Happy summer - savoring every moment and thrilled there's officially two months more.
One True Loves is my fifth read by Taylor Jenkins Reid (The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Daisy Jones and the Six, Maybe in Another Life, Evidence of the Affair). In One, Emma has lost the love of her life, improbable high school sweetheart, presumed dead when his helicopter goes missing over the Pacific. She tries to move on, redefining her vision for the future in work and love when her husband calls. What will she choose - the perfect past or promising future? I appreciate how each of Reid's books are truly unique and though somewhat predictable this was a light summer read.The Mountain and the Sea by Kwame Dawes is a novella about Esther, a Jamaican woman grieving her husband and preparing for a hurricane, who discovers a naked man with amnesia in the road. Something stirs her to care for him as she prepares for the storm. A sweet story of rediscovering yourself when you list expect it and there are zero expectations.
The Paris Apartment is my third read by Lucy Foley (The Guest List, The Hunting Party) and I am hooked! Jess is escaping the UK to visit her journalist brother, Ben, in Paris. Jess arrives to find the apartment empty and Ben nowhere in sight. She tries to piece things together by talking to each of the apartment building's tenants. But each seems to have their own agenda and something is definitely off. Who are they and what do they know? Foley expertly weaves backstories with "current" events to create suspense and drama. Can't wait for her next one!
