Something Good: Friday Night Links + Make Up Break Up by Lily Menon
Friday Night Links on a Sunday? Why not! 2021 is already going as “well” as 2020 went, so I guess all rules are off.
On Something Good
- A little look at what’s going on behind the scenes of Something Good. I want to note that this post was published on Wednesday, but it was written before everything happened.
- After all my odd shopping in 2020, I found quite a few good purchases. Here are my favorite products from 2020.

This Week’s Reads:
Make Up Break Up by Lily Menon
Note: I received this book as an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
It’s the first adult romance from Sandhya Menon! You might remember her from one of my favorite YA romances, When Dimple Met Rishi. She’s now here under the pen name Lily Menon to start her career in adult rom coms and I could not be more excited.
Make Up Break Up tells the story of Annika Dev, an app developer who is determined to make her app succeed, even if her budget is quickly running out. It doesn’t help that her recent fling from last year’s tech conference in Vegas is now the darling of the app world.
I loved everything about this book. From the characters to the story, every moment of this book was excellent. Menon has the ability to write a plot that’s unpredictable, but flows so smoothly. Like all of her books, the characters are so lovable that you can’t stop rooting for them, even while you’re cringing at what they’re doing.
Make Up Break Up doesn’t come out until February, but add it to your to reads list now!
Books I’ve read recently:
Around the web
I live only a few blocks from the Capitol, so this past week has been hard, to say the least. I was glued to the news on Wednesday and felt like a zombie on Thursday. What happened was disgusting and painful to see, but sadly not surprising. One thing that has helped me a little bit has been to follow Emily – 1 Minute Politics on instagram. She posts incredibly insightful political analysis and explains what’s going on so a normal person can understand it. She’s also incredibly good at answering questions. I’ll be following her updates over over these next few weeks which feel incredibly unpredictable.
