Not If I See You First by Eric Lindstrom was SUCH an unexpectedly good book. I mean, okay I do not go into books expecting to hate them. If I think I am going to dislike a book, I typically choose not to read it. However, sometimes I read books not entirely knowing what to […]
The Last Time We Say Goodbye by Cynthia Hand | Book Review
January 6, 2016
Are you in the market for a gut wrenching read? You need to get a copy of The Last Time We Say Goodbye by Cynthia Hand. Reader friends, this book absolutely gutted me.
