The Dreamers by Karen Thompson Walker is exactly what I want from a sleepy Sunday afternoon read.

The Suspect by Fiona Barton, 3.5 Stars
Whenever I think of Thailand and teenagers, I think of Brokedown Palace. The ultimate "be careful traveling internationally" story. You know, Claire Danes--fresh off of My So Called Life fame--and Kate Beckingsale are teen girls vacationing in Thailand when they fall into a trap with a cute boy who uses them to transport drugs without...

The Perfect Liar by Thomas Christopher Greene, 4 Stars
By the time you read this review, I will be finished with my Christmas shopping!!!! I hope. Because right now it's November and instead of starting it or thinking of it, I spent the afternoon reading The Perfect Liar by Thomas Christopher Greene. Wow, another author I was blown away by and then realized after... Continue Reading →
My Sister, The Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite, 4 Stars
Sometimes you need to read something that's a little dark. Or should I say sometimes I need to read something that's a little dark?

An Anonymous Girl by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, 5 Stars
I loved The Wife Between Us. Like, really loved it. And it was a New York Times best-seller--can't argue with that, huh? So when I saw that Hendricks and Pekkanen had teamed up for another book--An Anonymous Girl, it shot straight to the top of my TBR list. Sometimes I just brace myself for a... Continue Reading →
The Au Pair by Emma Rous, 3.5 Stars
The premise of The Au Pair pulled me in right away. A woman throws herself off a cliff behind her isolated estate the night she gives birth to twins.
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.
Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty, 5 Stars
Normally I'm pretty hard on books. I rarely give 5 stars. And I was explaining this to my husband by saying, "There really isn't a perfect book." Which is true. But he questioned my logic (not the first time that has happened!) And while it's true that there aren't perfect books, I think maybe I... Continue Reading →
