Splitting Harriet {Review}

I had some time on my hands today and had just received this book in the mail yesterday. Perfect! I finished it one evening and part of today. It was a quick easy read, not super deep but decent for a novel.

Review of Splitting Harriet by Tamara Leigh 

After finishing Perfecting Katie by Tamara Leigh I was excited to read another of her books. I find her writing enjoyable, easy to read and  at the same time follow. I finished this book in just a few hours of reading. I caught myself laughing out loud in parts as well as feeling emotion right along side "Harri." I think that Tamara writes in an easy going and humorous way which hooked me from the start.

Harriet was a PK that rebelled in her younger years, this is her story of finding forgiveness as well as love. The only thing that bothered me that at times I felt that the book had a little bit of filler material, not necessarily info that needed to be included, but for a novel I understand why it was there. I still really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to a friend looking for a light, quick read.

Thanks to Waterbrookmultnomah.com for allowing me to receive and review this book!

Perfecting Kate {Book Review}

Summer is my favorite season, I love it because there is usually the opportunity to sneak away and sit in the sun with a book every now and then! My two favorite things- Sunshine and a Good Book!

I just finished up Perfecting Kate by Tamara Leigh-Here is my review!

I loved this book, it was a super easy and funny read. I read it in just 2 days. I loved the way that Tamara Leigh writes. I felt a part of the story which is what I look for in a book.

Kate is a girl who is sure she is destined for singled-om forever,then one day Michael walks into her life, a man who is not shy about sharing his ideas of how Kate should change her appearance. I liked how Leigh portrayed Kate and the way that Michael affected her thinking. Not only is their Michael but soon along comes Clive who is completely different than Michael but their are issues to work through with him as well. This leaves Kate with a decision to make. Which one is the man she wants to be with and which man gives her the confidence to be herself?

I loved this book and would definitely recommend it to a friend. It is fresh, funny and an easy read!
