Honestly, all the books were good. It will be all about what you're in the mood for. A girl power friendship story - Dumplin'. An interesting and heartwarming family drama - Tiffany Sly. A fun period piece - Suitors.

Tiffany Sly Lives Here Now is a new on to me and it sounds really good, I definitely want to read that. It looks like it's a really good book and your review has me convinced I'll enjoy it. And Suitors and Sabotage may have had too much sabotage but I don't even care, I know that'll be one I like. I just can tell from the summary.

It's always nice to see characters learn from their mistakes. I want to read Suitors and Sabotage based on the title alone, but that's too bad that the sabotage outweighed the romance. Great reviews!
