Thank you to Berkley for the gifted copy. Y’all … I could NOT put this book down. I was intrigued from page one and felt so conflicted. I didn’t know who to trust. And let’s just say that I did NOT see that ending coming. From the Publisher: She’s paid the price for giving her …
Thank you to the Kensington Books for the gifted copy. Out 3/31/20. The Sunday Potluck Club solid sweet romance! I loved the groups of four friends and the way they all interacted with and supported each other. I really related to Amy and the way she felt compelled to be the helper and peacemaker, but …
Today is International Women’s Day, and I’ve struggled to find the words to adequately convey what I’m thinking today. I am a woman and a mother of a strong, independent little girl who will grow up to be a formidable and fierce woman. The world she’s being raise in will call her bossy or rude …
I’m not sure I have the words to adequately review this book. I was enthralled with Ana’s voice and her story. When we meet her, Ana is just fifteen. Her entire life is dedicated to her family and she sacrifices everything for them. Her strength and determination amid everything she’d been dealt was inspiring. The …
An eerie silence fell over the pitch-black room. I clutched his tiny, warm body to my chest. The tiny gasps of his uneven breaths did little to soothe the anxiety rising inside of me. I strained my ears in a feeble attempt to dig through the silence in search of the familiar sounds of rain, …

I didn’t even think about it, I simply said, “Yes.” At the time, it wasn’t a difficult decision. My answer was my answer and …

For the past year, I’ve been attempting to balance working motherhood, marriage, reading, launching a Bookstagram, and writing and querying. I wrote four full manuscripts. I read 120 books. I lost my patience, my temper, and at times, my mind. I stopped taking care of myself. My hair? Hot mess. My makeup? Huh, what’s that? …
Thank you to St. Martin’s Press for the gifted copy. I didn’t love it or hate it. Don’t get me wrong, I love Hollywood gossip and drama as much as any white Suburban mom but this one bordered on the ridiculous. The writing was fun, but over the top at times. So, that’s it. That’s …
Despite a slow start, I found When We Were Brave the be captivating. Normally, I adore dual timelines, but the present-day story felt too forced and it pulled me out of the story. I was more interested and invested in Vivi’s story than I was in Sophie’s, and felt those parts were more of a …
Have you ever read a book that both broke and revived your heart? The Girl With the Louding Voice was both heartbreaking and inspiring. I absolutely loved Adunni and reading this book in her voice made it that much more real. Her words and sentences became more confident as she learned and grew, her voice …
