The Brooks Falls webcam is mesmerizing! I already read The God of the Woods - it truly is the perfect summer read - so I’m going to add some of the other August recs to my TBR. Happy weekend!

Hi! It’s me! At least I think I’m the one who sent you feedback about the romance storyline feeing a little far fetched. I have raved about Margot’s Got Money Troubles to anyone and everyone who will listen, and think it’s my favorite book of the summer so far. I admired the nuance Thorpe brought to all of the characters, and I fell in love with every one of them….except maybe the professor and his family. I was totally immersed in the plot as I read it, but I found that when I was describing the details to other people, it seemed a little fantastical when it came from my mouth and not the page. Particularly the storyline with JB, and how they end up starting a consulting business together. I agree that Margot deserves all the happiness, and I was not upset at all when I read it, but I had a strange feeling of “huh, maybe this story wasn’t quite as realistic and believable as I thought it was when I was reading”. I absolutely loved the experience of it, and all of the conversations I’ve gotten to have about it!
