My July epic adventure
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This historical fiction novel by Kristin Hannah transports the reader back in time to the Vietnam War, and follows the epic adventure of combat nurse, Frankie McGrath. Frankie faces life-altering challenges both in Vietnam, and upon returning home after the war as she tries to put her life back together. Loved this book and highly recommend it for adults!

My birthday month is July, so I decided on Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez. Ending my summer with this New York Times best-selling romantic comedy described as having "fierce humor and fierce heart." Looking forward to enjoying this beach read on the Cape!
