So I hear you about needing a light, refreshing title after a heavy one. I do that a lot, and sometimes go even "fluffier" than you, reading mystery cozies or women's fiction.<br /><br />I have this title on my kindle now and I really should read it before summer's over.

I don't know if it was he book I had or if she always writes the same way but at only three pages in it scream shallow to me and I just could not read another word. I love a good summer read and all of her books have these wonderful covers and story lines but I can't get past the shallowness.
