They hung a ball, when it was safe for skating. I grabbed Bittersweet after reading Ockler's last release, Summer of Chasing Mermaids. I really enjoy her books, and have been working my way through her backlist.

Nothing like reading about snow to cool you down. I read Bittersweet a few years ago and quite liked it so will be checking a few of these out, and soon before it heats up!Diva Booknerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808412083567644984noreply@blogger.com
