    Book Review: Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano

    Early last year, I came across Hello Beautiful, the newest book by bestseller author Ann Napolitano.

One of them was A Touch of Darkness by Scarlett St. Clair, the other was Girl, Goddess, Queen by Bea Fitzgerald. I decided to leave some time between reading both books, because otherwise I felt like it was…
