Talking as Fast as I Can by Lauren Graham, 224 Pages
This has been on my To-Read list for a long time. I loved Lauren Graham as Lorelai Gilmore in the show Gilmore Girls, and feel so nostalgic when I watch it because I grew up watching it. Lauren talks a lot about the show and her feelings during it also during the revival, so this is a good read for anyone who loves the show. (Graham was also on Parenthood, I haven't seen that one! She does talk about her time on that show as well.) This was a feel-good read, and a nice break from my usual thriller novels.

Dear Reader by Mary O'Connell, 295 pages
Flannery Fields' favorite teacher doesn't show up for school one day. Miss Sweeney left behind her purse containing Flannery's favorite book, Wuthering Heights. When Flannery flips through the book and starts to read she realizes it isn't the text of the book but Miss Sweeney's real-time diary showing her that Miss Sweeney is in Manhattan. The normally good girl Flannery skips school to track Miss Sweeney down. Which isn't an easy task. Along the way she meets a boy that Heath who seems eerily familiar. Will she let a handsome stranger distract her from her mission of finding her teacher?
This book is perfect for teens and adults. I think it would pair greatly with the classic that it is based on. It's almost reminiscent of Gilmore Girls...with a hint of Mean Girls. It covers important topics that do need discussed so it'd be great for a mother daughter read.
A friend that hadn't read Wuthering Heights read it and she admitted some of stuff confused her because she wasn't familiar with Wuthering Heights so I highly recommend pairing it with Wuthering Heights if you haven't read it (or at least watch a movie version. There's a version starring Tom Hardy. *swoon*).
