Turning pages, chasing twists
What an amazing book! After I was done, I just wanted to learn more about Glennon, listen to any podcasts she was on, read through Momastery etc. Any woman can take away many lessons from this book, even if you haven’t had the personal and marriage struggles that she’s had. The lessons she taught her …

The Surrogate by Louise Jensen was a quick read that was a bit far fetched. Kat and her husband, Nick, couldn’t conceive. Kat reconciles with an old friend named Lisa. The question lingers if they can leave the past behind and move on. I gave it a 3 out of 5 stars on Goodreads. The …

I have to preface this by saying Kristin Hannah is my favorite author, so my review is biased. I’ve read almost all of her books over the last few years. She just writes such beautiful stories about women and speaks to a woman’s soul. This novel tells the story of Leni, starting at age 13 …

Blink focuses on a newly single mother whose husband has died in Afghanistan in combat. Toni’s daughter, Evie, goes missing from school one day. The plot examines a present and past format with flashbacks to go through the events of Evie’s disappearance. I gave this a 3 out of 5 stars It was good …
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 …

I've been loving all of the inspiring ways to improve the way I look at life and communicate with others. I've been stalking following these three authors Gretchen Rubin, Brene Brown, and Glennon Doyle on …
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 …

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 …
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 …
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 …
