Touch and Go Book Review #BHBC

February 7, 2013 by Laura Lohr Leave a Comment

I read a lot of non-fiction books. I prefer them mostly, as I am always looking for ways to improve myself and find myself perusing the self-help, nutrition, health and fitness sections. Occasionally, I will choose a fiction book that friends recommend, however, for the most part, I read non-fiction. I like to push myself out of my comfort zone sometimes and when I had the opportunity to read Touch and Go, New York Times best selling author of suspense, Lisa Gardner, I was excited to see what she had in store for me. I had not read any of Lisa Gardner’s previous books and was not familiar with her writing style. I wasn’t disappointed.

The story opens with details about the Denbe family—a beautiful, picture perfect family that, by all appearances had it all. Within the first few pages, nevertheless, Libby Denbe narrates the story and I quickly learned that nothing is what it seems. Libby and Justin Denbe arrive home after a date night to be surprised in the foyer by kidnappers and nothing would be the same again.

I enjoyed reading the book. I love Lisa Gardner’s writing style, her plot and character development and her surprise ending. I have to admit, I began having my suspicions of the “surprise ending” chapters before the story wrapped, although Gardner did have some other surprises in store for me. Gardner has an ability to paint vivid pictures and I found myself having a lot of difficulty putting the book down. There were a few nights when I could not sleep because I wanted to find out what would happen next. Before I knew it, I would get out of bed and come down stairs for a cup of hot tea and to take a massage on my chair with my book.

I have already been browsing Amazon books for Lisa Gardner’s previous novels. I have to admit that I think I might be hooked. There is good reason for Gardner’s frequent appearances on New York Times Best Seller List.

Beautiful sunset on my 9 mile run. I still get anx Beautiful sunset on my 9 mile run. I still get anxiety before these long runs and I have extreme doubts can complete them each time before I go out. It seems crazy when I've run thousands of miles, nonetheless, I doubt my abilities. I do it anyways. I always feel strong and accomplished after I finish.

This girl's school principal is the real mascot of This girl's school principal is the real mascot of the school. The kids love him! When they released this Mr. Williams t-shirt, she's been asking for one. She's so excited about it. 😂 😂 She was asked to be an editor for the yearbook next year. She spent most of her free time after school swimming, playing water polo, and meeting today's deadline for the school yearbook. I am so inspired by this kid! 💜💜

Me and my baby girl. My baby is now taller than me Me and my baby girl. My baby is now taller than me. She's smarter than me too. I'm so proud of her! She's grown into this amazing creature. We took a walk along the beach and the three of us dressed for the different occasions. I was prepared in my @spandits, she was in her cute new skirt, and hubby was wearing a surf shirt and shorts. Lots of fun! 💜

There's been lots of relaxing, lots of hard work, lots of connecting with my people, and lots of of living life in the outdoors, near the ocean. It's been a blessing and I'm filled with gratitude.
