  5. I forgot The Haven comes out this week. Hung Up looks really cute.
    I read Deceiving Lies (Forgiving Lies #2) as an arc. I was worried that Molly was going to push the story over the edge, but things turned out alright.

    1. Oh good I'm glad you liked it!! I'm still in my "weary of New Adult" phase, so I haven't decided if I want to read that series or not. I also think Hung Up looks adorable. I've read one of that author's other books and it was great, so I'm definitely excited :)
