Book Review: One True Loves

12th Jan 202212th Jan 2022Leave a comment

I've read enough Taylor Jenkins Reid to know two things: that I will be having a hard time putting the book down to go to sleep and that I will not be disappointed.

I was drawn to this book … Continue reading Book Review: You’ve Reached Sam

Book Review: Summer of ’69

It should come as no surprise that I hadn't read an Elin Hilderbrand novel until I picked up Summer of '69. And as soon as I started following what people were saying about it, I realized that, similar to when I read Jennifer Weiner's Mrs. Everything a few weeks ago, the style was not typical … Continue reading Book Review: Summer of ’69
