[Note from Frolic: Today, we welcome author Amy Pine to the site. If you need a laugh, she has you covered! Take it away, Amy!]
We all need a little humor in our lives, and when that humor is paired with romance? Even better! They’re two of my favorite ingredients when crafting a story. No matter how serious or poignant any of my stories might be (don’t worry…I rarely get uber serious), it’s important for me to always throw in a dash of humor to balance the heavy with a dose of light.
The same goes for my reading tastes. I can handle just about anything if a story offers me a laugh here and there. That’s not to say that all stories should have humor because there is definitely a time and a place for it, and not all story subjects lend themselves to such a time and place, but as for my reading life, I tend to seek out both love and levity in between the pages of a book.
So, I guess it’s your lucky day since I’m here to share five books that offer both. And because my new release, THE BLOOM GIRLS, is a mother/daughter story with a dollop of romance and more than a sprinkling of humor, my pics range from YA to adult. Bonus? All authors are Jewish, and all books contain Jewish rep—just like THE BLOOM GIRLS! So pull up a beach chair, and grab your next romance and humor-filled read!
