Love and Other Subjects Book Review #beckvalleybooks
For every woman who wonders if she chose the right career
Carolyn Jenkins strives for two things–to be the greatest teacher ever and to find true love. She’s as skilled at both as an infant trying to eat with a fork. Carolyn’s suburban upbringing and genuine compassion for people who don’t fit effortlessly into society are no match for weapon-wielding, struggling students, drug-using colleagues, and a wicked principal.
Meanwhile, her budding relationship with a mystery man is thwarted by his gaggle of eccentric sisters. Carolyn depends on her friends to get her through the hard times, but with poverty-stricken children at her feet and a wealthy man at her side, she must define who she is.
The reality of life after college can be daunting, the road to full-fledged adulthood long and unscripted. Can Carolyn take control and craft the existence she always wanted?

My thoughts: If you know me you know I’m a reader. I love to read books. Really any books. This book was great. I mean, don’t we all wonder if we have chosen the right path for our lives or if we should have done something differently. I know I do. Should I have gotten my RN degree(I did) or should I be working using my degree instead of staying home. Lots of questions. But really I’m sure everyone has these thoughts. Oh and I want to meet these sisters! Really they sound like such fun! Everyone needs eccentric sisters in their lives! This is definitely a fun book and I think you should give it a go too!

I am too. I love being a stay at home mommy and having a degree that I can work with once they’re older.
