This book was amazing and I absolutely loved it. I loved it so much in fact, that I actually had some hilarious thoughts that I thought would be fun for you all to read. Some of my thoughts and reactions to 99 Days:

Who tf even eggs houses anymore?

Wait, is this for real? Her mom did that? 

Julia, what's your damage? 

Imogene, could you just hear her out please. 

GABE WAIT WHOA.

Ugh yes, this is the scandal I'm talking about. 

Well... that's awk...

LOL she's working with her ex's new girlfriend. 

The feels... just... the feels...

SHE IS RUNNING AGAIN. Something's going to happen on this trail. 

Nothing happened on that trail... but it was totally set up perfectly...

BUT HE SAID HE'S ON YOUR TEAM MOLLY

Patrick why are you playing with my emotions? 

JESUS PATRICK.

I no longer know if I'm #TeamPatrick or #TeamGabe

Nope. Definitely #TeamPatrick. 

Wait... but Gabe... he's so sweet. 

#TeamGabe it is.

Nope. Nope. Back to #TeamPatrick. 

#TeamPatrick all the way. 

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING AGAIN. 

Molly... girl why...

What... the book is over? 

That's it...

Best. book. of the summer. 

While I'm not giving away the juicy details of this book, I will say that on the surface it's a messy love triangle that dabbles in discussing double standards and the growth of a young girl. It was supremely addictive and I couldn't put this book down once I started it. I'm a sucker for flawed characters and summer love, so this book was basically everything I look for in a summer read. 

Have you read 99 Days? What did you think?

Book review: Lilly

First impressions: 

Before reading this book, I expected to read a book all about Lilly Pulitzer, her growing up, and her raise to fashion fame. With dashes of the glitz and glam of Palm Beach added, I thought it would be a light and easy read that also discussed her background and the elements she grew up in. 

While reading: 

I must say that this book was a bit of a tough read for me. Not in content, but in information. It was almost like information overload if I'm being honest. It was heavy in background information, and while that was to be expected, it was not at all the kind of background info I thought I would be reading. It was mostly background on the people in Lilly's life, and it just led a tangled confusing web of people to follow who hardly pertained to Lilly herself. I also thought there was a lot of fluff added to the book. Some things about distant friends and relatives seemed a bit repetitive and it was enough for me to put the book down several times.

Thoughts: 

While this book was dry, it definitely had it's moments of intrigue. The best moments were the chapters solely about Lilly (basically just chapter 7 thought...) or the ones that described her fabulous Palm Beach home. While this book wasn't thrilling or interesting 24/7, it definitely had some great insight into what made Lilly the quirky designer she was, as well as how she sparked her famous brand. If you're a die-hard Lilly fan, this book is for you.
