My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Meh another fast and interesting thriller but not as good as many I read this summer. It was okay just not excellent.

ok this was a complete and total tear jerker. It was pretty much written to mess with your emotions.
fast, interesting thriller. good for a summer read.
4.5 stars because I love Steve Cavanagh, his books are so eminently readable for me! I love his writing, I love the pacing. I enjoy his crazy stories.
I really enjoy BK Borrison’s books and characters and the sweet, lovely Lovelight farms. This one was no exception. It’s hard not to wish you had this little town nearby with all these charming and wonderful characters.
Slightly creepy, quite interesting and enjoyable. I liked this one and a month later I still remember it which means it was one of the better ones 🙂
This was a fun but forgettable mystery for me. I enjoyed it. It was a fast and interesting read. If mysteries are your thing, I recommend it.
There’s something magical about Elizabeth Strout’s writing, for me. It’s quiet, tender, and real. I love reading about her characters. I love the way they interact and I love the way they live their lives. This book has a mystery in its heart. But even that, of course, is really about the human condition. About family, love, loyalty, marriage, friendship. You can’t help but love each character a bit and feel so much love for them. They are quiet, broken, lovable. I hope Strout continues to write these wonderful stories that I love. with gratitude to Random House and netgalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
I am not really sure why I haven’t read Percival Everett before but I am so glad I’ve started. What an excellent excellent book.
In this case, I’m afraid the writing really got in the way of my ability to enjoy this novel. I tried to read it no less than 5 different times. And I liked the premise but the execution really got in the way. the main character spent a lot of time complaining and the writing was really repetitive. Many others seem to have enjoyed this so please give it a try, you might love it. with gratitude to Random House and netgalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
If you’re looking for something fun and delightful, this is the novel for you. The story of two WW2 veterans who are funny and daring women who go to France for a ceremony and end up finishing a years long story is funny, delightful and enjoyable to read.
I loved this idea of a teacher whose car breaks down and she finds herself inside the town where her favorite book is set in. Which avid reader hasn’t hoped for an event like this? Or is it just me? Lovely and creative idea executed well and a joyful read as a result. |
