Historia
Anna first fell in love with London at her hometown library—its Jane Austen balls a far cry from her life of food stamps and hand-me-downs. But when she finally arrives after college, the real London is a moldy flat and the same paycheck-to-paycheck grind—that fairy-tale life still out of reach. Then Anna meets the Wilders, who fly her to Saint-Tropez to tutor their teenage daughter. Swept up by the sphinx-like elder sister, Anna soon finds herself plunged into a heady whirlpool of parties and excess, a place where confidence is a birthright.

Aimed at a younger audience maybe?
Revisado: 04-18-25
Cute story but nothing overly profound. Definitely geared toward a young 20’s audience (which I didn’t realize going in) so everything seemed immature. What was more interesting to me was the vivid details of London, St Tropez and Portugal and I enjoyed the details about fashion too. The narrator sounded very young and when she was excited she sounded more like a 10 year old than a young woman.

Historia
Lenny’s a bit of a mess at the moment. Ever since cancer stole away her best friend, she has been completely lost. She’s avoiding her concerned parents, the apartment she shared with her best friend, and the ever-laminated “live again” list of things she’s promised to do to survive her grief. But maybe if she acts like she has it all together, no one will notice she’s falling apart. The only gigs she can handle right now are temporary babysitting jobs, and she just landed a great one, helping overworked, single mom Reese and her precocious daughter, Ainsley.

Typical rom com but this one had a twist in that both main characters were grieving. Narration was a bit over the top and cringy but the story was cute

After spending years building her brand as a widowed mother of four (including twins!) to over a million followers, the thirty-seven-year-old is at the peak of her career. But it all comes to a screeching halt when Mia, her teenaged daughter, announces she’s tired of the social media life.

Two sides to social media
Revisado: 03-24-25
I liked that this story made me consider an influencer’s and a child’s right to privacy but I think more of a compromise could have been made to benefit them both. I was mostly annoyed with the daughter’s friend’s parents who overstepped and got involved where they didn’t belong.

Historia
Cate Kay knows how to craft a story. As the creator of a bestselling book trilogy that struck box office gold as a film series, she’s one of the most successful authors of her generation. The thing is, Cate Kay doesn’t really exist. She’s never attended author events or granted any interviews. Her real identity had been a closely guarded secret, until now.

Different than I expected
Revisado: 01-20-25
Wasn’t sure if I was going to like it at first. I thought it was going to be a bit more of a thriller. The beginning is a bit confusing until you understand the characters but I ended up really enjoying it.

Unexpected
Revisado: 01-18-25
I did not expect to like this book so much! Mel does a great job narrating it so it sounds like listening to a friend. It’s all info you know deep down but such a great reminder and gives you practical ways to use the advice in all areas of life. I skipped the chapters on dating (I’m happily married) but I found all the other parts to be relevant: career, social life, family life and the small blurb about using the theory while raising kids. So much to think about and the concept is so freeing.

This was so good. Reminded me of a Kristin Hannah book. Good mix of historical fiction, family relationships and love stories.

Historia
Beth and Jennifer know their company monitors their office email. But the women still spend all day sending each other messages, gossiping about their coworkers at the newspaper and baring their personal lives like an open book. Jennifer tells Beth everything she can't seem to tell her husband about her anxieties over starting a family. And Beth tells Jennifer everything, period. When Lincoln applied to be an internet security officer, he hardly imagined he'd be sifting through other people's inboxes like some sort of electronic Peeping Tom.

After reading Slow Dance I had to check out the authors other books. This is similar to Slow Dance where the story isn’t overly thrilling but the character development is great.

They were just friends. Best friends. They spent entire summers sitting on Shiloh’s porch steps, dreaming about the future. They promised each other that, no matter what, their friendship would never change. Well, Shiloh did go to college, and Cary did join the Navy. And yet, somehow, everything changed.

This was a great story about relationships. It’s not overly exciting but the character development is great. You really feel for what the main characters are going through. It’s not your typical romance but it’s much more realistic.

Historia
As the child of a Hooters waitress and an ex-pro wrestler, Margo Millet's always known she’d have to make it on her own. So she enrolls at her local junior college, even though she can’t imagine how she’ll ever make a living. She’s still figuring things out and never planned to have an affair with her English professor—and while the affair is brief, it isn’t brief enough to keep her from getting pregnant. Despite everyone’s advice, she decides to keep the baby, mostly out of naiveté and a yearning for something bigger.

Weirdest book but so good
Revisado: 08-04-24
I don’t know quite how to describe this book. It’s unlike any other book I have read before. In some ways so realistic and others just so obscure. But it all works. You really feel for this girl who is just trying to do the best she can in a tough situation. She is both immature and the most mature person in her life. Definitely worth a listen.

Historia
Anna Green thought she was marrying Liam “West” Weston for access to subsidized family housing while at UCLA. She also thought she’d signed divorce papers when the graduation caps were tossed, and they both went on their merry ways. Three years later, Anna is a starving artist living paycheck to paycheck while West is a Stanford professor. He may be one of four heirs to the Weston Foods conglomerate, but he has little interest in working for the heartless corporation his family built from the ground up. He is interested, however, in his one-hundred-million-dollar inheritance.

Overall a solid book. Good beach read. The descriptions of the island/trip were great. It was predictable but cute and moved along at a good pace. Better than her last book.
