Scarlet and Vivian are cousins who co-run a hat shop called Mim's Whims.  During a restoration of a beautiful old wedding hat, they become ensnared in a plot involving deceit and murder.  A classic hat shop mystery.

I really loved the characters of this story, but the plot was a little silly and simple at times.  I ready very quickly thought, and I enjoyed the British slang.  It was a light chick-lit-ish read, and very fun.

Will read and write soon!

And it was really amazing!!!  Ronda is so driven, powerful, and down-to-earth; all while maintaining a total badass attitude.

This book documents her journey from Judo bronze medalist to UFC champion, and everything in between.

Definitely a must read for those interested in her life story, or looking for motivation in life.  We all have struggles, and it's nice to see an icon rise above and beyond.
