ICYMI on FYA
In this week’s Stream It, Stephanie revisited Fools Rush In, the adorable rom-com starring Salma Hayek and beloved, gone-too-soon Matthew Perry. And now it’s very dusty in here.

In book reviews:
- Regina checked out Brooms, about a diverse group of witchy friends set in an alternate version of 1930’s Mississippi.
- Brian reviewed The Black Queen, a whodunnit about the murder of a high school homecoming queen.
- Scout liked Jennifer Mathieu’s Down Came the Rain, a sweet romance between two environmentally conscious teens set in post-Hurricane Harvey Houston.
