Tired of searching for a romantic comedy that will make you laugh until your sides hurt? Look no further!

For those who do not consider themselves food connoisseurs, pastry artisans, or sommeliers in training, this book may at times feel somewhat tedious, as these elements are the vehicle that moves the story forward. If this describes you, or if you can at least appreciate a book that caters to a European foodie&rsquo;s sheer bliss, you are in luck. Like many of its predecessors, &ldquo;The Pairing&rdquo; shares a beautifully woven love story of two people who, through miscommunication, were driven apart &ndash; only to come back together in the most unusual of ways. The essence and magic of Casey McQuiston, who uses they/them pronouns, shine brightly. It&rsquo;s always a joy to know that when they bring two protagonists together, they won&rsquo;t make it easy, but they will always make it fun!

The Pairing by Casey McQuiston

<div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="32hns-0-0">This book is going to be the death of me! I was so engrossed in one chapter that I didn&rsquo;t realize I had stepped too far to the left on the treadmill and almost fell off! I was drinking hot tea when a well-timed idiom mix-up had me choking. In short, &ldquo;Say It Again&rdquo; is funny! It&rsquo;s not just hilarious, it is so full of emotion that if you are not bent over in laughter, you are fanning your face to keep the tears from streaking your cheeks while reading it in public and receiving sidelong glances.</div>

Say It Again by Tessa Hatfield 

While all signs point to this being the last book in the series, I am still curious about Ansel! In either case, if this was the final book in the Extracurricular Activities series, it was a wonderful way to end it. We indirectly learn about Cam in &ldquo;Want Me.&rdquo; We meet him briefly when he returns to apologize and share that he is coming back to school in &ldquo;Try Me.&rdquo; We also learn how much his history intertwined with Mark and Chet. We befriend him in &ldquo;Show Me&rdquo; after he moves in to take up the last roommate spot after Eric and Nate move out (one spot already being taken by Sam), and we finally get to watch him move through his last year of college, two years after he accidentally overdosed and essentially blew up his life as he knew it. All the stories we received about Cam were secondhand (until his heartfelt apology to Mark), but being in his head and seeing how his past threatens his present on an everyday basis makes you find yourself rooting for him and hoping that he can finally be himself, free of judgment, stigma, and everything else that initially drove him down a path of substance abuse.

Teach Me (Book #4 of the Extracurricular Activities Series) by Neve Wilder

Okay, this one was bizarre. Don&rsquo;t get me wrong, it was still funny, sweet, hot, and all the things, but the coming together of Jesse and Sam felt a little less natural than Eric and Nate, or Mark and Chet. The accidental walk-in&mdash;believable. The childhood rivalry marred with unrequited lust&mdash;again, believable. Sam and Jesse&mdash;a little out of left field and a lot harder pill to swallow, but it was still entertaining.&nbsp;

Show Me (Book #3 of the Extracurricular Activities Series) by Neve Wilder

I give up and accept that I will be reading every book in this series. As soon as I put down &ldquo;Want Me,&rdquo; I picked up &ldquo;Try Me.&rdquo; Neve does an incredible job keeping everything in the same universe, and this book picks up right where &ldquo;Want Me&rdquo; ends&mdash;at Eric and Nate&rsquo;s housewarming party. Neve uses the prologue as a surprising introduction to a history between Mark and Chet that we weren&rsquo;t previously aware of. We thought their history began and ended with Cam, but it turns out they had known each other since childhood! This justifies Nate&rsquo;s suspicion in &ldquo;Want Me&rdquo; that there was a lot more going on than Mark was saying.

Try Me (Book #2 of the Extracurricular Activities Series) by Neve Wilder

You may want to stock up on &ldquo;Awws&rdquo; because you are definitely going to need them. This book is adorably cute, sweet, and swoon-worthy. From Kip and Scott&rsquo;s meet-cute, to watching them fall for each other, to the most inspiring ending, I enjoyed every single moment. For those who like a balance of happiness and drama, you&rsquo;ll find light sprinkles but nothing earth-shattering or suspenseful. What you will find are some of the hottest MM romance scenes I have read in a while. I definitely applaud Rachel for some sweat-inducing, collar-pulling moments!

Game Changer (Book #1 of the Game Changers Series) by Rachel Reid

There was a scene so intense that I think I stopped breathing. I had to take a moment because I honestly thought I was going to cry&mdash;it was just so potent and raw that I couldn&rsquo;t help but feel everything being shared all at once. Nate and Eric&rsquo;s story was touching, hot as fire, and incredibly sweet. The way they were drawn to and orbited around each other kept me enthralled.

Want Me (Book #1 of the Extracurricular Activities) by Neve Wilder 

Like Him, this books is thought provoking, deep, sad, and consuming. In Him, we focused on Wes&rsquo;s struggle with his unrequited love for Jamie and Jamie trying to understand his new feelings for Wes. In Us, we finally to get to see these two together but we also get a reality check of what life will be like for an up and coming Rookie hiding his sexuality.

Us (Book #2 of the Him Series) by Elle Kennedy and Sarina Bowen

Confession - After reading Him, Us, and Epic, I had unrealistically high expectations for Top Secret. While it was nowhere near as enthralling as the Him Series, it was entertaining enough that I sought out the book to see what happened next. My mistake for reading it directly after the series. It just didn&rsquo;t have the same humor and heart that I experienced with Jamie and Wes.

As I couldn&rsquo;t let Jamie and Wes go, I jumped right into Us. As I read them back to back, I am trying to make sure I don&rsquo;t add any crossover but will say if you thought this was funny, dramatic, and generally an emotion whirlwind, you haven&rsquo;t seen anything yet.

Him by Elle Kennedy and Sarina Bowen

Amy’s message of love, forgiveness, redemption, mental health, and acceptance is the golden combination of what makes a good book a lasting memory. Read the rest of my review in the Romantic Comedy Book Club Facebook Group or on romcombc.com.

This book makes you think, makes you feel, and makes you laugh. The steamy scenes are insane but the tender scenes are just as enthralling. Read the rest of my review in the Romantic Comedy Book Club Facebook Group or on romcombc.com.

Another incredible  LGBTQ+ rom-com (again - consider this your warning/disclaimer if you take issue). This book really dives into how looks can be deceiving, second chances, and how we are all guilty of self sabotage (and that we are also capable of overcoming it).

This book was WOW and SO hot! While I thoroughly enjoyed it and am an LBGTQ+ ally, it is a  LGBTQ+ rom-com so for those who may take - you have been warned. Disclaimer asides, you will laugh (SO HARD), cry, and stand up and cheer!

Snippet of my review: This was a fake relationship, second chance type of romantic comedy. It starts with Kian healing from a broken heart and attempting to move on ONLY to have his ex come back in and ask for a favor. Read the rest of my review in the Romantic Comedy Book Club Facebook Group.
