A Good Day for Chardonnay
Sunshine Vicram is back! I have been so ready for A Good Day for Chardonnay, ever since I read A Bad Day for Sunshine (see my REVIEW HERE) last summer. I loved the characters, the witty banter, and the overall mystery that was tied into the first book, and book 2 did not disappoint. Sheriff…
Malibu Rising
I adore Taylor Jenkin Reid’s book The Seven Husband’s of Evelyn Hugo. It’s one of my all time favorite and most recommended reads. When Daisy Jones and the Six came out in 2019, I jumped to get my hands on a copy, and while it was a fun read it was never a favorite of…
People We Meet on Vacation
Last year Emily Henry’s release adult targeted book, Beach Read, was a favorite summer read for me and you can see my review for it HERE. Written in a similar style People We Meet on Vacation is more optimistic than it’s predecessor Beach Read which while it was a contemporary romance, it dived into some…
What Comes After
Firstly, this is categories as a Mystery/Thriller, and I just want to clarify that while at it’s core this is a murder mystery, it’s more the motive behind the murder than a whodunnit. I also would never categorize this book as a Thriller. Going into this book with expectations of a fast paced, thriller will…
All Girls
Raise you’re hand if you went to an all girls school for high school! I did and honestly I think it really influenced my rating on this story. At it’s core All Girls is a coming of age story that takes place at a prestigious all girls boarding school. Set in 2015 but highly influenced…

Told from multiple POVs, Maria the mother, Sonja the older sister, Edgar the younger brother, and Tsala a Cherokee prophet; this is a story of grief and how it has shaped and…
The Fortunate Ones
The Fortunate Ones is not a book I would typically pick up, but Algonquin Books sent me a copy and I’m so glad they did. This is a fabulous book. This is the coming of age story of Charlie Boykin. Born to a teenage mom , he lives with his mom and aunt in poorer…
When No One is Watching
Thoughts I’m very conflicted on rating and reviewing this book. I really enjoyed the story of Sydney and adding Theo into the mix really gave the book some depth & different perspectives. BUTTT, I just don’t think this is a thriller, and I think you do a disservice to the book when you go in…
The Last Story of Mina Lee

When Margot shows up to surprise her mother, she finds her mother dead. While cause of death is ruled an accident, Margot is determined to…
