Read your books and enjoy a cupcake… at least that

Read your books and enjoy a cupcake… at least that’s the way I like to enjoy some delicious, keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat fiction. This month, I read my first Frieda McFadden book (I know, I know, why has it taken this long?!) Want to Know a Secret is a rerelease of the 2021 self-published novel, and except for the implausibility of the ending (I mean, make it make sense to me, Frieda), I thoroughly enjoy this one.

Next, we have No Matter What, by a new-to-me author, Cara Bastone. This one will pull at your emotions as you root for the couple to work through their new ‘normal’ after suffering a tragic car accident that left them changed forever.

The Storm is by an author you should be familiar with if you’ve been following along for a while. I previously read The Villa and The Inheritance, by author Rachel Hawkins, and the way this book wrapped up… was chef’s kiss.

Finally, we have Once and Again by Rebecca Serle. Centered around the three women of the Novak family, we soon learn that each of the women of the Novak family receives a special ‘ticket’ when they’re born, allowing them to turn back time. They can only use this ticket once, and then it’s gone forever.
