Malibu Rising
By Taylor Jenkins Reid What can I say? I have grown a true appreciation and love for Ms. Reid’s style of writing. And the fact that she can tie them all together so simply is amazing to me. Remember The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo from Episode 2 of Season 3 of the podcast? Well,…

Then Came You
by Jennifer Weiner So I’m going through a pile of books from my mother-in-law’s book pile that she left behind when she passed away, and this was one of them. She had great taste in some of these beachy, quick, cutesy reads! I loved this book. It also reminded me of a Jodi Picoult-esque novel…
