Grief is hard to live with, but it's also a huge part of living.
Me for You by Lolly Winston, 3.5 Stars
The Woman Inside by E.G. Scott, 3.5 Stars
This one got great reviews, Entertainment Weekly ran an incredible review, and this one is even slated to become a TV series with the same production company that made Sharp Objects, my latest obsession.
You Don’t Own Me by Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke, 4 Stars
Reading a Mary Higgins Clark book is like slipping into an old, worn sweater.
Watching You by Lisa Jewell, 4 Stars
Watching You is a quick read, mostly because you won't be able to stop turning the pages furiously, with lots of satisfying twists and turns.
Best Day Ever by Kaira Rouda 4 stars
Today I'm reviewing Best Day Ever by Kaira Rouda. I was intrigued by the description of the book. Of course, when something is supposed to be the "best day ever", it's clear from the beginning it won't be. It'll probably be the worst day ever for someone. This book is definitely dark. And it's one... Continue Reading →
The Breakdown by B.A. Paris
I already had this galley on my Kindle, ready to go, when I attended a Mary Kubica book event at my local library. She recommended The Breakdown as a great title for her fans, so of course I had to run home and immediately begin reading it. I was fighting to keep my eyes open,... Continue Reading →
Every Last Lie
I'm kind of excited for my very first blog to be a review on Every Last Lie by Mary Kubica. Let me explain. This is her 4th book, and every single one has been amazing! She is also a local author and although I have never met her, I can claim that some of my... Continue Reading →
The Perfect Girlfriend by Karen Hamilton, 3.5 Stars
Ever had a boyfriend accuse you of being psycho? Send him this book!
The Lost Man by Jane Harper, 5 Stars
It's layers of story, well-developed characters and an engrossing plot that all come together to make each book almost impossible to set down.
Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams, 3.5 Stars
While definitely not a light read, Queenie is still lighter than a book on this topic could be. And I believe the book has a lot of value to open reader's eyes about racial divides and mental health.
If, Then by Kate Hope Day, 3 Stars
I went on a girl's trip with my sister this past weekend. And it was glorious. And I read about 2.5 books--and that was just on the plane ride there and back. Yes, flying to San Francisco from Chicago is definitely not a short flight. And I'm fortunate to have a Kindle pre-loaded with all... Continue Reading →
While You Sleep by Stephanie Merritt, 3 Stars
A.J. Finn, author of The Woman in the Window said, "“Atmospheric, spellbinding—as haunting as the best of Du Maurier, as psychologically astute as Kate Atkinson. Read it and shiver.”
Beautiful Bad by Annie Ward, 3.5 Stars
This week I'm reviewing Beautiful Bad by Annie Ward. I seriously knew nothing about the book's plot when I sat down to read it. I must have read something at some point to request it on Netgalley, but I started totally oblivious to what the story would be about. As I started to read, it... Continue Reading →
Between the Lies by Michelle Adams, 3 Stars
Between the Lies is Michelle Adam's second published work, but from the sounds of it, she has been writing for years. I love stories like hers because they show that if you fail, try, try again. I haven't read her first book, My Sister, but I have seen some good reviews of it. My feelings were... Continue Reading →
