April 2021 Book Review


It’s BOOK DAY!!!

First of all, can you believe it’s almost the end of the month?  I feel like we just had our March Book Review (a fabulous batch of books, I might add!).  April has flown by (especially compared to last April…which had 107 days in it…).

My Kindle is on fire right now!  I have so many books lined up to download and read thanks to all of your suggestions.  I love reading all year long, but there’s something about warm weather reading that I just love the most.  Give me a book, a beach, and a drink and I’m one happy girl.

This month, I read four books starting with…

…Say You Still Love Me.

I read Tucker’s The Simple Wild series last year and LOVED all three of them, so I was super pumped to pick up this one.

Eh, it was okay.

I didn’t hate it, but I just didn’t think it was nearly as good as the other books I’ve read by her.  It was predictable, pretty cheesy (and I love cheesy), and kind of boring.  I kept waiting for the story to go somewhere else, but it really didn’t.  It is rated R, so buyer beware, but it wasn’t my fave.  Anyone else feel this way about it?  Anyone else have other Tucker book suggestions for me???  This book is a fictional tale about a young up and coming exec working at her dad’s firm who…rekindles a relationship with her camp boyfriend now security guard at her office building.  It sounds like the making of a Hallmark movie, so I was shocked that it didn’t do anything for me.  It was just okay.

This next book though…

…Running For My Life is one of the best books I’ve read all year and all of you should read it!  I will never forget this story or this man.  I am SO thankful that a reader suggested this memoir because I still haven’t stopped thinking about it.  I don’t want to spoil too much, but the author writes about his life as a young boy in Sudan, kidnapped, on the run and then living in a refuge camp for a decade before being adopted by an American couple and ending up in the Olympics.

Yeah.

It’s amazing.

I read and read and read and thought of my girls who were born into such terrible circumstances, but how God can literally use anyone in any situation.  It’s amazing how people can overcome insurmountable odds and achieve so much in life.  At first, I was nervous that his story would be too much for me to read…too terrible, too dark, too sad…and don’t get me wrong, IT IS, but the way he tells it is so full of hope and optimism that it’s inspiring and not depressing to read.  I’ve had so many great conversations with my kiddos since reading this book and want both of my big kids to read it soon.  It’s just the perfect story about the human spirit, and I absolutely loved it.

Kisses and Croissants was the third book I read this month 🙂 .

I mean…how can a book with that title not be adorable?

It was 🙂 .

I think this might be young adult…I really don’t know nor do I care, I just thought it was super cute, easy to read, made me want to eat a croissant, crank up my French music and think about Paris.  This is a fictional story about a young ballerina who goes to Paris for the summer to be a part of a very prestigious ballet company…and of course, there is love, there are yummy food references, there is so much Francophile delight that it was hard not to just smile the whole time I read it.  This story was very PG, and one I would totally let Kensington read too.  Adorable.

Finally, the fourth book I read this month was…

…The Good Sister.

How does Sally Hepworth do it every time?  Each time, I sit down and open one of her books convinced she can’t hit another homerun…and still, she does.  I devoured this one.  I could not put it down.  One night, I stayed up until almost midnight just to finish it.  This story was incredibly unique and kept me on my toes.  I would be convinced I had the gist of it…when bam…something would happen, information would be revealed, there would be shifts in the character dynamics…everything I thought I knew, I didn’t, and I couldn’t flip the page fast enough to see what would happen next.  I just do not know how she continues to write stories that are so original and consuming.  If you like a thriller, you’ll like this one.  If you like a story about family relationships, you’ll like this one.  It’s a tale of twins…and as the story toggles back and forth between diary entries and present day, you will discover these sisters are not exactly who you think they are.  Read it!!

So, that’s four books on BOOK DAY!

My Kindle already has a ton of your suggestions on it, BUT if you want to suggest even more, I’m all ears!!  Please comment and share!  Don’t you just love reading this time of year?

One last thing, I created this on Pinterest this week…it’s all of my book reviews on one board!  This should make it even easier to find books I’ve reviewed in the past.  You can check it out here:

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      Well, I’ve loved everyone of them! Her first book though. The Secrets of Midwives, is where I first fell in love with her.

  3. Jessica says

    I always love your book day posts! You should check out The Star Crossed Sisters of Tuscany! Soooo good!

  4. Alexis says

    I love all of KA Tucker’s books!! Say You Still Love Me was the first one I read by her and I immediately fell in love with the way she writes. I read The Simple Wild after that and didn’t look back. Ha! Burying Water and the three after that one in the Burying Water series are the best ones she’s written after The Simple Wild, IMO. They’re also some of her highest ranked ones on Goodreads. Try Burying Water next – it has suspense and romance and I know you’ll love it!

    The new Abby Jimenez one (Life’s too Short) is also one of my top books of the year so far! So so good.

    I’d say my top book (as of now) for this year is The Rose Code (the new one by the author of The Alice Network). It’s amazing!!! You would love it.

    My top two last year were The Things You Cannot Say and American Dirt – so needless to say, I think we share a similar taste in books!

  5. Kristen Thompson says

    Ahh The Good Sister was sooo good! I’m currently 75% of the way through Kristy Woodsen Harvey’s new book, Under the Southern sky and I am loving it! It is really cute! If you like Sally Hepworth (as I do!!) I think you’d also like Sarah Jio. Her books are similar in that they are somewhat chock-lit but way meatier and always have a bit of a twist! My all time favorite of hers is The Bungalow which takes place in Bora-Bora both during world war 2 and now and weaves two lives together so interestingly! I think you’d like it!

    • Susanne Nieman says

      Oh my goodness…The Bungalow is the best! I love Sarah Jio and that one is at the top of my list! I also loved Morning Glory.

  6. Eileen says

    I loved The Good Sister. I couldn’t put it down either! Two books I think you would love – The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell and Have You Seen Luis Velez? Both are two of the best books I’ve read this year.

  8. Brandi says

    If you are looking for another read like Kisses and Croissant…Love and Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch is another adorable read! It takes place in Italy!

  9. Mallie says

    Have you read Swear on This Life? If you haven’t you need to!
    It kind of reminded me of It Ends With Me.

  10. Jenn says

    Woke up early just to read your review! I always look forward to them, and I often refer to them each time I walk into a bookstore!

  12. Kelly Marie Sites says

    I just got home from vacation in Mexico where I read 4 books in a week on the beach….the best ever. I highly suggest:

    The Nature of Fragile Things and The Rose Code I loved both so much.

  13. Melissa Terry says

    Kisses and Croissants and The Good Sister are both on my list. Running looks great too-I am about to start John Grisham’s new book which is about a similar topic. I can’t wait to read it!

  14. Vida says

    I always look forward to your book reviews! They’re the best! 🙂 Can’t wait to read The Good Sister.

  15. Jenny says

    Final Revival of Opal & Nev. Written very much like Daisy Jones and the Six, but very current.

  16. Andrea Conrad says

    Shay, I have the best children’s book recommendation for you! It’s called “ What Happened to You” by James Catchpole and Karen George. Such a great story about a boy who only has one leg & other kids reactions. We have some special needs kids in our family & so this book has been an amazing learning opportunity about what to say (more importantly what not to say) to someone who looks different but also how to react. It’s helped me a lot too because the Mama Bear in me really comes out when I can tell someone is about to make a mean comment to one of my kids. This is the only book my 5 year old insists we read 2 times every night. It’s just such an important book.

  18. julie says

    “Under the Southern Sky” Kristy Woodson Harvey is super cute! I love all her books, and this one does not disappoint. Just a cute, light read with romance, twists and turns, southern landscape (LOVE) and insights about longing to have children. Also, I saw Oprah is coming out with something new? Which I want to read. Because, Oprah! Also on my list is “Finlay Donovan is Killing it” Love your book reviews!! Are you still doing your summer book club?

  19. Eileen Crews says

    Love book day, I always get such amazing recommendations from you and the comments section that day. Can you do a more in depth review of your kindle, how you get all your books – do you use kindle unlimited??

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      I do not use Kindle unlimited, I just individually buy them. Because I’m always trying to read books that you girls recommend, I find that it just makes more sense for me to purchase them individually each month.

  20. Heather says

    I just finished Float Plan by Trish Doller. Very sweet story about finding courage and love after loss.

  22. Vanessa Johnson says

    Pamela Kelley’s Nantucket Series a cute series. All of the Beach Plum Cove novels are super cute and quick reads. They are all set in Nantucket. She has several other newer books also set in Nantucket that I haven’t read yet.

  23. Kristen says

    Can’t wait to read the new Sally Hepworth! Her books are great.
    Please read the Dream Daughter by Diane Chamberlain!!!!!

  25. traci says

    So o have to admit I have never been that much of a reader (kids time etc) BUT you’re book reviews have inspired me so I started with 28 summers (amazing) and have since read 5 books since March (what?!) and am in my 6th. Lots saved too!! Thank you for sharing your love and inspiring me to pick up a book again!!

  26. Tina says

    Please read All the Young Men by Ruth Coker Burks. A true story of a young woman (Ruth) who gets drawn into helping people with AIDS when it was still new, unknown and very scary.

  27. Tanya says

    I also loved Running for my Life – such a hopeful memoir. The Good Sister was my favorite book this month too. It really is something for everyone – romance, mystery, thriller, and family drama. Loved it! Have you read The Star Crossed Sisters of Tuscany or The Last Garden in England? Both were 5 star reads for me! Here are my latest book reviews ~
    Tanya – The Other Side of the Road

  28. Holly says

    I love book review day!!!

    I read Love Lettering by Kate Clayborn and Shipped by Angie Hockman while I was on vacation this month and I think they are the perfect easy, breezy summer reads!!

    I also read Sea Wife by Amity Gaige and it was AMAZING – will almost certainly be in my top 3 this year. It’s about a family that leaves their suburban life behind to sail the Caribbean. It’s so so good.

    I finally read Castle of Water and I could.not.put.it.down. Thank you for recommending it!

    I would love some other summer reading recommendations. Your posts and everyone’s comments are so helpful in finding new books!

  29. Suzy says

    Look forward to read Running for my Life – he is a Lost Boy, one of many who came to the US years ago. Our church sponsored four, and it has been a journey to see them grow, from learning about electricity to cell phones. Love your book reviews!

  30. Krista Steenbergen says

    I love book review day! It is getting even more important to me now that I am looking at retirement. I am taking the entire month of July off to stay on my houseboat on the lake and read books! I have raised three girls and a considerable amount of money for a public university and now I am looking at what my next chapter looks like. So exciting!

  32. Julie says

    I love KA Tucker, but this one was my least favorite. Dirty Empire series is my favorite!! Still waiting on book 3 to come out but wow – book one will BLOW you away!! Def rated R. She wrote this series under her other pen name “Nina West” but then changed it to KA Tucker later as it was too hard to keep up with both names, Her series Ten Tiny Breaths is amazing!!! Each book was so good. Just read the first one and you will see!! The Player Next Door was good – predictable but good and heart warming ending with Hallmark Feelings. Book Review is my favorite day!!! Also, checked out the Tarte suggestions and that H20 and retinol serum is the bees knees! Love you Shay

  33. Madeline says

    Have you read Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah? If not, can’t recommend it enough!!!

  34. Joanne says

    Kisses and Croissants does sound so cute! I love a good memoir and will definitely be checking out Running for my Life too. Pinned.

  36. Sara McGrath says

    We begin at the end by Chris Whitaker was amazing. So beautifully written and keeps you guessing right until the end. I couldn’t put it down. I also read This Tender Land as a few people suggested it in the comments of last month’s book review. I found it to be a cross between Huckleberry Finn and the Little House on the Prairie books from my childhood. Another book I could not put down.

  37. Ashley Brown says

    I always look forward to your book posts! Here are a few of my favorite books in case anyone is looking for some more recommendations.

    • Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating- Christina Lauren
    • Something Borrowed and then the sequel, Something Blue- Emily Giffin
    • The Paris Library- Janet Skeslien Charles

  38. Pamela Garrett says

    I Love book review days. I read Rush by Lisa Patton…so fun! It is about a sorority at Ole Miss and a housekeeper. Really cute! I think it would be fun to listen to this book too as I kept hearing that Mississippi accent in my head as I read ?

  39. Kate says

    Yay! Sally Hepworth is in my cart, excited to hear how good it is!

    I read five last month, some you’d like!

    The Push (Audrain) I finally read this after it was suggested on here so many times and now I really need a post or book club to just discuss this book! Wow. So good but wild, sad, suspenseful. Great read.

    Bromance Book Club – fun, cute, easy read. Liked the characters and the camaraderie of the men!

    Life’s too short (Jimenez) – LOVE! Loved the characters, the story, the journey, great book.

    Love at first like: a novel (Orenstein) – cute, easy read.

    The Wedding Sisters (Bremerton) – ok. Kind of frustrating. Liked the concept

  40. Jen Huegel says

    I just read The Last Flight by Julie Clark and I think you would love it. It’s so, so good. In the vein of Breaking Bad and Behind Closed Doors combined…?. I stayed up way past my bedtime to see how it would end!

  42. Diane says

    On your suggestion, I read Open by Andre Agassi. I loved it. I remember reading about him and watching him play tennis. This book really shed a different light on who he really was and why he acted and dressed the way he did. He was such a rebel in his days. This book really made you care for him as a person. Great read!

  43. Meaghan P. says

    Favorite day of the month!! Adding that Sally Hepworth to my goodreads list stat. My 2 recent fav reads were: Life’s Too Short by Abby Jimenez (in the same world as The Friend Zone and The Happy-Ever After Playlist) and Pretty Little Wife by Darby Kane. Love all of Abby’s books and this one didn’t disappoint. Pretty Little Wife is a great thriller and kept me guessing!

  44. Tracy Abraham says

    Loved the Good Sister too! Just started Sooley by John Grisham on audio but have found several on here I will put on my list. I use Overdrive so I can check them out from the library for free. You should check it out!

  45. Cara says

    I have 2 book recommendations…
    The Stillwater Girls
    The Extraordinary life of Sam Hell
    Both are so good!!

    • Charlotte Place says

      I read The Secret Life of Sam Hell this month (because someone here recommended it) and absolutely loved it!!!

  46. Jennifer says

    Yay, book day!! I’m in the middle of The Rose Code (by the author who wrote The Alice Network) and am super into it so far!

    Spring and summer are always crazy with so many of the big authors having their book releases! My list is way too long- the best problem to have! Hopefully I will even more “best of the best” suggestions in my comment for next month!

    By the way, I second someone’s comment above who asked about your summer book club! ?

  47. Alison says

    If you’re looking to introduce your big kids to the Lost Boys of Sudan, I would also recommend A Long Walk to Water. It is a dual narrative, toggling back and forth between the true story of Salva Dut, and a fictional story of a young girl living in present-day South Sudan. I teach it to my 7th grade students every year, and I’ll never not cry happy tears at the end.

    • Stephanie says

      My daughter read Long Walk to Water last year in 7th grade. Then the whole 7th grade had a walking fundraiser to build wells in South Sudan. It was SO meaningful for my somewhat reluctant reader. ❤️She loved it!

  48. carly says

    Love the book reviews! FYI for book readers that want a real book in there hands….twiggebooks.com This is a great site to rent a real book with no subscription or shipping costs. You just rent a book and keep it for up to 6 weeks(longer if needed). You select your book, they ship it for free and return ship is free and it’s only $6.99. Company started by a young mom with a child who loves to read with a book in her hands.

  49. Lindsay says

    I really like the 10 Tiny Breaths series by K.A. Tucker. I read the Simple Wild series after your recommendation and have read almost all of her books. I feel like the 10 Tiny Breaths series has a lot more substance to it and isn’t as expected (at least book 1.)

    • Sarah says

      I second this! I read a bunch of her bunch after enjoying the simple wild series. I’m not sure any of the other ones quite lived up to the simple wild series, but Ten Tiny Breaths is definitely worth a read – it goes pretty quickly. The interesting thing about that series is that each subsequent book breaks one of the secondary characters off and focuses on their story.

  52. Jayne says

    I’m reading Surviving Savannah by Patti Callahan right now (toggles back and forth between present day and the 1830s). It’s really good so far!

  53. Marla says

    Hey honey! I’m suggesting the non-fiction book 12 Mighty Orphans! True story of an orphanage in Fort Worth that played football under dire circumstances and ended up one of the best in the state!! I think Smith would like it too! I gave the book to Tab years ago, not sure he had a chance to read it. Now it’s been made into a movie!❤️

  54. Leslie S says

    For young adult readers (though they’re really good for adults too!) Julie by Catherine Marshall and Christy by Catherine Marshall. Both historical fiction, both Christian in perspective. Fantastic books.

  55. Amanda says

    Loved the Good Sister! Here are my favorites 4-5 stars lately:
    Maybe One Day, The Way it Should Be, Everything After, One Summer in Paris, The Push and The Brilliant Life of Eudora Honeysett.

  56. Mal says

    Love book review day! Have you read The Push? It’s a chilling book about motherhood that made me feel every emotion!

  57. Bethany says

    I just finished Kathie Lee Gifford’s book, “It’s Never Too Late.” It was so good! She has always been fun to me but to read how much she loves Jesus and trusts Him was very inspiring. It’s a quick read, too!

  58. Hayley says

    Have you read First They Killed My Father?? The synopsis for Running for my Life reminded me of it. If not, it’s incredible- but also really hard and devastating to read at times. Definitely recommend!

  59. Laura says

    I loved The Good Sister! I’m so glad I stumbled onto Sally Hepworth books because of your reviews.
    In an Instant and Where the Forest Meets the Stars are two books I have read lately that surprised me!

  60. Tin-Tin says

    I SO appreciate your book recommendations! Such variety and such good books! I’ve already read Say you still love me, but I have ordered the rest at my library, and I SO look forward to reading them!
    I finally have time to read again (kids, a lot of work you know), and I have rediscovered my library and YOUR book recommendations! Thank you for American Dirt and In Five Years, I would never have found them without your recommendations!

  61. Elizabeth Stiles says

    I read a KA Tucker book this month too that just did nothing for me…it was called Until It Fades. It was fine and cheesy, but boring. I loved the Simple Wild series so much!

  62. Amy Heinl says

    I read the 3 books in Elin Hildebrand’s paradise series. I loved them…and she recently hinted at a possible fourth. I have 4 good books to dive into May with. I cant wait

  63. Kelsee says

    I LOVED The Good Sister! It was so good! Also just ordered Running For My Life. Out of the 5 books I read this month, I would highly recommend two: The People We Meet On Vacation and Greenlights. I loved both so much and I think they will both end up in my top 10 for the year.

  64. Sheaffer Sims says

    Here’s what I need from you. On your book review days, I need you to think back to the Scholastic Book Fair in elementary school. You can talk about your books, but you also need to have a random shiny thing or two to keep my interest. Like, throw in a pair of earrings to review. Just a suggestion. Please and thank you. xoxo, Your Friend That Doesn’t Read Books

    • Deana Lewis says

      I love book day and always read ALL the comments, but you better believe I’m always looking for SS’s! Always makes me smile 🙂

  66. Brooke Lawrence says

    Hi Shay! Do you only use a kindle? I am a book junkie, but feel like I may save some money but doing the kindle?

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      I only use a Kindle! The light is my favorite part. I love, love, love mine!

  67. Angela says

    Hi Shay! A MUST READ! Secret Daughter – a Novel, by Shilpi Somaya Gowda
    Great story about an Indian/American adoption – I feel like you will love it! 🙂

  68. Kellie Story says

    LOVE your book reviews! I just read “What Alice Forgot” by Liane Moriarty and it was great!! Also read “Little Mercies” by Heather Gudenkauf. She also wrote “The Weight of Silence”. Both of those were excellent books. Love the way she writes!

  69. Shannon says

    Matthew McConaughey’s Greenlights is great! I think it’s even better to listen to with his narration!

    • Ella Williams says

      I second this!! I LOVED it!! And yes, the audiobook was awesome! He was so enthusiastic and passionate and it was so neat hearing the words he wrote from his own mouth.

      • Julee P says

        I read it and really enjoyed it, but my friends who listened to it LOVED it. But one friend said she would be enthralled listening to him read the phone book!

  70. Diane says

    Yay for book review day! From another avid Kindle user consider reading—— “ I Liked My Life” by Abby Fabiaschi (did not see the ending coming) and “Eliza Starts a Rumor” recommended by Elin Hilderbrand (need I say more!)! Hugs from Waco ☔️,

  71. Dana says

    Love love love book day!!! Can’t wait to read the Good Sister!! I recently started The Last Flight and so far I’m very intrigued!!

  72. Sally Hepworth says

    SHAY! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed The Good Sister. Thank you for this very kind review. And I have a recommendation… Kelly Rimmer’s newest, The Warsaw Orphan. It is out June 1 in the States and it is every bit as good as The Things We Cannot Say. You will LOVE IT.

    • Allison Stein says

      @SallyHepworth I just finished The Good Sister this weekend and I couldn’t put it down! I loved it! I have two daughters close in age and the relationship between Fern and Rose was fascinating to me! I’ll be on pins and needles waiting for your next masterpiece! 🙂

  73. Tonya says

    I’m reading a book called Choice Privilege by Melissa Tate, an African immigrant. It’s the perfect book to read in 2021. I’m adding Running for your Life to my list.

  74. Bri says

    I’m a huge fan of professional running, and I think Lopez Lomong is just incredible. I’d highly recommend listening to him on the podcast “I’ll Have Another with Lindsey Hein”!

  75. Diane B says

    Have you ever thought about making a mix and match book club group on goodreads app? ?‍♀️?? I’m new’ish to this app and love how it keeps all my books in one place…I even have a mix and match book list ? ??❤️? and I’m trying to get my local bookclub on board…..

    Thanks for sharing all your book funds!

  76. Danielle says

    I just finished Sally Thorne’s new book Second First impressions and it was cute! I LOVED The Hating Game and this one wasn’t quite as good but still definitely a worthwhile read!

  78. Elizabeth says

    Would you say Sally Hepworth books are rated R? I’m looking for some good murder mystery type books to read but I would prefer to stick to a bit milder PG/PG13 type ratings. Any recommendations?

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      Nope, I do not think they’re R at all! I think they’re definitely in your range. Enjoy!!

  79. Aparna says

    Yay! Book day! I have read so many good books this month! Currently recovering from COVID and reading is what’s keeping me sane besides binge watching The Bold Type on Netflix!
    Loved The Good sister too! Sally Hepworth doesn’t disappoint. Thanks to you shay, I discovered her!
    Lucy Foley’s Guest list was an awesome murder mystery
    Read my first Sarah jio, Black berry winter, based on the recs here, really enjoyed this author! Thanks ladies!
    Read Chanel miller’s Know my name and though it’s a gripping story and could feel for her, thought the book could’ve been shorter, was a little bit drawn out.
    And finally read the much awaited life’s too short and loved it! Abby Jimenez is rocking it! All 3 of her books have been so good!
    Also read Nancy Horan’s Loving Frank…it’s kind of a bio of Frank Lloyd’s married lover, enjoyed reading it.

  81. Lauren says

    I just finished Abby Jimenez’s book, Life’s Too Short. I adore her books, funny, romantic and deep at the same time. Highly recommend this one, it was my favorite of all of hers and I loooved the others.

  82. Charlotte Place says

    For anyone looking for an inexpensive way to read, your local public library is the way to go! I’m amazed at how many of the books recommended here are available at our library, in print, audiobook, and ebook versions!!! And free!

  83. Sami Moss says

    My favorite KA Tucker book is Until It Fades. It’s definitely mostly predictable but in a good way!

  84. Allison says

    My favorite book for the month was The Rose Code by Kate Quinn. It is a historical fiction that takes place in England with 2 time periods of 1940 and 1947 (Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip’s wedding week). I also loved The Alice Network by Kate Quinn.

  85. Colleen Linehan says

    I’ve read a lot of Tucker books and you’re right, “Say you still love me” is just not one of the best ones. The Wild series is definitely the best by her, but “Until It Fades” is really good. It’s light, but good. “Keep Her Safe” was also good and so is the “Ten Tiny Breaths” series – rated R though.

  87. Andrea Breece says

    Oh my Lord Jesus the Good Sister!!! I just read it this weekend! My first Sally Hempworth book and it was amazing!! I loooooooved it!!!! Thank you for the recommendation!!!

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      Woohooo!!!! Now, start from the beginning and read alllllll of her books. You will not be disappointed!!
