In my quest of love for all things NYC, I picked up Park Avenue Summer and it was just what I hoped it would be! A little nostalgia, a little glam, and a whole lot of women empowerment, this book was a gem. Based around the true story of Helen Gurley Brown, Cosmopolitan magazine’s first female editor-in-chief, Park Avenue…

Beach Read – Emily Henry
If you think you’re about to read a chick-lit book about a beach vacation when you pick up Beach Read, then you are wrong. Myself included, I had no idea the depth to this book and upon reading several similar reviews, concluded that the title (and cover art) is incredibly captivating and misleading at the same time. …
The Lies That Bind – Emily Giffin
I’ve been waiting for Emily Giffin’s new book to release for so long; after reading All We Ever Wanted, her most recent before this one, I could hardly wait for The Lies That Bind. I know there are dedicated readers of her early work, like Something Borrowed and Something Blue, and after reading her latest two I can’t believe I…
Allie and Bea – Catherine Ryan Hyde
Allie and Bea was such a refreshing read! I loved getting to know both characters and the relationship between the two of them was so heartwarming to see develop over the course of the story. Bea, a widow whom lives off her social security check in a trailer, has been recently scammed into losing every penny…
When We Believed In Mermaids – Barbara O’Neal
When We Believed In Mermaids was a Kindle Unlimited pick and those books are always hit or miss as they aren’t usually your newly released, bestseller-type books. However, after seeing a 4.2 rating with nearly 52,000 reviews on Goodreads I decided to give it a go! I am so glad I did because this book truly…
Unspeakable Things – Jess Lourey
Forgive me for not having a pretty photo of this book as the cover for this post – due to the stay at home order and pandemic happening, libraries are closed and I’ve run out of physical books to read! Of course, I have a rather large pile of books that I own that are…
The Grace Year – Kim Liggett
I finished The Grace Year a few days ago and have been trying to collect my thoughts on this book. I’ve been scouring Goodreads and reviews to read others’ thoughts and compare to my own interpretation (yes, this is what I do in my spare time LOL). I’m honestly struggling to find the words to…
The Mother-In-Law – Sally Hepworth
I was feeling frisky and wanted to read a mystery, which doesn’t happen too often. I’ve seen this book recommended several places online and when it became available at my library, I snagged it up and read it in just 2 days! Lucy’s relationship with her mother-in-law, Diana, is a bit complicated. She lost her…
Tell Me Three Things – Julie Buxbaum
My first Young Adult book of the year goes to Tell Me Three Things by Julie Buxbaum. It’s been on my list for quite some time now, as I remember seeing it among the shelves of a local bookstore last year and distinctly remember I liked the cover. Heart-shaped waffles, how cute! This book is so much…
