"Beating Heart" by Laura Pavlov is a sweet romance set in the cozy town of Magnolia Falls, focusing on Nash and Emerson's charming love story. But the real scene-stealer? Cutler, aka Beefcake, the most lovable fictional kid I've ever come across. His candid chats with Emerson are both heartwarming and heart-wrenching, and I love that she wants to be part of his life & make him happy—after all she is “Beefcake’s Girl”
