Michele G: I’d recommend. One was One Italian Summer by Rebecca Serle (she wrote In Five Years for those of you who read that) and the other was The Unsinkable Greta James by Jennifer E. Smith. I liked them both quite a bit. It might be where I’m at personally or maybe not.
Both books deal with a daughter who has lost her mother. Since my mom passed away in 2020, I was a little afraid of them…especially since I was reading a lot in the airport. But they both left me with a good feeling. Very well written.

A big huge YES for Jewel E. Ann’s latest – If This Is Love. It is most definitely angsty, moreso than some of her latest releases. Although, maybe I take that back thinking about her prior book, Before Us. Well never no mind. It was truly fantastic. I’m not a cowboy romance person, but that doesn’t matter, as this just happens to be set on a “farm” with a cowboy character.
YAY!!! Thank you Lisa! I just included your feedback. 😉
I have a recommendation if you just want something lighthearted and fun, definitely not deep or thought provoking, but sometimes that’s just what we need. It’s called The Siren Island series by Tricia O’Malley. Reading this series has been like chewing the most sugar filled bubblegum lol. They are summery and sweet and a little bit magical. I’m having a great time.
Thanks for these book recommendations! I’m going on vacation soon and I’m looking for some reads – thanks also for including audiobook recos!!!
