Skipping a Beat Review
Now Skipping a Beat was very different from the last two Sarah Pekkanen books I read since it was about one person and solely a love story. An heartfelt bittersweet love story. It’s like The Vow and I think it should become a movie too. The main character is Julia, who has been faithfully married…

I do and I think other people should read it too for a light Buffy the Vampire Slayer esque middle grade series (think Buffy flair and integration of vampires in real world, not the show’s violence and darker themes). Vampilicious The fourth book was an excellent…
