Buckingham and Shepard have created some colorful characters that remind me a lot of the real-life (or were they?) shenanigans on Laguna Beach.
Influence by Sara Shepard and Lilia Buckingham, 3.5 Stars
The Last to See Her by Courtney Evan Tate, 3.5 Stars

The Second Home is the perfect book to pick-up for your non-existent vacation this summer. So pull up a lawn chair by the baby pool in your backyard, pour yourself some ice tea and escape to Cape Cod!
The Other People, CJ Tudor, 4 Stars
There's a type of dreamy, mysterious aura in a CJ Tudor book. It's a great feeling to wrap yourself in like a warm blanket as you read her books.

Fishnet by Kirsten Innes, 3.5 stars
I love the premise for this book and I think it's definitely a strong debut from Kirstin Innes.
