February Book Review!
I have to start off with a confession. I really meant for this months books to be all about love. The mushy, gushy, easy read kind of love and chick lit. We were in February! Well folks, that did not happen. My first book I have to say was really dark and there was definitely no love story. But it was written so well, that I said, "To hell with love, I have got to finish this!" Now that I have that confession off my chest, let's get down to business!
Holy Moly! Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands, by Chris Bohjalian. I just don't know where or how to start! This is my first time to read a book by this guy, so I am not sure if all of his books are this dark, but this book was dark. With that being said, it was so well written I could not put it down. His writing is amazing, but this book will break your heart. It is a story about a teen in crisis and it is a story about the sheer will of human survival. I found myself so emotionally attached to the main character, Emily, that I did not want to put the book down. I actually felt like I was abandoning her if I did! I mean literally you guys! This book was written that well! So if you are looking for a page turner that is deep and really will tug at your heart strings, then this book is for you. If you are looking for light and airy chic lit, do not be fooled by the title. This book is not for you. But my next book is!
Hello, World!
I See London, I See France by Sarah Mlynowski was such a fun book! And boy did I need this after my last choice! I loved it so much I ordered another book by the same author! It was light, airy, and fun! I actually felt as if I was backpacking through Europe! It was written so well I breezed through it in no time and I fell in love with every character in this book! The premise of the book is basically nineteen year old Sydney is backpacking through Europe with her best friend. Things change a little when her best friends ex shows up on the same trip! But that does not stop Sydney and the next four weeks as she makes her way through Europe with one adventure after another! If you are looking for a fun, quick, light read....this is the book for you! I promise you will not want to put it down! You may even find yourself booking a trip to Europe when you are done! Trust me, I tried to, but Trey shot that down! So grab your copy here and sit back and enjoy the ride!
Hello, World!
Speaking of February and the month of love, my last book this month is all about love! One True Loves, by Taylor Jenkins Reid is a true love story and not just your ordinary love story! It is all about love with some twists and turns! Basically the main character's husband dies in a helicopter crash on their one year anniversary. You walk through her grief with her and learn how to love again and would you believe, boom! Her husband re emerges ALIVE in the story! Talk about a twist! Now she is engaged to one man and married to another! What will she do? Well, my friends, you have to get the book to see. I promise you will be so glad you do and you might agree that there is no such thing as one true love. Every person you fall in love with brings you along in life and you grow and sometimes you grow together, but sometimes you grow apart. But you grow! Beautiful story! One I highly suggest!
Hello, World!
That pretty much wraps up February. Not a lot of reading, but what I did read I think you will enjoy! Let me know what you are reading these days! I would love to know!
xo,
