This year's Summer Reading Challenge (#SRC2018) has taken off to Marga-READ-aville! It's officially week three of this summer's epic reading challenge and we're here to keep you in the loop of what we're reading each week. Check back each Monday as we dive into our weekly #SRC2018 pick.

Week of May 28: How to Walk Away by Katherine Center

Margaret Jacobsen is on the brink of achieving the perfect life when a plane crash lands her in the hospital, facing an extensive recovery. Now unsure about the man that she has promised to marry and dealing with her flaky sister, Maggie can't help but look for some kind of escape. When she meets her ultra-tough yet handsome physical therapist, she doesn't think much of it but before long, she begins to develop new feelings for the man that seems to see a different side of her. This New York Times bestseller about new beginnings and picking up your life when it falls apart is an inspiring read, perfect for your summer beach bag.

Katherine Center is the author of six bittersweet comic novels about love and family, including The Bright Side of Disaster, The Lost Husband, Happiness for Beginners, and How to Walk Away. Her work has appeared in Redbook, InStyle, People, USA Today, Vanity Fair, The Atlantic, Real Simple, Houstonia, the Dallas Morning News, The Houston Press, and The Houston Chronicle, as well as several anthologies. 

Katherine is also a speaker on writing, and reading, and how the stories we tell impact our lives—and she recently gave a TEDx talk on how stories teach us empathy.  She lives in her hometown of Houston, Texas, with her awesome husband, two sweet children, and their fluffy-but-fierce dog.
