Why read it?
1 author picked Simmer Down as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Simmer Down is my favorite novel by my friend and co-author/podcaster, Sarah Smith. Smith is a master of the hate-to-love beach read. Her books are spicy, sizzling, and fun.

From Skye's list on making you laugh, cry, and swoon.
