The Wonder of Lost Causes by Nick Trout

Dr. Kate Blunt's son Jasper has an incurable lung disease (cystic fibrosis). An older abandoned dog named Whistler comes into the animal shelter and forms an instant connection to Jasper. Was it fate that Jasper and Whistler came into each other's lives? What happens to Whistler? Does someone adopt him or does he get put to sleep?

I don't want to say much more about this beautifully written read, so I don't give anything away. I hope you'll go out and pick up a copy.

Thank you William Morrow for the review copy.

SYNOPSIS

Harper Rodrigues’ five-year plan was on track. She’d worked hard to secure her graduate marketing job, her boyfriend Adam was set to propose any day, and she was learning to process the death of her sister. She’d been through some dark times, but there was light at the end of the tunnel.

At least, that’s how it had seemed until the day she was fired in the morning and dumped by nightfall. 

Now, with her life plans in ruins, Harper turns to her best friends who are going on the trip of a lifetime – five-months traveling across Asia and Oceania. Determined to see the silver lining in her unraveled plans, she decides to book a plane ticket to join them and resurrect her dreams of becoming a travel photographer.

But Harper’s travels aren’t all sunshine and cocktails. With Adam begging for her forgiveness and proposing on the eve of her departure, Harper knows she must be on her best behavior. But when she meets Xavier, an enigmatic poet on the beaches of Goa, that may just be easier said than done.

Runaways is the empowering and racy tale of one woman’s voyage of self-discovery. A must-read for fans of travelogues and romance alike.

ABOUT RACHEL SAWDEN

Writer, traveler, content creator, master of random jobs, avoider of the 9-5. In 2010, Rachel Sawden set off on a trip around the world hoping to be given a sign of what to do with her life. That sign never appeared. It turned out the entire trip was the sign. When she returned to her home in Bermuda, she began to write about the countries she traveled to because she was still obsessed with them and had run out of people to listen to her drone on about her trip. She turned a life-long personal challenge of ‘write a book’ into Runaways, her debut novel. She has continued to travel, take photos, and write ever since.

Reviews for a few books

Hello everyone!

Sorry I haven't posted my reviews here, I've been posting them on IG, Goodreads and Twitter lately.

No Exit by Taylor Adams (Thank you William Morrow for my review copy)
I loved it and it had me on the edge of my seat. I don't want to give anything away so go out and get a copy of No Exit! You will love it!

The Sisters Hemmingway by Annie England Noblin (Thank you William Morrow for my review copy)

You follow three sisters
•Hadley, the wife of a senator
•Pfeiffer, a New York book editor
•Martha, a Nashville star

They go back to their childhood home in Cold River for the funeral of their aunt who raised them (their mom and younger sister died during a tornado). Each sister has been keeping a secret from the others. I hope you'll enjoy The Sisters Hemingway as much as I did.

Call Me Evie by J.P. Pomare (Thank you Putnam Books for my review copy)

Evie (not her real name) and her Uncle Jim (not really her uncle)are in an isolated cabin. Some of Eveie's memories are returning but Jim wants to protect her from that night... What really happened to Thom (Evie's boyfriend)? What are uncle Jim's real intentions? I hope you'll pick up Call Me Evie and let me know your thoughts.

Review: The Secretary by Renee Knight

The Secretary was just okay for me. I found it to be kind of boring until the end where things finally picked up. I'd have to say that the end was my favorite when the secretary Christine turns the tables on her former boss Mina.

Thank you Harper for the review copy.

Review: The Girls At 17 Swann Street by Yara Zgheib

I highly recommend The Girls at 17 Swann Street! I finished it a few days ago and I still have a serious book hangover. 

You will follow Anna's story and her struggles with anorexia. You will also read about the other girls that live at 17 Swann Street and how they come together and support each other in their own way.

It's raw, emotional, gut wrenching, and beautifully written! Parts of it made me angry. laugh and cry.

Thank you to St. Martin's Press for the review copy!

Review: The Dead Ex by Jane Corry

The Dead Ex was a good book.

There is a missing ex husband (David), an accused ex wife (Vicki). The missing ex husband's new/current wife (Tanya) reports him missing and ends up murdered.

An inmate (Zelda) and her daughter (Scarlet/Helen) are looking for revenge on a former prison governor for "having it out" for Zelda.

There are also some extra marital affairs and plenty of twists you won't see coming.
