What I'm Looking For
Courtney enjoys reading voice-driven commercial fiction, dark psychological fiction, and heartwarming romantic comedies. She particularly gravitates towards relatable adult or young adult novels that make her swoon over budding relationships, tackle tough topics or complex family dynamics, feature dashes of paranormal activity or magical realism, and anything atmospheric, creepy, and utterly thrilling. Her absolute favorite novels incite emotion, whether fear, heartbreak, or happiness—a book that makes her feel something is one she will read time and time again.
