I'm going to Cancun next week and I just want a good book to relax with under the sun. What do you got for me? Preferably something that will inspire me or change my life!
What book do you recommend for a lazy vacation on the beach?
Poison by Alane Ferguson should be a good one. My sister read it and said it was great for being on the beach or on vacation or just being lazy so im amazed you asked this! :D
