Your Perfect Year by Charlotte Lucas

5/24/2020

Mary Oliver once asked, "What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"  After reading Your Perfect Year, I found myself asking the same question.  While I originally thought this was going to be a lighter contemporary fiction read, there were several moments that left me thinking about what I'm doing to hold myself back from my "perfect" life.  Am I spending my time doing what I enjoy?  If I could create my perfect calendar, what would I put in it?  Your Perfect Year explores just that with a hint of romance and a roller coaster of emotions.

First Comes Loves by Emily Giffin

I hate to admit it, but this is my first Emily Giffin novel.  I'm sorry to all of her adoring fans, I just have never been a "chick lit," "chick flick" type of girl.  I have watched the movie adaptation of Something Borrowed with Kate Hudson and Ginnifer Goodwin.  I enjoyed it, but it's not one of my top 50 movies I've ever watched.  For that reason, I just haven't tried any of Giffin's #1 New York Time's best selling novels.  Please accept my ardent apology for never giving her the time of day before; I have learned my lesson.  First Comes Love was a lovely little novel that I just adored.  It was light, funny, and had just the right amount of cutesy love that I can handle.
