I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I had to don my Sherlock Holmes cap. There were so many intriguing possibilities of what was going on in this story? Were we traveling in different timelines? Were there people back from the dead? Past life connections? What was with the "bad guys"? Lots of synchronicity and mystery. When done, I was glad I bought the whole series!

I fell in love with Bailey, the main character in Going Barefoot, on the novel's first page. I wanted to ride in her yellow Jeep as she sang at the top of her lungs. I wanted to be her. I still do.

If you're looking for a great escape this summer, Going Barefoot is a super fun read.
