KV Book Review: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
It took me a few chapters to really get into The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo but once I did, I really enjoyed it. Similar to her in story character, I was immediately charmed by Evelyn Hugo and invested in her life story.

This time of year I find it fun to reflect on the past year - the good, bad and ugly. In addition to a look back at follower favorite styles, I'm also excited to share my most trafficked blog posts and favorite books. Maybe because I'm in marketing but my inner nerd loves to geek out over the analytics and numbers behind the scenes on all of this so figured I'd share in case anyone else is the same way!

KV Book Review: The Paris Seamstress
I thought the The Paris Seamstress was a well written, easy to read book. It takes place at the beginning of France's invasion during WWII and follows a protagonist as she flees to New York and starts her own fashion label.
KV Book Review: The Four Winds
I literally cried every time I opened this book to read.

KV Book Review: Then She Was Gone

KV Book Review: Daisy Jones & The Six
I'm pretty torn on my opinion about Daisy Jones & The Six. On the one hand, I thought the interview style writing by Jenkins Reid is original and refreshing.

KV Book Review: The Winemaker’s Wife
Overall, I most enjoyed hearing the perspective from French wine country during WWII. Even though this book is fiction and the characters are made up, there was still quite a few real facts and events depicted throughout. As someone who loves historical fiction, specifically the WWII era, I sometimes forget the part France played in the war so this was a nice change. Click in to continue reading my review!
