Everything leads to you has been on my list SO LONG and I even checked it out of the library a few times but never got to it. 4.5 stars is pretty high so I’ll have to read it soon!

I have a few books I keep doing that to! Yeah, I actually enjoyed this one way more than I thought I would. I loved all the movie making aspects, and I just found myself addictive to the story. I read it in like a day!

Nice wrap up, Anna! Off the Record sounds interesting and I’ve been wanting to read one of Beth O’ Leary’s books for awhile now. I read six books this month, I really liked all of them except one, and I rated two books five stars (Why we Swim and How Much of These Hills Is Gold). Happy July reading ☺️
