Review: This is a great read for summer and a great comfort read. Up At Butternut Lake by Mary McNear centers around Allie Beckett and her son Wyatt who are grieving the loss of their husband/father after he was killed in action in Afghanistan. This happened before the book begins. When the book opens, the mother […]
Review: I wanted to be emotionally knocked-over by this story. Amelia is 15 and works in a local grocery store. She is disillusioned by her parent’s marriage, or maybe she is disillusioned by her mother’s seemingly constant state of unhappiness with her lot in life as a mother and wife and working woman. Maybe she […]
Review: First of all, I wanted to love this book with all of my heart, but I didn’t. Also, it took me a full month to read this, which tells me so much for a ChickLit book. Here are the things I liked about The Royal We: I loved the time Nick and Bex spent at […]

Review: Mark and Ryan have been best friends forever. They kinda-sorta have a romantic relationship too, but it is super-complicated because Ryan is still closeted and completely unsure about when he wants to come out. No one knows about what Mark and Ryan have going, and the two never talk about it. At the beginning […]
Review: Little Beach Street Bakery by Jenny Colgan is my favorite new find! I tore through it in one day. Love love loved. Polly is heartbroken after she and her ex-boyfriend lose both their business and their flat. The stress from all of this causes a breakup that devastates Polly, so she ends up leaving […]
Review: I loved The Turning Point by Freya North. I’ve SO been in the mood for books just like this one lately. It is in London, by chance, that Frankie and Scott run into each other. Both are out of town working. While talking one evening, they discover that they both have a common interest […]
