A Broken Kind of Beautiful

Title: A Broken Kind of Beautiful

Author: Katie Ganshert

Publisher: Waterbrook Press

My Review:

A Broken Kind of Beautiful might be the book's title , but I think it can best be summed up as a messy kind of beautiful. The story is rich and deep, the characters are flawed but real, and the plotline flows seamlessly.

One Last Play and But He's My Grumpy Neighbor

Title: One Last Play

Series: Sweet Peach #4

Author: Annah Conwell

Publisher: Independently Published

Genre: RomCom, Contemporary Romance, Sports Romance

My Review:

One Last Play is the final book in the Sweet Peach series. This series follows a group of friends, and while it doesn't necessarily have to be read in order, you will get small spoilers by reading it out of order.

Narrator: Becky Doughty

Publisher: Bravehearts Press

My Review:

Gia and the Blast From the Past is the fourth and final book in the Gustafson Girls series. I highly recommend reading them in order since each book builds upon the one before it, and this is an epic conclusion to the series! Just as in the previous books, Becky Doughty narrates this one as well and I am in awe of how she kept each character's voice unique and consistent throughout the series.
