Charmed at First Sight by Sharla Lovelace is a story of not losing who you are in the mist of longing to be loved. It's a fun, fast-paced read that doesn't take itself too seriously.

I would recommend Eleanor Oliphant (And yes, autocorrect, I mean OLIPHANT. Not ELEPHANT. Leave me alone. I know what I'm doing!) to my friends who enjoy a slower-paced plot sprinkled with off-beat humor.

The Ones Who Got Away series is a contemporary romance about the survivors of a school shooting ten years later. The shooting is a small part of these stories. The stories focus on four women refusing to let one night of tragedy define them.
The One You Can't Forget is about figuring out who you are and realizing that it's okay if that's not who everyone else thinks you should be. It's also okay to change your path if you realize where you thought you wanted to go isn't where your heart is.

I love Jody Hedlund’s books because the writing is amazing. She takes these tiny moments in history and turns them into these epic stories. You know that feeling when you're reading, and suddenly the words aren't there anymore, it's just this movie playing in your head? That's what her books are like.

When Eleanor receives startling news about someone from her previous criminal life, plans for a new operation coinciding with her school’s upcoming field trip quickly consume her.
