I'll definitely be giving this one a read as it does sound perfectly summery and a great way to spend a warm day. And I actually have Whatever Life Throws At You on my Kindle and have owned it for 2 or 3 years without reading it seems. I'm glad I have it if your comments are anything to go by. I think I'd brushed it off as a stupid impulse buy I'd never get to now I know I was wrong and need to check it out.Becky Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938602345709426466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-23416649152812066332019-07-10T05:03:38.799-04:002019-07-10T05:03:38.799-04:00I am all about how a book makes me feel, and both ...I am all about how a book makes me feel, and both of these made me exceedingly jubilant.
