I tend to be a binge reader – I’ll go a month or so without reading at all and then all of a sudden I’ll pick up a new book and won’t put it down until it’s completely read. When Meredith Rachck sent me a copy of her debut novel, “Accidental Happiness”, I knew it would be the perfect poolside companion for our trip to Palm Springs (more on that to come soon!) where I could kick back and spend hours lounging with a book.

“Accidental Happiness” starts with a storyline we can all relate to: teenage love. The backstory behind the novel’s main characters had me remembering my own high school years and all of the experiences that went along with being 18. It’s a coming of age novel with a few twists that will have you feeling invested in the characters, yet not sure what will happen on the next page. It’s the perfect poolside read!
