Welcome to day 20 of blogmas, How I have done a blog everyday so far I am shocked with myself
The Ice Cream Girls is about two girls Poppy and Serena, who knew each other as teenagers during their affair with their married teacher Marcus, who is murdered. Poppy went to jail while Serena lived her life, got married and had children. After she is released Poppy tries to get Serena to confess that she killed Marcus and Poppy believes she didn’t.
I know I did a whole post on this Books a few days ago, but the book really hit home just how important it is to show that relationships between teachers and students don’t work, how the justice system can be flawed, race can be used against people.
- Goodnight, Beautiful

This book shows struggles with mental health, infertility and so much more. It raises questions that no one would want to answer but think about. It shows just how far many people will go to for those that they love
- The Pact

What I like about the book was that these families have gone through so much together yet when something bad happens to them both the slip away, even though the thing was way out of their hands
- Just One Day
When sheltered American good girl Allyson "LuLu" Healey first meets laid-back Dutch actor Willem De Ruiter at an underground performance of Twelfth Night in England, there’s an undeniable spark. After just one day together, that spark bursts into a flame, or so it seems to Allyson, until the following morning, when she wakes up after a whirlwind day in Paris to discover that Willem has left. Over the next year, Allyson embarks on a journey to come to terms with the narrow confines of her life, and through Shakespeare, travel, and a quest for her almost-true-love, to break free of those confines.
I loved this book, even the second time around reading it. I love it more then book 2.
- Cinder

Like many people I was exited to see a different retelling of Cinderella. And I wasn’t disappointed. I loved the book. I thought it was fantastic.
- Safe Haven
Erin is a woman who is married to an abusive alcoholic who happens to be a police officer. One day she leaves and ends up in a small North Carolina town where she meets Alex and his two children. Over the course of the book she falls in love with Alex.
I freaking love the book. With most love stories it’s hard to get into for me. I know what’s going to happen. But with this one even though I knew what was going to happen I still loved it.
