October Round Up and Book of the Month

October's Book of the Month is It’s Not Me It’s You by Mhairi McFarlane

Firstly, I want to apologize that this post is coming a little later than usual. The main reason being that it's took me a few days to finally settle on a book of the month! I read three books last month that were equally wonderful in different ways but in the end I decided to go with Mhairi McFarlane's new novel. All three books brought out different emotions in me but It's Not Me It's You is the one that brought out the biggest range of emotions. It's a rare thing when you find yourself crying both happy and sad tears over the same book. It's been a while since I enjoyed a book as thoroughly as I did this one. If you haven't checked out Mhairi McFarlane yet and enjoy Rainbow Rowell's adult books then she's an author you're going to love. It's Not Me It's You gave me the warm fuzzies and had me hysterically laughing to myself. If you'd like to read more of my thoughts on this book check out my review here.
