Sometimes It Happens by Lauren Barnholdt
Pub. Date: July 12, 2011
Goodreads says, "On the last day of her junior year, Hannah's boyfriend Ryan dumped her. Facing a summer of loneliness, Hannah turns to her best friend Ava for comfort. Ava does what BFFs do: she stays by Hannah's side...until it's time for Ava to head up to Maine for the summer. Also left behind is Ava's boyfriend, Noah, who's such a great guy he gets Hannah a job at the diner he waits tables at. Slowly, Hannah comes out of her funk thanks to Noah's good conversation and their fun times at the diner. But things get complicated when their friendship turns into attraction--and one night, into a passionate kiss. The novel opens on the first day of senior year; the day Hannah is going to see Ava, Ryan, and Noah all in one place. Over the course of the day secrets and betrayals are revealed, and alliances are broken and reformed. In the end, everyone is paired up once again, but not the way you might think... "
*I think this book sounds like a fun summer read. I've never read any of Barnholdt's other books, but I've heard good things. Hopefully when I read this, I'll be on the beach in the sun!
Yes, I agree a great summer read. Love the cover.
ReplyDeleteI agree this sounds like a good summer read. I've never read anything by Lauren Barnholdt before either so that's another reason to put it on my list :)

ReplyDeleteHow to Knit a Heart Back Home
ReplyDeleteBy Rachael Herron
Publication date: March 1, 2011
Lucy Harrison sells books by day and volunteers with the Cypress Hollow fire department by night. Her life is just the way she likes it—full, even-keeled, and smooth—until bad-boy ex-cop Owen Bancroft comes back to town. Lucy has always been fearless, never scared about diving in to help others. When it comes to risking her heart, however, she realizes she's absolutely terrified.
In a small town like Cypress Hollow, everyone knows your business—and there is nowhere to hide. Then Lucy and Owen are thrown together by the discovery of the lost work of local legend, knitting guru Eliza Carpenter. Now Owen, adrift and struggling to redefine himself as a civilian without a badge, will have to learn how to open himself up to life's new possibilities . . . while Lucy decides just how much of herself she's willing to gamble on love.
A fabulous pick! It looks really good. Merry Christamas and Happy Reading :)
