First time reading this author's work and although it was a pleasurable story, it was more like a light summer read to me. The premise is that Veronica found out that she was adopted through a DNA test kit given to her by her sister for Christmas. She suspected as such since her high school years but never spoke of it until now. Her adopted family thought it would be good to visit the countries that she was related to and her father paid for a trip arranged by her sister to Ireland, France Italy and Denmark. There are elements of fantasy throughout which you had to go with, but it was a very predictable story . I will rate it 3 stars, but I think the author could have made the book more interesting by giving more background on the characters and on Veronica's relationship with Jonathan previous to her trip.

After being drawn to the bright, beautiful cover and meeting Annabel Monaghan at a bookstore, Summer Romance was the first of her books I’ve read. I loved this one and now I’m ready to read all the rest! A super cute romance about a divorced single parent, this book is more than just a summer romance!

I loved this book! It’s a great way to showcase the importance of friendship and the dangers of the dreaded “groups of popular jerks.” I don’t like the way it portrays 6th graders a s”cool,” when 6th graders are just like 5th graders, but the boys are more annoying. ;)

This book is incredible! It’s about a girl named Morgan who just wants to get through high school and escape her whole life on the island where she lives. But Morgan has a lot of secrets, including the fact that she’s gay. One night, she is saved from drowning by a strange girl named Keltie, and they start to fall in love. But Keltie has secrets too… this book is really sweet and I’d recommend this book to anyone!

This is a trilogy that comes after the original series Lorien Legacies. It is just as good as the original series, if not better. I would recommend it to anyone.

Cute and quick read, probably for the young adult audience but sweet love story nonetheless! Rich boy meets poor girl and they fall in love but, like all teenage romance, it’s complicated. I enjoyed this and a welcome

In When, Daniel H. Pink explores the hidden science behind timing—not just what we do, but when we do it. He argues that timing is not an art, but a science, and understanding it can dramatically improve our performance, decision-making, and well-being. Drawing on research from psychology, biology, and economics, Pink shows that our daily rhythms follow predictable patterns. Most people move through three phases during the day: 1. Peak – best for analytical work (usually in the morning), 2. Through - a mid-day slump, 3. Recovery – good for creative tasks (late afternoon/evening). He emphasizes that “when” matters just as much as “what” and “how.” For example, taking breaks at the right time can boost focus, and the timing of life events (like starting a new job, getting married, or switching careers) can influence their outcomes. He also explores “temporal landmarks”—special dates or events that give us a fresh start—and how they can be used to motivate change. Whether it's the beginning of a week, a birthday, or even a new year, these moments can reset our mindset and push us forward. In the end, when helps us rethink our schedules, habits, and life decisions through the lens of science-backed timing, so we can make smarter choices not just about what to do, but when to do it.

Loved it! The original premise sounded straightforward, but don't be fooled--there are tons of twists and turns! Can't say much more without spoiling, but if you're looking for a fast-paced, fun read, this is for you!

This is the kind of book that's best as an audio, because the narrator (author J. P. Romney) is funny and entertaining. Even as an English major (and former teacher), it turned out that I apparently knew next to nothing about the history of books, because this book was enormously educational. Highly recommended!

Someone smarter than me may have seen the twist coming, but I didn't.
