I have savored this book over the course of many weeks. I have binged her TV show and I will have to watch it and read this again several times before i can fully internalize it. The concept of near enemy is something that will stay with me forever now that I know it and as with all of Brene’s books, my life will not be the same now that I know what I know.
Jamie Varon’s book is beautiful inside out. The book contains sections that start with her own journey and how she moved from a life full of discontent and striving to a life of radical contentment. Pointing out shifts and perspective changes along the way. It is like a kind friend who sits alongside you and cheers you on to live your best life and be authentically who you are. It’s not empty platitudes and it’s not copying what’s worked for her. It’s inspiring and uplifting in all the right ways. with gratitude to edelweiss for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
I enjoyed Casey McQuiston’s previous two novels and I had high hopes for this one. It did not disappoint! This is the story of Chloe, Smith and Rory who have all kissed Shara right before she disappears. So even though they have nothing else in common, they band together to find and decipher the clues Shara has left behind so they can find her. There’s so much more to the story, of course. It’s about the religious town/school they attend, how most of the kids (and adults) do not have the freedom to be who they are. How things are not what they seem. How when we look at the world, we make assumptions about others and how easy their lives must be. It’s a fun and poignant story. I loved it. With gratitude to netgalley and Macmillan Audio for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
Poignant and beautiful book about mother-daughter relationships. Relationships in general and about motherhood. Loved it.
3.5 stars. A really fun locked-room mystery. Not the kind of story I usually would pick up but it was fun and interesting with memorable and well-developed characters.
Really enjoyed this sad and interesting story. Amazingly I have never read the Bell Jar but now it’s on my list.
I like Simone St. James’ stories. Her books are character-driven and the stories are always engaging. If character-driven mystery novels are your thing, I highly recommend.
An absolute work of art. The words, the images, the rhythm. The heartbreaking, suffocating story of what the last two years have been like.
i like Hazelwood’s characters. her pacing, her shorts. they are a small dose of fun for me.
This was a perfectly fine romance. but i think maybe i might be done with romance for a while. all the book and all the characters feel the same.
3.5 stars. Solid mystery. Loved the twists in this one, enjoyed the story the whole time. |
