July produces some hot reads

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

This was my book of choice as I lounged with Bobette in ZIH. I could not put it down – not to chat, not to walk on the beach, not to (heaven forbid) have a Mohito! What could she do but join me and get lost in the story as well? A great book about a marriage on the rocks that leads to murder. Or does it?? ♥♥♥

Let’s Pretend this Never Happened by Jenny Lawson

Lawson’s “mostly true memoir,” is hip, fun to read and full of her views on sex, drugs, and relationships. I came away from the experience realizing that the most mortifying moments of our lives—the ones we’d like to pretend never happened—are usually the ones that define us. ♥♥♥

A Secret Kept by Tatiana de Rosnay

Antoine Rey and his sister Mélanie revisit the beach where they spent many happy childhood summers. But the trip only reminds them of the last island summer when their Mother died, and awakens some not so savory family secrets.

The Girl Who Fell From the Sky by Heidi W. Durrow

Rachel is the only survivor of a family tragedy so she is forced to move in with her strict African American grandmother. A great book about social justice and being biracial.♥♥
