Not sure why I waited so long to read this. It was absolutely excellent. Great characters, fantastic dialogue and really great audio. If romance is your genre, you will love this one.

Lighter than My Shadow
Lighter than My Shadow by Katie Green
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A powerful, deeply honest story about abuse and eating disorders. Does not shy away from unflinching truths. Even though it deeply affected me and was tough to read, I am so glad I read it.

Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Loved this cute story of women spies that are retired and suddenly find themselves in the middle of danger as there’s a hit placed on their heads. Books need to have more kick-ass older women.

The Marriage Portrait
The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O’Farrell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

O’Farrell can write characters unlike any other. Even though I don’t tend to favor historical fiction, I love her books because the writing is so excellent and the characters are so memorable and this one is no exception. And the strong women are a bonus 🙂
