Barefoot Beach-the Perfect Summer Read!

Barefoot Beach was my first read by author Debbie Mason. This book is being released by Forever (Grand Central Publishing) on 06/04/19. A huge thanks to NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

It's wedding season at Harmony Harbor, and the natives are set on matching newcomer Theia Lawson with local hunk Marco DiRossi. While Theia is trying to plan her exit from the town, Marco convinces her to "fake date" him for the summer to convince his family he's already fallen in love with her...BECAUSE NOTHING CAN GO WRONG THERE!

Secrets are revealed and Theia and Marco (who are now actually interested in one another) have to find a way to survive this if they want to end up on the path to true love.

Alright you guys. I will be completely honest here. These types of books are NOT my cup of tea. That being said, I had so much FUN with this book. I wanted to be Theia. She was such a hard character to not fall for, despite everything going on around her. She was tough, independent, and she gave Marco a run for his money.

And Marco...dear lord. He was the type of guy every girl dreams of finding. SWOON.

I'm glad I stepped out of my comfort zone on this one. It was super enjoyable, and I was sad to see it end. It's a perfect summer book, so be sure to pick this up on 06/04 to read at by the pool, at the beach, or waiting on your kid's summer camp activities to end! 💜

Is One Truly the Loneliest Number?

I was given a digital copy of One? by Jennifer L. Cahill. She reached out to me through Twitter, and she was so sweet. I couldn't wait to dive into her book.💙 The Plot (From Goodreads): It's London in the mid-noughties before Facebook, iPhones and ubiquitous wifi. Zara has just moved to London for her first real job and struggles to find her feet in a big city with no instruction manual. Penelope works night and day in an investment bank with little or no time for love. At twenty-eight she is positively ancient as far as her mother is concerned and the pressure is on for her to settle down as the big 3-0 is looming. Charlie spends night and day with his band who are constantly teetering on the verge of greatness. Richard has relocated to London from his castle in Scotland in search of the one, and Alyx is barely in one place long enough to hold down a relationship let alone think about the future. One? follows the highs and lows of a group of twenty-somethings living i

First Post-Here We Go!

This is still a little insane to me. Last week I wasn't even thinking a Bookstagram would be possible for me, let alone a blog! What if I'm not interesting? What if my reviews are terrible? What if I actually have BAD taste in books? I guess we're going to find out. Follow me. Be patient with me. Grow with me. Let's explore as many amazing stories, wonderful authors, and unforgettable books as we can! 💙

Less is more? An honest take on Less, by Andrew Sean Greer.

I finished this book and immediately thought, "I wish this wasn't going to be my first book review." What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? Let's see if that's true. The plot is interesting enough. Arthur Less is a failure. He's a failed novelist. He's also a failed lover, proven by the wedding invitation from his ex that shows up in his mail. The love of his life has found someone else to love. What does he do, as a functioning adult? He accepts invitations to participate in literary events around the world in an attempt to avoid the nuptials. Less travels to Mexico, Italy, Germany, Morocco, India, and Japan in an effort to avoid his grief. This is a love story, a satirical look at Americans abroad, and an honest, if not painful look at relationships and how they progress over time. Sounds entertaining enough, right? This book was 260 pages and I felt every single one of them. I trudged through this book with all the grac
