Review: The Things We Wish Were True

The Things We Wish Were True by Marybeth Mayhew Whalen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A perfect book for when you want something to keep you occupied. It is not likely to win any literary awards; but I do see this as a future "book club" suggestion. You'll keep reading to see what happens next in this written "soap-opera". Try it - you'll like it! Also it is free for the month of August for Amazon prime members.
