This week brings us one feel-good romcom about loving and celebrating yourself for all you are (and if it has you humming Lizzo songs we count that as a bonus). It also brings us a gritty, real look into the lives of four American war heroes. Skip the long wait with either of these of these new releases and enjoy some pure escapist fare, or a moving tribute to soldiers’ sacrifices.
Savvy Sheldon Feels Good as Hell by Taj McCoy
Fans of foodie romance, feel-good love stories, curvy heroines living their best lives, or full-life makeovers won’t want to miss this debut romcom. The body positivity makes it a perfect match for fans of Talia Hibbert and Olivia Dade, and the author’s background as a private chef makes it a prime pick for anyone who likes to dream of the delicious meals that appear in the pages of their books.
Against All Odds by Alex Kershaw

As Memorial Day approaches, this serious look at the tragedy and valor found on the battlefield is a fitting way to honor veterans of war.
