Summer Secrets by Jane Green **Warning Spoilers!**

Jane Green and her Chick Lit is my Kryptonite. As my BFF said "Just stop reading her!" I thought of course that's the obvious solution! Sadly though I am addicted to these books and I don't know how to quit them. Every time I finish one of her books I kinda feel like I just had a fling that I know wasn't good for me emotionally, but I did it anyways. This is actually my second JG book this year, I read Saving Grace in March and I'll be honest I didn't like it.

Summer Reading List 2015

I like to only read "summer themed" books during the summer months, so starting June 1st until August 31 I only read off of that list.

I read some pretty bomb books last summer, and I've already picked up my first 3 to start. On my list for this year I have: Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter Open Road Summer by Emery Lord Wicked Charms (Lizzie & Diesel #3) by Janet Evanovich Diamond Head by Cecily Wong Single, Carefree, Mellow by Katherine Heiny Oh! You Pretty Things by Shanna Mahin Eat, Drink, & Remarry: Confessions of a Serial Wife by Margo Howard Yes Please by Amy Poehler The Amateurs by  Davi...
