Book Review: Built to Last

First and foremost, thank you NetGalley and Blue Box Press for the advanced reader copy - I was captivated within the first few pages.

This is the third book in the Park Avenue Promise series and is scheduled for release on May 27, 2025. It is a must-read novel that centers around friendship, ambition, and romance in Manhattan.

The story revolves around three strong women who have shared a close-knit bond since childhood. The main character, Harper Ross is hired to renovate the Benover property for her friend's new production company. She initially clashes with Reid, the project's designer, but their professional tensions gradually transform into respect and a deeper connection as they work together on the renovation.

On a personal note, my heart truly went out to Harper, who lacked support and respect from her own family, especially her mother. I've been incredibly fortunate to have a mother who encouraged me to become the best version of myself, and I’ve passed that same belief on to my daughter, teaching her that she can achieve anything she sets her mind to. It was heartbreaking to see Harper without the nurturing and encouragement that every woman deserves. I was truly grateful she had the unwavering support of her friends.

Final thought... I would love to have a friend like Lydia, whose advice is always spot on!!!

5 out of 5 stars; I'm looking forward to reading more from Lexi Blake!

Book Review: Destination Simple: Everyday Rituals for a Slower Life

As I continue to learn more about slow living, I came across the book Destination Simple: Everyday Rituals for a Slower Life by Brooke McAlary—a book so small in size yet packed with powerful insights. It distills slow living into its simplest form, offering practical ways to create a life that feels more intentional and present. The book is structured into three key sections: Rituals – Five foundational habits to anchor your days. Rhythms – Establishing morning and evening routines to create flow. Checking In – Letting go of the myth of perfect balance and embracing "tilting." One concept that really stood out to me was tilting : the idea that life isn’t about maintaining a perfect balance at all times. Instead, it’s about shifting energy where it’s needed most and accepting that some areas of life will naturally take priority over others at different times . McAlary explains it well: Tilting is about being aware...

Book Review: The Story Keeper

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Audio for the opportunity to read and review T he Story Keeper by Kelly Rimmer—and thank you, Kelly, for your gratitude to reviewers; it’s appreciated and felt! Kelly Rimmer has crafted an unforgettable novel that drew me in from the very first chapter. At its heart, the story explores family, identity, and impacts across generations. The story of the past and present are woven seamlessly, with characters’ histories shaping their choices and emotions today. The story also carries a meaningful lesson: some secrets are helpful to release, as it gives others the opportunity to understand. The characters are complex, relatable, and deeply human, each carrying their own burdens and hopes. The relationships—both strained and loving—felt authentic, reminding me how fragile yet enduring family can be. I didn’t expect where the story went, and with how much I read, it’s rare for a book to genuinely surprise me—but this one did. Rimmer’s writing is...

Book Review: The Unwritten Rules of Magic

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the chance to read this unforgettable story. While reading the book, I couldn’t help but wonder if I would have had Emerson’s courage. And Harper Ross, the author of this book, I loved the note to the reader. The Unwritten Rules of Magic is far more than a story about supernatural wishes — it’s a beautifully layered reflection on family, grief, and the way we try to rewrite the painful parts of our lives. What stood out most to me were the themes woven through every chapter: how secrets can shape generations, and how healing often begins when we stop trying to control everything and start accepting what is. The story reveals how our desire to “fix” life can sometimes blur what truly matters and distance us from the people we love most. The author captures the ache of watching a parent fade, the complexity of motherhood, and the courage it takes to forgive — ourselves and others. It’s heartfelt, thoughtful, and filled ...
