully written in a way that entertains, this graphic work encourages readers to consider important questions related to their own communities and building a better tomorrow." And in e-originals, Nika Rhone's debut, What the Lady Wants, is "recommended for romance lovers who like a little humor and a lot of intrigue.... Rhone does an excellent job with the dialog and the suspenseful plot."
