Three books you should be reading...

1. The Help by Kathryn Stockett
22 year old Skeeter could care less about a ring on her finger or having children, but wants to make it big as a writer. In her quest to find something inspirational to write about, she begins interviewing different maids around town (Mississippi- 1960's) to get a viewpoint of the help. Intriquing, funny, witty, heartwarming, and a tad sad, this book has it all to keep your attention.
I finished this book in five days. Easily on my top 5 books I have ever read. Once you get used to the dialect you are smooth sailing through the rest of the book.

2. Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks

A girl escapes her life in Boston and ends up on a waterfront broken down house, making her way as a waitress, when she meets a man who helps her forget about her reality and jump into a new life. Soon the two figure out much about each other, including his two children. However, she can never truly escape her past and it eventually catches up with her. Suspenseful, beautiful, moving, and magical this book will keep you on your toes to see how the main characters handle the realities of life and attempt to escape their doomed fate.
Unlike many of the Sparks books, this one is much more realistic. I actually cried (embarrassing) on the last chapter because he draws you in so you truly feel like a character in the book. Well written and honest, this book is a quick, but satisfying read.

3.Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella 
Lara has a floundering start up business and is barely keeping herself together with all the stress in her life. She begins to think she is going really crazy when she believes she is seeing her great Aunt Sadie as a ghost. Soon enough Sadie has Lara doing all sorts of crazy things-- things that soon help Lara learn what means the most to her and what is going to truly make her happy. Lovely, witty, hilarious, and light this novel is great to dive into. Extremely relateable, the reader may even be able to learn a few lessons from Lara and Sadie herself. 
This author wrote Confessions of a Shopaholic and is well known for her attractive writing style, witty prose, and hidden lessons. You won't want to stop experiencing along with these characters!
