This book reminded me a bit of a Lifetime movie crossed with Gone Girl. Sutton and Ethan Montclair seem to have the perfecr life, but it is all a show. The characters were very unlikeable. Sutton disappears, and Ethan looks like the prime suspect. There are many twists and turns throughout that expose the negative …
Book review: One True Loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid
I loved all of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s other books, so I assumed I would like this as well. This is a love story reminiscent of Castaway. Emma believes that her husband died in a plane crash. It took her years, but she finally moves on. Prior to the wedding to her new fiancé, she finds …

Book review:The Widow by Fiona Barton
This thriller was so disturbing, I couldn’t give it more than 3.5 stars. The writing was extremely disturbing. The subject of child pornography is discussed frequently and is so hard to read. The plot examines Jean, who is a subservient wife with a tragic past. Her husband is accused of a horrible crime. If tragedies …
Book review: The Lying Game by Ruth Ware
I liked Ruth Ware's first two books The Woman in Cabin 10 and In a Dark, Dark Wood, so I wanted to read her newest book at the end of last summer, The Lying Game. This ended up being my favorite book out of all 3 of her books. Isa, Kate, Thea, and Fatima were classmates and best …
My favorite book of 2017: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
After reading After I Do and Maybe in Another Life by Taylor Jenkins Reid, I had The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo on my "To Read" list. The summary did not sound like something I really wanted to read, because I usually choose to read books that take place in a more current time period. I kept putting this …

Book review: The Identicals by Elin Hilderbrand-light and easy beach read
I always enjoy a light Elin Hilderbrand book when my schedule is lighter and life is a bit easier in the summer. The Identicals came out last summer of 2017. Elin Hilderbrand's novels are usually quick and easy books set in Nantucket. I've never been to New England, but I would love to visit there someday …

Book Review: The Girls in the Garden by Lisa Jewell
The Girls in the Garden was intriguing and shocking! This book is a hard book to read if you have a teenager. It will make you second guess your teenager's stories, thoughts, and intentions. It gives you a glimpse into the minds of teens and their activities. The characters live in a communal garden square …

Book Review: It’s Always the Husband
This book was an interesting book with the title not really fitting the story in my opinion. The novel focuses on three unlikely friends, Kate, Aubrey, and Jenny and flashes between the beginning of their friendship at a prestigious college, Carlisle College, and then ends with the current situation of the present and a murder …
The Girl Before by JP Delaney
This book was a bit confusing to me. It went back and forth from Emma and Jane as narrators as they both had been tenants at One Folgate Street. Both characters are a bit unnerving and make some poor choices but their choices are a bit frustrating as a reader. The architect for One …
