David Tennant makes everything better.

Exit, Pursued by a Bear & Luckiest Girl Alive by E.K. Johnston, Jessica Knoll

by 11 Comments

Here’s something strange: last week I picked up two books at the library without really knowing what they were about. I just knew I heard “about” them and figured they would be a good way to pass a cold, rainy April weekend. What’s weird is that were pretty much the same story…just that one was way, way better than the other.

The Luckiest Girl Alive was another recommendation via Reese Witherspoon’s Instagram page; once again the woman has excellent taste in novels.
