My Reading Getaway

Happy Tuesday! I have a great thriller to share with you courtesy of Rachel’s Random Resources. About the Book: Never underestimate how much people can change... It's been years since Zoe last saw them – since they graduated, drifted apart, and lost touch. Years since Zoe ended things with Dan because the memories were too painful to bear. Years since that night – the night an unexpected death shattered their close-knit group of friends. Now, Zoe is invited to Scotland for a wedding – a grand affair at a manor house on a remote island.

Thank you for stopping by my tour spot for Sea Without a Shore with The Children’s Book Review. I received a free copy of this book in order to share my honest thoughts on this book. About the book: A single piece of seaweed buoys a fascinating ecosystem in this nonfiction picture book from award-winning creators Barb Rosenstock and Katherine Roy.
