This one gave me In My Dreams I Hold a Knife vibe with it set in college and a dead student. I enjoyed the dual timeline and Hannah questioning her past as she tries to find the truth. Great narration and lots of misdirection to keep you guessing.

This book has a lot going on with a stalker, swinging and transgender representation. Overall I enjoyed this book but thought it was just a lot. I really felt for Corrine and her relationship with her husband and her and bending to make him happy. I thought it was odd that Bridgett and Roman was so secured in their relationship that why try something that can only lead to heartbreak.

I really enjoyed A Lot Like Christmas and was looking forward to the 3rd book of this series. This book did not work for me, the whole story is about lack of communication. I was so annoyed with Whitney and being so secretive. For a couple that is so in love, they drove me nuts. I wanted to DNF the story but was curious what her big secret was. Once I found out, I was even more annoyed. It is totally something that she should have shared with Trent.

Thank you to the publisher for ARC of this.

I never thought I would love a book with a POV from an octopus!! This was such a sweet story told in several POV. I loved how the story came together and the friendship that Tova and Cameron formed. All the characters added so much depth to the story. The narration was amazing and brought the story to life.

Thank you @uplitreads for a copy of this book. This is part of a series which I read as a stand alone. This book has almost 3 stories, Ida's story, Margot and Jerome's love story and Margot's before story. Though I liked the 3 story individually, the three stories felt disjointed together. I felt it was a lot of back story of Ida that was a bit unnecessary. 

Margot's back story is so timely with turn over of Roe vs Wade. Her story is heartbreaking and I felt for her. Overall, I enjoyed the story.

Thank you to @williammorrowbooks for a copy of this book. This book transported me to the 70s to the topical landscape of Mustique. I enjoyed reading about Willie May and her daughter's time on the island. A historical fiction with mix of royalty and rock n roll stars and I enjoyed how the islanders interacted with them.

We had a sneak preview of Aidan and Elijah's relationship in the previous book and I was so excited to read their journey. A forbidden second chance romance with lots of steam - this book incorporated church as did the other books. 

I enjoyed that Aidan found solitude as a monk and had a great relationship with his fellow monks and that Elijah understood that as well. But of course; their love and connection was just to strong and they couldn't resist. 

A great love story and a great ending to this series.

This was a charming small town sweet romance that you would enjoy if you like:
- closed door 
- forbidden (soon to be step siblings
- multi-generational 
I really enjoyed the relationships between Ella, her mom and grandmother. I also enjoyed the sweetest the inn keeper and son brought to the story. I really didn't care for how both Jim and Brenda on how they treated the kids. It annoyed me that the kids were suppose to plan the party and Brenda was upset with their decisions. 

Thank you @prhaudio for a copy of the audiobook. This book combined my love of shoe and romance into one...perfection!!

I love that each chapter was centered on each beautiful shoe and how the story unfolded. There is a love triangle here but it was done well that it didn't bother me. The narration was well paced and kept me entertained.

Thank you @williammorrowbooks for a copy of this summer read. This was a book based on a wealthy beach town that Ama and Omar lived. The story centers on how they awarded 3 girls as their benefactor to their wealth and help them grow into young adults. Secrets are revealed on how these girls are connected Ama and Omar. As the secrets unfolded, the story got more interesting.
