This Song Will Save Your Life by Leila Sales

I LOVED this book! New favorite book of the year. I loved the character, the plot, the story, everything!!!! I felt this book really speaks to anyone who has ever felt nervous about going to school, scared about who they are going to eat lunch with, afraid to walk down the hallways. One of the best books i've ever read. I finished this book in 3 days, just could not put on down.

Amazon Summary

Told in a refreshingly genuine and laugh-out-loud funny voice, Leila Sales' THIS SONG WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE is an exuberant novel about identity, friendship, and the power of music to bring people together.

Three Wishes by Liane Moriarty

I loved this book. I am becoming a BIG fan of Liane Moriarty and this book did not disappoint. I think I was so drawn to this book because of the three sisters. While I am not a triplet I also have two sisters who are my best friends and found the story quirky and fun. Highly recommend to all! Those Kettle Girls!!!!!

In this wise, witty, and hilarious novel, we follow the Kettle sisters through their tumultuous thirty-third year as they deal with sibling rivalry and secrets, revelations and relationships, unfaithful husbands and unthinkable decisions, and the fabulous, frustrating life of forever being part of a trio.
