True Colors
by Kristin Hannah
True Colors (6/13/2011)
I really enjoyed reading this book and was drawn into the story and characters right from the beginning all the way to the end. It is a story of three sisters and their lives and loves. It is an easy book to read and one I wanted to keep picking up. The characters are well developed and I really cared about them and what happened to them. The twists and turns were very interesting. I did not want the book to end. This is what I would call a great summer or beach read.
The Things We Cherished: A Novel
by Pam Jenoff
The Things We Cherished (5/25/2011)
This book interweaves a historical story of an anniversary clock and a contemporary romance. The historical story of who possesses the clock along with when and why is a very compelling and complex tale. It is told very well and all loose ends are tied up by the story's end. The contemporary romance does not add much to the book. The characters are explored only superficially and did not keep me interested or make me care about that part of the story.
