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 →
Split-Level by Sande Boritz Berger, 4 Stars
The book also captured the 70's well, and gave me that groovy vibe I was so hoping for when I picked it up.
Natalie Tan’s Book of Luck and Fortune by Roselle Lim, 4 Stars
This one was so charming and compulsively readable. And the recipes!!! I'm going to have to try quite a few of these, although it seems that my cooking will probably not do justice to Natalie's cooking.

Previously, he has published a work of poetry, A Meditation on Fire.... Continue Reading →
The Favorite Daughter by Kaira Rouda, 3.5 Stars
Narcissists are so fascinating, really. We just love to hate them. Especially from afar. Because if you actually have to deal with one on a regular basis, it is exhausting and frustrating. I picked up The Favorite Daughter by Kaira Rouda because I loved Best Day Ever, just the ramblings of a crazed narcissist. They... Continue Reading →
Mine by Courtney Cole, 4 Stars
For those that like their beach reads with a bit of suspense.
The Night Before by Wendy Walker, 3 Stars
I loved Emma in the Night, which I reviewed about a year ago. I think I've also read, All Is Not Forgotten by Walker as well. Although I either read it before I started blogging or read it when it was older so I wasn't compelled to blog about it. News on the street is... Continue Reading →
The Farm by Joanne Ramos, 5 Stars
The Farm, is a stunning debut.
