If you liked the fast-paced and witty dialogue of Gilmore Girls, you will love Lauren Graham's (AKA Lorelei Gilmore's) novel. Yes, it is a light read, probably best for the beach, but it is well written with intelligent character development and story lines. I also heard that Ellen Degeneres is working with Graham to try to turn the book into a television sitcom--so my fingers are crossed for that one!

You could read Sophia Amoruso's #GIRLBOSS in two nights easily, but if you're like me and try to spread out a good book for as long as possible, you might like to take a few days. Amoruso takes you on her journey from a dumpster-diving teen, to Founder and CEO of Nasty Gal--a wildly popular online shopping destination, featuring both new and vintage women's clothing. Written in no-fuss, short and sweet chapters, she manages to inspire without bragging and teaches without condescending. It is witty and real, and I promise you, you will wish Amoruso was your bad-ass bestie.

I once stole something. On purpose. In my adult years. A €2.00 novelty pin. I was in Paris feeling vacation bliss and I couldn't find the owner of the outdoor booth. So I took it. I then promptly felt like I was gong to be sick and ran, literally ran, away sweating. I was convinced for the rest of the trip, that I would be caught and thrown into foreign jail. So maybe it was my dark criminal past that made me feel tense reading this memoir, but my innocent, law-abiding mother read it and felt the same way, so I blame Kerman's truthful story-telling! I could not put this book down. Well written and truly eye opening. Read it with a friend, because there are many lively discussions to be had.

Quirky and endearing, The Rosie Project is a love story told through the eyes of your favourite "nerd." I couldn't get Sheldon (from The Big Bang Theory) out of my head... in a good way! Once you get into the rhythm of Don's character, you find yourself cheering for this unconventional romance. Lessons in love and human spirit are fun to read through this unlikely teacher.

After laughing my way through Mindy Kaling's Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me (attention fans of The Mindy Project, you have found the perfect summer read in this one!), I thought I would switch gears and read the The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. My co-worker, Victoria also read it and we seemed to have the shared sentiment--although you will definitely need to have your Kleenex box on hand, there was way more to this book than a sappy storyline. Tragic, yet surprisingly funny--Victoria summed it up perfectly, calling it heartbreakingly wonderful. Worth the read, especially before it hits theatres this June!
