📖 A Piece of Cake
Author: Cupcake Brown
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Why I Recommend It:
If you asked me to name the book that broke me, it would have to be A Piece of Cake. The first memoir I read many years ago, and even to this day is one of my all time favorite books. I’ve probably read this a dozen times, and each time it finds a way to make me feel new emotions. Heartache, hope, sadness, and laughter. An emotional rollercoaster that will make you lose track of time, buy too many tissue boxes and keep flipping pages. This book is not for the weak. There is also an audio version (which I listened to and cried like a baby in the car) that is voiced by Cupcake herself.
Perfect For Readers Who Enjoy:
- True stories
- Personal and emotional growth
- Inspiring reads
- Overcoming adversities

📖 A Walk to Remember
Author: Nicholas Sparks
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Why I Recommend It:
If you’ve read or saw at least one Nicholas Sparks book or movie, you know that you will be hit with all the feels. This book is by far my favorite in both book and movie form. I cried. Hard. And then read it again. If you know Nicholas Sparks, you know that he is the master of tragic love stories, and every book is highly addictive. I recommend this book because it evokes real emotion. Especially after finding out that it is inspired by Sparks’ sister. It’s real, raw, relatable. Pure. The story building, character growth is just perfection. A Walk to Remember will always be on my top ten list.
Perfect For Readers Who Enjoy:
- Romance

📖 The Things We Leave Unfinished
Author: Rebecca Yarros
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Why I Recommend It:
Most people think of Fourth Wing when they think of Rebecca Yarros, and while I agree that the Fourth Wing series is amazing, there is something about this book that just hits different. The book goes back and forth, telling two stories at once. One takes place during WWII while the other takes place now. The contrast was beautifully written. And the ending was not what I expected. And a part of the reason I fell in love with this book. A story, an untold story, and a story that ends before it could be finished. That’s what I got from this book. I didn’t know I needed that.
