I just finished another great book by Abby Jimenez! I’m a big believer in not giving details of a book so it doesn’t spoil the surprise of it all (I don’t even read the back). The way Abby writes is truly a joy, she’ll make you laugh out loud (“snort”) – some of the words she chooses just makes it funnier for some reason. This book includes a romance, despite impossible odds when dealing with real life issues. Five stars, except for the fact that I read her books far too quickly. It’s a keeper for sure!

Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin is Book 1 in the Darcy & Rachel series. Two strong women in vastly different ways. This book will keep you entertained in a “I-can’t-believe-she-just-did-that” kind of way. Read on for my review…

I bought this book back in October. I’ve been saving it for two conflicting reasons. 1. Nearly everyone says this is one of the best books (if not, THE best) they’ve ever read. However, when I skimmed the synopsis it dealt with some hard topics, I wasn’t sure I wanted to delve into that territory just yet. And reason 2. Because I knew if I read it, it would be over. No one likes this book to end, so… But, I did read it – and ohmygosh, it’s akin to being on a roller coaster. The highs, the LOWS, and EVERY emotion in between. But in the end, what I remember most of all is the true love and kindness of people, despite their conditions, a community coming together. Which is the sentiment that won out overall.

Every once in a while a book comes out that is so special I just have to share with you. I haven’t read a book by Kristin Hannah in the past so this was a treat. Her writing flows so well, from the first page you are drawn in and there is no hope of escape. This book is on my “To Re-read” shelf (one day). There are only a handful that makes it to that coveted spot.
