The Women
I listened to this on audiobook. Julia Whelan as a narrator may be my absolute favorite. But onto this story… Kristin Hannah\’s historical fictions are just SO spot on. I learned so much from this book that I never would have. Her mix of real and fiction just makes it so heartbreaking and intense but it definitely helped shine a light on what those who were in Vietnam went through while there and after they returned. Great book.

The Summer of Broken Rules
I got this one off prime reading and have never read anything by this author before but I really enjoyed it! As a girl who grew up with little summer romances while spending weeks away from home, this was very relatable and cute! Add to it the intense game of Assassin (for me, was Mafia!) and a bunch of T Swift references/inspirations… come on! So cute, I loved it.

Every Summer After
I LOVED this one. I feel like I devoured this book. Such a sucker for second chance romances…these characters were so loveable and I was genuinely mad at the main character when you FINALLY find out what she did… but was happy with the ending. I cannot wait to read the sequel about the brother!

The Love Hypothesis
Read this while on vacation at the beach, which is the perfect place to read rom coms. This was one of my first books in academic setting but I did like it. Fake dating troupe is always a fun one for me! Will definitely add more Ali Hazelwood to my summer readings!

Summer in the Scottish Highlands
Cute little summer read! Loved the stress this placed on the importance of books and libraries in cities (especially small towns!) Also loved the message about slowing down and taking care of yourself and your own mental health.

Quicksilver
I enjoyed this story and cannot wait for Brimstone to be released. This seemed like a slower fantasy read for me and didn\’t really pick up the pace until near the end so I didn\’t devour in a couple sittings like normal (which is probably a good thing actually). Great story overall!

Circe
This was a vivid telling of Circe’s story from The Odyssey. I loved the look into the mind of Circe, and the way the author makes you understand even the harmful choices Circe made.

The Testaments
A very well written sequel. Lots of sacrifices for the greater good and complex characters. These should be required reading and even though it seems like a crazy story, when you realize things like this could easily happen, it\’s terrifying…especially as a woman!
