Because I read this book a month ago, and the plot is somewhat convoluted, I am resorting to the plot summary from Goodreads to help me explain what the book is about: Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft-guru husband, she’s a fiercely opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, she’s a disgrace, to design mavens, she’s a revolutionary architect, and to 15-year-old Bee, she’s a best friend, and simply, Mom. Then Bernadette disappears. It began when Bee aced her report card and claimed […]
What happens when the one who got away comes back? Well, I’ll have less sympathy with you when you’re the reason he got away in the first place.
SPOILER WARNING! There are some plot spoilers in this review, as I found it impossible to express my feelings without going into specific plot details. Rachel has just broken up with Rhys, her boyfriend of fourteen years, who she’d been dating since University. Once they got into an argument about what band to have at their wedding, it became obvious to her that they really didn’t have a future together, and she’s been staying with him more out of habit than anything else. Now they […]
An amusing contemporary romance with adultery and murder. No, really.
MINOR SPOILERS FOR THE PLOT OF THIS BOOK IN THE REVIEW: Maddie Faraday is cleaning out her husband’s car and discovers a pair of women’s underpants under the seat that certainly aren’t hers. This isn’t the first time he’s cheated on her, and she decides that enough is enough.

A New Adult romance with rock stars
This is the third book in the Stage Dive series, and while the books can be read as stand-alones and independently of each other, the series is best read in order. Start with Lick and if you like it, move on to Play.If you don’t like the first two, then book three is probably not going to be your thing either. James “Jimmy” Ferris is the lead singer of the hugely popular, world famous rock band Stage Dive and he’s had a rough few months. Having hit rock bottom after […]
She didn’t care about wizards, but she thought Alan Rickman was dreamy.
This has never happened to me before. Never have I finished a book and wanted to read it again, RIGHT AWAY. But it happened to me last night when I read the last page of Landline. I picked it up yesterday morning, after waiting forever on the library list, and drove to the Toyota dealership to get my car fixed. And I started reading. And I didn’t even notice that I was stuck in that disgusting waiting room for two hours, because Rainbow was with me, […]
I preferred the movie!
Here are ten things you need to know about The Silver Linings Playbook: 1) It’s not exactly like the movie, but it’s not far off either. 2) You will see the faces of Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence super-imposed on the main characters of Pat and Tiffany if you’ve seen the movie first. It just can’t be stopped. 3) The mental illness portrayed in the book is far more expressive and understandable than how the film related it – at times to a frustrating degree. […]
