A romantic-mystery with an unexpected twist, When Never Comes by Barbara Davis will keep you engaged until the last page. I love mysteries with character development, and this one does not disappoint. Add it to your summer reading list!
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
Two Stars
This book is so far my least-favorite read this year. I get it…and yet I don’t. Given the shock value it most likely caused when it was published in 1945, I can understand (sort of) why discussing anti-establishment and personal angst in 1960s classrooms would seem relevant at the time. I would like my twenty-one-year-old to read it to get his opinion of what I suspect is a continuing mind-set. But, personally, I’m just checking it off my to-read list…with great relief.
The Awakening of Miss Prim by Natalia Sanmartin Fenollera

If you want to escape to a village where a modern-age Jane Austen would set a story, you will enjoy Natalia Sanmartin Fenollera’s The Awakening of Miss Prim. Here you will find characters with Victorian-era ideals whose match-making interferes with the independent Prudencia Prim. This is a story that will not leave you.
