Next Year in Havana by Chanel Cleeton

4 stars!! I really enjoyed this story! The writing was fantastic and very descriptive. It made me feel like I was in Havana! I now have several Cuban receipes that were mentioned in the story that I will be making. It was told in alternating perspectives of Marisol in the present and her grandmother Elisa when she was a young woman living in Cuba during the revolution. Loved this story and I can't wait for the second book!

Amy & Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson

4 stars! This has been on my list to read for a very long time. The begining of summer was a great time to pick it up. This is a cute contemporary about two kids taking a road trip across the country. I loved the pictures, receipts and play lists throughout the book. Matson takes us on a road trip through several states and we learn little things about each state along the way. I really liked Amy and Rogers characters and their developing relationship. I will be picking up more books by this author.
