Nerd alert: I love these older books about manifesting your best life. I flew through this in one day. This one includes a lot of Bible references and how you can harness the power of thought to improve your life. Not everyone's cup of tea, but I enjoy these!

I was ready to read a mystery/suspense novel this month and this one was a good choice! The main character, Shay, finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time and everything unfolds from there. While farfetched at times, this book kept my attention and kept me guessing. There are some heavy topics in this book, so reader beware if you have experienced any trauma.

If you have been reading my book reviews for any length of time, you know I am a sucker for any book that goes back and forth between two life scenarios for one character. The main character's fiance' is killed in the beginning of the book and it splits off between life without him and life with him after that. Add this one to your reading list now!

by: Mary Higgins Clark
⭐⭐⭐


I have long been a fan of Mary Higgins Clark, but I am skeptical if she is even writing her own books now. While a good story, I had this book figured out before I was even at the halfway mark. If you enjoy mysteries, it is good, but definitely not traditional Mary Higgins Clark.

by: Kate White
⭐⭐⭐


Kate White is another mystery author that I absolutely love. This book was okay, but not her best work. If I had not read all of her other books, I would have loved this; does that make sense? I listened to this one on audible, and since I am new to audiobooks, maybe that had something to do with it. Good mystery, but skip it if you have read Kate White's previous work.

I loved this book! The main character is a plus sized Instagram influencer who gets caught up in a mystery while in a summer wedding. This book has mystery, romance and laughter. This is a great summer read!

by: Kristy Woodson Harvey
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


This was my final book of the month and I could not love it more!! I am a huge fan of Kristy Woodson Harvey and I absolutely adored this book. The main characters could not be more different or more relatable; I instantly felt connected to both of them. The beach, romance, friendship...what's not to love about this book?

One of the best parts about reading is sharing books I love with others. That is why I am gifting my copy of Feels Like Falling to one lucky blog reader! Simply head over to my Instagram to enter!
