Quindlen artfully spins a realistic tale and character study into the stages of grief. Annie's husband, her four children and her best friend go through it all without the one person they would depend on to get through challenging times.
You Can Trust Me by Wendy Heard, 4 Stars
You Can Trust Me is a bit of a friendship novel, a bit of a missing persons thriller, and there are surprises around every corner. All in all, a great beach read!
No One Needs to Know, Lindsay Cameron, 4 Stars
I really enjoyed No One Needs to Know. It's a juicy satisfying read and the pages really turned themselves.
The Things We Do To Our Friends by Heather Darwent, 4 Stars
The Things We Do For Our Friends is a twisty tale with definitely vibes of Donna Tart's The Secret History.
All Dressed Up by Jilly Gagnon, 4 Stars
I really enjoyed this book. The murder mystery aspect was a lot of fun and drew me in. The characters were richly drawn and believable.
I’ll Be You by Janelle Brown, 3.5 Stars
I'll Be You is a compelling tale of two twins who are stuck in the downward spiral of having lived through a dysfunctional household. But it's also the tale of the bond between two sisters and definitely worth a read.
You Love Me by Caroline Kepnes, 4.5 Stars
You Love Me is everything I wanted it to be. Joe isn't the same guy who used to stalk Beck through the windows of her NYC apartment. He's matured. I think he might not be as much of a psycho. Well, scratch that.
The Farm by Joanne Ramos, 5 Stars
