Itβs hard to believe June has already come and gone! My reading list this month had some instant-favorites, some surprising hits, and (unfortunately) one book that I didnβt finish.

Read MoreBlog Tour | Book Review: THE OTHER TWIN by L.V. Hay
THE OTHER TWIN by L.V. Hay is aptly titled: this book has two identities. On the one hand, this book is an inventive, addictive psychological thriller for the social media ageβa binge-worthy story that considers the secrets we can hide online. On the other hand, this book is an unflinching and heartbreaking glimpse into the damage we can inflict on one another when we impose our own worldviews on those around us. As much a call for acceptance as it is an addictive thriller, THE OTHER TWIN will surprise readers with the substantial message that lies underneath its engaging and binge-worthy plot.
