Moira Hi Morgan! Thanks for accepting my friend request. Looks like you're back to using Goodreads. That's great. I really liked Amy and Roger's Epic Detour and I'm keeping an eye out for Second Chance Summer.


Dakota Thanks for adding me! I really enjoyed your book and will be reading Second Chance Summer soon.


♥Rachel♥ Thanks for the add Morgan. I loved Amy & Roger's Epic Detour! (view spoiler)[Would love to hear more about them as a couple. We didn't get to see much of them together at the end (hide spoiler)]. I'm looking forward to your next book!
