Unwell Review

This book was definitely one that was hard to read but impossible to put down. The main character was so raw and honest about everything in her life that at times it was so difficult to keep reading but it was also so captivating that I could not stop even if I had tried.

The story is quite a sad one with the hurts and betrayals of an ordinary life adding up to someone who feels like they don't deserve happiness and cannot provide it to their own child. Being a young mother, it truly hit home. This is definitely a must read as I have never heard a voice quite like this before!

Conditional Love

This was exactly the type of book that I love - every quintessential chick lit element that you always hope for in a book was there! It was a true pleasure to read about Sophie and her exploits and not only because I love everything English but that was definitely a huge plus for me. I started this book and truly did not want to put it down as I fell in love with the characters immediately. I dare even say it was like falling in love with chick lit all over again. And I love the book cover so much as it is a picture I would frame and put on my wall without hesitation. I cannot wait for her next title to come out and am definitely going to add both to my favorites collection.

When Girlfriends Take Chances

I have been a fan of Savannah's writing since I read When Girlfriends Chase Dreams last year, so I was super excited to read this latest installment. I have to say that I definitely wasn't disappointed and basically gobbled this book up as it was so addictive. For anyone who wants a great chick lit read, the story of Emily is definitely one you will want to read (and you will want to pick up her other books as well!) The story definitely inspired me to take my own chances.

Becoming Mrs. Walsh

This was a completely charming, immensely readable book that I thoroughly enjoyed. Though I couldn't see why Shoshana was involved with such a self-absorbed and secretive man at the beginning of the book, I couldn't help but fall in love with her and her need to find her very own happily ever after. The characters were well developed and the plot line kept me intrigued and I have to say I wasn't exactly expecting some of the things that happened! Definitely a must read for true chick lit fans.

The Golden Apple Book Review

I loved this book. It was such a feel good story about starting over and finding happiness after a tragic loss. Poppy was everyone's girl who made some difficult and brave choices and ending up pursuing her happiness despite the emotional devastation she had recently suffered. I fell in love with her and her chutzpah. This tale made me incredibly emotional at times and was immensely satisfying in that rare way that a great book is.

Private Air Book Review

This book was a very fascinating read because it really gave me an interesting perspective of how the other half live. Private planes, staff of many, being able to buy everything and anything you want... I really enjoyed getting an insider's look into this world that I would otherwise never have been privy to. The story was very readable and I am very happy that this appears to be the first of many books to come in this series.
