Three Summer Poolside Reads
Hey y’all! I’m excited to be hanging out with you today at Stephanie Spring while she is on maternity leave! Stephanie and I met a few years ago and have worked together a few times and I’m thrilled to be sharing these fun poolside summer reads with you while she is snuggling that adorable baby!

1. To be thrilled:
Behind Closed Doors, B. A. Paris
From the moment you enter into the life of Grace in the first few pages of this book, you will not be able to put it down. This thrilling page-turner is a super easy read but will keep you on your toes for the entire book! Be aware though, as it took me a couple of chapters to put it together, that it does flip flop from the past to the present, and eventually the two time periods catch up with each other.
2. To laugh:
Of Mess & Moxie, Jen Hatmaker
Jen Hatmaker is my spirit animal, so naturally this book is one of my all-time favorite reads, ever. Within the first few paragraphs, she had already revealed that she had written the book especially for me (and I suspect you’ll feel the same way). She covers everything from church drama to grocery shopping, to football fanatics, all in her endearing, everday wine-drinking, mom on a mission voice. It will make you feel more like yourself, trust me!
3. To cry:
Girl, Wash your Face, Rachel Hollis
Okay, truth be told this book won’t just make you cry, because who wants to cry at the pool? But it will run you through ALL OF THE EMOTIONS. I had never heard of this woman, but all my favorite authors were talking about her all over social media, so I jumped right in. This is another one of those books that reminds you after every chapter, whatever you’re going through and whatever is happening in your life is normal, you’re not the first and nor will you be the last person to experience it. It was a breath of fresh air!
I’m so ready for pool weather to officially arrive so I can spend my afternoons with a book in my hand! What has been your all time favorite poolside read?
