Loved this, Michelle! Just requested a few books from my library and was excited to see Michelle Huneven has a new book out. I loved Search!

I just finished One Golden Summer and absolutely loved it. Carley has this incredible way of transporting you to the lake, and you’ll never want to leave. Just added Wild Dark Shore to my TBR!

I know, she is SO GOOD at it! I just wanted to keep reading more from her after I finished (perhaps some rereads are in my future...)

What a great reading month! I also loved Wild Dark Shore, especially the setting. I'll need to add It's a Love Story to my tbr now.

I always enjoy so much your monthly wraps, Michelle! I should do something similar because it would be a lovely gratitude exercise for me and a nice thing to look back at.

Oh, Among Friends sounds like the perfect summer getaway read. Saved! And One Golden Summer is on hold at the library — excited to dive in.

I loved One Golden Summer! For sure my favorite from Carley. I can’t wait to read It’s A Love Story to see if I’ll like it!

Same! I have to talk myself into it sometimes but it's always worth it.

A little bit of it might be the photographer in me, but I absolutely loved One Golden Summer! Also, are those rice crispy treats with chia seeds? Yum, tell me more!

Yes! I 100% agree. Alice’s character totally gave me some creative inspiration as I was reading! And they are Rice Krispies with Black Sesame Seeds from NYT. They were easy to make and really delicious! https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1024985-black-sesame-rice-krispies-treats?unlocked_article_code=1.OE8.Wqj4.2mVYCWFizsbg&smid=share-url
