Review: The Trail of Lost Hearts

The Trail of Lost Hearts by Tracey Garvis Graves
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a romance novel but it covers grief in a beautiful and profound way. There’s also a lot of fun geocaching in it. As someone who’s done geocaching before, I thought that adventure part was really fun. I liked both of the characters and I loved the slow burn of how they found their way to each other.

Review: One Moment

One Moment by Becky Hunter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’ve been reading a bunch of romance lately and I loved that this book was first and foremost about a friendship. I also loved the portrayal of the chronic illness in all the small and big ways. I think the dramatic side gets covered often but not the small, daily difficulty of how it might feel to live with one.

If you’re looking for something light that will make you cry and laugh and something romantic but also a little different, this is the book for you.
