Let’s start with how fantastic this cover is! I’m a huge fan of Julia, so I knew the story was going to match the cover perfectly, in content and quality. Eva is truly something special. She’s a bit broken from an abusive ex-husband, but she’s still got a feisty spark. She’s incredibly funny with a… Continue reading Evangeline Goes West, Julia DeBarrioz

This Time Next Year, Sophie Cousens
The beginning of the blurb on Amazon really sums this up perfectly: “After thirty years of missed connections, they’re about to meet again...” I really think it’s a bit romantic, that Minnie and Quinn’s lives have intersected since their births. This one isn’t categorized as romance in Amazon as of today’s date, and I think… Continue reading This Time Next Year, Sophie Cousens

Protecting You, Amanda Siegrist
I bought this one a while ago and I’ve been meaning to read it as I’m a big fan of Siegrist. So I’m glad I could carve some time to read some of her earlier work that I hadn’t yet read. Ava is a supervisor for the crime lab in NYC, and she considers herself… Continue reading Protecting You, Amanda Siegrist
Music Man: K.L. Montgomery
I first developed a crush on Claire in Fat Girl. As a blogger, she talked a lot about her very relateable struggles in many aspects of life. She said a lot of things that hit home with me, so I was very excited that we got more of her life with Jack in Music Man.… Continue reading Music Man: K.L. Montgomery
The Art of Inheriting Secrets, Barbara O’Neal
This is my second O'Neal book and I borrowed this one from Prime reading (which I completely forgot I had). This one has been incredibly well reviewed, so I'm going to skip that and get into my thoughts. I loved Olivia's mother left her one final scavenger hunt, and I just wish it wasn't at… Continue reading The Art of Inheriting Secrets, Barbara O’Neal
Impact, Haley Jenner
I feel like this one has been fairly well reviewed so I'm going to skip that portion and just get down to my impressions. I borrowed this one because I saw a friend read it and love it. I normally don't have a hard time rating a book, and I've fluctuated back and forth between… Continue reading Impact, Haley Jenner
The Light at Dawn, K.L. Montgomery
I imagine it was hard to write about gun violence in America, especially in schools. It's such a hard and sensitive topic and I commend Montgomery for taking it on in a way that was respectful of both sides while still trying to portray just how much of a problem it is in our schools.… Continue reading The Light at Dawn, K.L. Montgomery
