Verity
★★★★★
Excuse me, what? I don’t think I’ve ever disliked a character more than I have Verity Crawford.
This story starts out 100% unrealistic… until the plot truly unfolds.
It Ends With Us
★★★★☆
50 Shades of Gray meets… an actual honest and emotional story?
Before I Let You Go
★★★★★
“Half the town is on fire, and the townspeople are all so busy hollering for the fire brigade that no one thinks to find out why people are still playing with matches.”
The Silent Patient
★★★★☆
I tend to be boastful when it comes to figuring out the “twist” before it’s revealed— this one got me.
A Spark of Light
★★★★★
A great read that tackles both sides of the debate. It’s written backwards, hour by hour.
Also the amount of research Jodi Picoult puts into each of her novels is mind boggling.
The Woman in the Window
★★★★☆
Pairs well with a glass of Merlot.
Untamed
★★★☆☆
A few points worth underlining and looking back at.
The Turn of the Key
★★★☆☆
I caught myself looking over my shoulder when I read this at night.
Valentine
★★☆☆☆
Huh…
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
★★★☆☆
An unexpected love story that leaves you wondering if you love or loathe Evelyn Hugo.
Daisy Jones and The Six
★★★☆☆
If your dad (mine) is an AC/DC addict or if you (me) have ever dressed up as Stevie Nicks for Halloween, this is your book— told in interview format.
Then She Was Gone
★★★★☆
A girl goes missing and a woman hoards hamsters (and other secrets) in her basement.
A sickening story you’re almost embarrassed to admit you obsessed over.
My Friend Anna
★★☆☆☆
For those of you who can’t seem to cut off that toxic friend….
City of Girls
★★★★☆
For those who have been (or wanted to be) an independent young woman taking full advantage of New York City.
Disclaimer: You don’t need to be a theater geek to enjoy this book.
The Nightingale
★★★★★
Didn’t pay attention in history class? No problem.
We’ve all heard a man’s POV on war, this book shares a woman’s.
