How Hard Can It Be? is different from most of the books I review here on Women In Trouble Book Blog. But I read I Don't Know How She Does It years ago and it was intriguing to me to see what Kate is up to these days. So of course, when I saw the... Continue Reading →
All We Ever Wanted by Emily Giffin, 4 Stars
