BOOK REVIEW: God on a Harley by Joan Brady

God on a Harley by Joan Brady

I was given this book for my birthday from my Mom. A friend of hers that lives down in Texas recommend it. She advised that when she got divorced this book really helped her. While I've been divorced for almost 10 years and don't really need help in that area anymore... I do have to admit that I think this book would help ANYONE in ANY situation.

We learn the main character is Christine and she's suffered a horrible heartbreak in the first few pages of the book. The heartbreak was not fresh but as we come to find out (and she runs into the heartthrob) it's a lot fresher than she thought and hoped. This book takes you through Christine's relationship with God and how she comes to find herself again. How she's able to take back her life and build a new relationship with herself and God.  At one point in the book she has an angry conversation with God and asks him many questions on why the world is the way it is. These are questions I often find myself asking and it made the conversation she has with him very real in my eyes.

I'm not a super religious person so for those of you who are not as well don't be scared off by the title or the fact that Christine is renewing her relationship with God. There's other things that you can take from this book that you could use in your own life if you're struggling to find where you fit in and what's working and not working. This is a fairly quick read, I got through it in one afternoon. Check it out. I don't think you'll be sorry.
 

BOOK REVIEW: How One Attempts to Chase Gravity by Nicole Campbell

How One Attempts to Chase Gravity by Nicole Campbell

This is book two of a three part series (three part yes but 4 books total) and its the end of the love story between the main characters you've come to know and love from books one and one and half talked about here and here.  This whole story of Courtney and Ethan is so relatable. Anyone whose every been in love will be able to relate to the heartbreak, the tears, the happiness, and every other emotion you have when you're in love. This particular book made my heart swoon. I won't give away why but lets just say I said "awwwwww" really loud at home by myself and was forced to explain to my three dogs (who were now looking at me like I was crazy) what was going on in the book. They approved of course and agreed right along with me on the "awwwwww." I know you won't regret reading this series. I almost wish that these characters were real people and I could meet them. What a fascinating thought. Anyways, READ these books. You won't be sorry.
 

BOOK REVIEW: What Comes of Breaking Promises and Guitar Strings by Nicole Campbell

Breaking Promises and Guitar String by Nicole Campbell

 

 

This is book one and a half of this three book series (actually 4) and its written from Ethan's side. This mirrors the first book in the series which I talk about here.  Instead of hearing what's only going on with Courtney's side of things, you hear about what going with Ethan and what he's been dealing with. It's pretty amazing I have to say to read a book from one point of view and then basically read the same book but from a different angle is pretty amazing. I really felt like I was just one of the gang in the first book but now knowing what was going on in both the main characters lives and heads apart from each other, puts a whole new spin on things. If you read the first one you HAVE to read the rest! You won't be sorry!

 

BOOK REVIEW: What Comes of Eating Doughnuts with a Boy Who Plays Guitar by Nicole Campbell

What Comes of Eating Doughnuts with a Boy Who Plays Guitar by Nicole Campbell

I got this book as part of a subscription service called Literary Vacation Club. It was my first "box" from them and I was very excited to read the book they chose.

This book was amazing. So amazing I went on Amazon after I finished it in two sittings and ordered Nicole Campbell's other three books that go with this one. The story is about a young girl named Courtney and her first love. The story is written in a way where you kind of feel like you're one of the gang. Courtney and her best friend Vanessa are so relateable and who doesn't love a good story about your first love. The book made me blush, cry, laugh, and pull out my 'ol yearbook to look back on my first love.

This is quick read and will definitely get your feels going. I recommend to anyone.
