Pretty Face by Mary Hogan
This is a Teen coming-of-age story.
Hayley lives in Santa Monica and has to deal
with the shallow culture of constant dieting and plastic surgeries.
Her mother is far from an ally, going so far
as getting Haley a talking scale. (Do those truly exist? )
Luckily, her parents offer her the
opportunity of a lifetime to spend the summer, about 10 weeks, in Italy.
She’s reluctant at first—nursing a broken
heart & not wanting to leave her best friend—but she goes and has pretty
much the time of her life.
As a reader,
I had vacation envy.
Italy is on my list
of future destinations.
I loved the author’s
vivid descriptions of the museums, churches, and overall atmosphere.
I enjoyed taking this journey with Hayley.

Done With Love by Niecey Roy
Alexis always dreamed of a fairytale romance complete with a
prince charming.
When her shattered
dreams end up making her a runaway bride & the object of her almost
mother-in-law’s revenge, she has to figure out what she can do to fix the mess
that has become her life.
And of course,
to make matters more complicated, her first-love Leo comes back into her life
stirring up some old feelings.
But can
she trust that Leo will not break her heart again? Because if she can’t trust,
then her fairytale ending is even more out of her grasp.
There are some unexpected twists and turns
and awkward laughs along the way. Very entertaining read.

What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty
How different would life have changed if you suddenly woke
up from a head injury & discovered you have no memory of the last 10 years
of your life? Alice is faced with these questions when she hits her head in an
exercise accident & discovers that she’s in the middle of a pending
divorce. And to make matters worse, she has three children she doesn’t even
remember giving birth to.
Her last
memories are of finding out she’s pregnant with her first baby & involved
in a satisfying relationship with her husband.
What the heck happened?
She has
to slowly figure out what has become of her life & either accept it or make
some changes.
This story makes you think
about day-to-day life & the choices we all make in our relationships.
Because sometimes life is hard, and the
choices we make have consequences. This is a great read & I highly
recommend it.
