5.4.2021 - Don't Make Me Turn This Life Around

Don't Make Me Turn this Life Around by Camille Pagán

Many thanks to NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest book by Camille Pagan - 4.5 stars for an emotional read!

Libby just got the news that she is cancer free and her 10-year remission anniversary is coming up.  So why isn't she ecstatic?  A normally optimistic person, Libby has dealt with her cancer, the death of her dad and her daughter's medical issues by putting a positive spin on everything.  Now her husband, Shiloh, is uncharacteristically distant and Libby fears the worst.  Trying to get herself and her life back on track, Libby books a last-minute vacation to the Puerto Rican island where she and Shiloh fell in love.  However, nothing is going according to plan.

These characters and situations feel very real, even if you are not on an island vacation.  Every person has to deal with issues in their lives and how we handle them makes all the difference.  Libby was used to shoving everything deep inside and putting a smile on her face but emotions don't stay hidden forever.  There were great family and sibling dynamics in this book and I felt like every character figured things out and improved themselves by the end.  Great read!
