Last summer, I started a series called #MacysMustReads where I share my favorite books from each season, along with a quick synopsis and rating. You can find my previous lists here:

Summer 2019 Fall 2019 Winter 2019

Today I am sharing some of my favorite books from Spring 2020. I know we just started spring, but #quarantine has given me plenty of time to read, so here we go!

• In Five Years - Rebecca Serle

  • A fierce female lawyer is asked where she sees herself in five years during the most important interview of her career.  Of course, she has the perfect answer, nails the interview and then gets engaged that same night. That night, she has a dream that she is in a different apartment, with a different ring on her finger and next to a different man - and the year is 2025

    8.5/10 stars

• The Things We Cannot Say - Kelly Rimmer

  • Without a doubt, the most moving book I have EVER read. I am not one to get overly emotional when I read, but this book moved me to my core. Hands down, the most raw, inspiring book I have ever come across and a must read for all

    11/10 stars

• Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine - Gail Honeyman

  • I know so many people that have absolutely loved this book, but I have to be honest, it wasn’t my favorite! I liked the details and the style of writing, but I just felt like the plot wasn’t strong enough to sustain my attention throughout the book.

    7/10 stars

• The Jetsetters - Amanda Eyre Ward

  • A 70-year-old mother of three submits an essay and wins a contest - the grand prize being a Mediterranean cruise! She brings her three estranged children with her in an attempt to reunite them and mend their scars from a messy childhood!

    8/10 stars

• Swear on This Life - Renee Carlino

  • This book surprised me! It jumps back and forth between an aspiring author in San Diego and a young girl living in rural Ohio. The way this book so beautifully comes together makes it one of my favorite non-fictions and a sweet story about how our past really does shape our future.

    9.5/10 stars

• The Dinner List - Rebecca Serle

  • This was the second Rebecca Serle book that I read this spring and I am definitely a fan. Most of us have pondered the question, “If you could have dinner with any 5 people (dead or alive), who would you choose?” knowing it’s very unlikely to ever happen - except, on Sabrina’s 30th birthday, it does!

    8/10 stars

I’m already three books into my Summer 2020 list, but I would love to hear any suggestions!
