picked this one up last night to read a few pages and see if i wanted to take it to the beach… and then i couldn’t put it down!
this is a wild story of memory loss and second chances, trying to piece back together a life after tragedy, with more layers and surprises than i anticipated!
this felt like a perfect beach read and i flew through it!!

this was such a fun surprise — seven days in june by tia williams was a FAVE of mine, and this is a YA spinoff with the daughter of seven days’ FMC 😍
it gives slight booksmart vibes — audre is your classic good girl who neeeeeeds to loosen up. enter: bash, surfer boy with a mysterious edge who everyyyyyone loves.
she of course hires him to be her fun consultant for the summer, and they’re for sure JUST FRIENDS… until they aren’t. 😏 it’s fun, it feels like summer, it tackles some deep themes, and it was awesome on audio! (thank you, @librofm, for my ALC!)
i just couldn’t STAND how insufferable eva was here — maybe the downside to having the story told from a pissed-off teenage POV? 🫠
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for this one, i really liked it

this was a fun and fast read, at the intersection of mystery, romance, and thriller. when a man ends up dead, and then another, and another, gwen realizes they are all men she went on dates with thanks to an app…
i thought i had this figured out so many times and was always wrong WHICH I LOVED and the ending was both wonderfully surprising and a little frustrating, as many thrillers tend to be.
i enjoyed it, especially as a single gal in the awful world of dating apps and bad apps and men who do horrible things 🫠
⭐️⭐️⭐️— i liked it!

✈️ the guncle abroad — the biggest disappointment of the bunch. i loved the first book but wooooof the main character was unlikable here. couldn’t finish it. nothing heartfelt or redeeming to be found.
a bff book rec that i loved! 🥰
this one was a total unknown for me, but when i got a text from my texas best friend saying she was reading it and liking it, i grabbed a copy so fast.
it’s about a former sorority girl who starts a prestigious poetry MFA program only to discover that one of her fellow grad students is her high school crush-turned-nemesis—who can’t stop writing about her… and it’s cuuuuuute!
and a bonus of a book about poets? the writing was beautiful!
sometimes, it’s really wonderful going into a book knowing nothing. so much room to be surprised and delighted!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — really liked it.

i first heard jeff talk about the theology of compost way back at 2018’s first @evolvfaith conference, and it blew me away so much i hardly could take notes (but swipe to the end to see them, heart wrenchingly and perfectly sharing a page with rachel held evans’ words).
to experience those words of life and death, of tending and harvesting, of decomposing matter and messy relationships and somehow faith and compassion and evolution weaving through all of it in these pages… it’s so rich. so tender.
i’ve been reading it on audio over the past few weeks, savoring the stories jeff tells (in his own voice!) and the way he so elegantly and poetically strings words together with such shimmering beauty and deep wisdom.
this one is such a gift, a rare book that both shares and gives space, that feels like slowing down and soaking up, that reminds you of the real stuff, the good stuff, even in the mess.
and truly, you’ll never look at compost the same way again. 🥹
like jeff said tonight, “how would i have known that to be beautiful until i experienced it?” ❤️🩹
(ps — the book is a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read, and knowing jeff reads every review, i hope he knows how deeply grateful i am for his words and even more, for his presence in this world.)
thank you to @randomhouse for my copy!!

like so many girlies (gender inclusive) this week, i just finished this one! 💖
i’ve seen mixed reviews on this one as it’s a departure from em hen’s usual romance vibe, but i appreciated a fresh pov and a new angle! it gave some evelyn hugo vibes (a good thing) and covered multiple generations and characters (i’ll admit, i got people confused a bit) while also having multiple storylines going in the present, but it was lovely and layered and i FLEW through it. (seriously, read 311 pages in one 2 hour stint at a @silentreadingpartyrva!)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for this one! and thank you @librofm for the ALC — julia whelan’s narration is incredible, as always.
