Book Review: When Polly Met Olly
This was a light and breezy book to read and the story moved quickly. This is the first book that I've ever read by Zoe May, and I'm pleased to say that her writing style reminds me of Sophie Kinsella (another author whom I enjoy).

Want to Read Wednesday: The Pastor Wears a Skirt by Dorothy Nickel Friesen
