Beach Read Run Down

Ever have a day where you feel like you can’t catch a break?  Perhaps a little escapist reading will do the trick!  Fourth of July weekend is upon us, and you need some good reading for the lake / beach!  This summer’s best beach reads:

Love the One You’re With, Emily Giffin

0312348673_01_LZZZZZZZLittle sad for our tastes, but it is set in the ATL which makes for a fun change.  Similar to her other books – very relateable characters, little weak on plot – all and all, it’s fun to read.  Final word – borrow, don’t buy.

 Misery Loves Cabernet, Kim Gruenenfelder

n307546Not since the First and Second Assistant have we fallen so in love with a crazy heroine!  MLC is the story of Charlie and her friends and family navigating the crazy LA dating world.  Suuuuper witty and clever.  Fun read!  Can’t wait to read her first one…Total Waste of Makeup.

 Secrets of a Show Addict, Beth Harbison

Secrets_of_a_Shoe_Addict-120706821784114Have not read this one, but can’t wait too!  Second novel from the author, it’s the story of four ladies bought together not by shoes, but by their debt.  Reviews call it fast-paced and fun!
