I was a little worried going into Things You Save in a Fire (in stores now!), because I had heard nothing but amazing things about it, and I had high expectations after reading How To Walk Away a couple of weeks ago. I knew I needed something to break the reading slump I've been in … Continue reading Book Review: Things You Save in a Fire
It should come as no surprise that I hadn't read an Elin Hilderbrand novel until I picked up Summer of '69.
