How Not to Die Alone by Richard Roper
Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. This book will be released on May 28, 2019. So, this was a thought provoking and sobering at times read. I did laugh a few times, but a few times while finishing I thought to myself will I die alone and if I do, will anyone be left after to miss me and come round to check in on me. My family does a very good job of […]
Sorry Not Sorry by Sophie Ranald
Please note that this book will be released on February 13, 2019. Also note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. So this was actually really good. I laughed, cried, and laughed some more. The character of Charlotte was written well and so were all of the secondary characters. I really liked the overall plot of Charlotte trying to do more with her life and meet someone and the subplots of her changing relationship with Maddy, and […]
From Mum With Love by Louise Emma Clark
Please note that this book will be released on February 5, 2019. Also note that I received this ARC for free from NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. I ended up giving this three stars because I think the author can definitely write. I just think that I was more interested in Jess’s sister and her best friend more than I was with her and her trying to find fulfillment writing a mommy blog. I think it didn’t help that Jess was […]
The Happiness Project by Pippa James
Please note that this book will be released on February 12, 2019. Also note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. I have to say that I dithered on a rating for this one. I think it would have been five stars if we actually followed the three women (Alison, Frankie, and Kate) for the whole year. They make resolutions for New Year and we stop in March/April timeframe. Also Alison’s storyline felt like something was missing. […]
Things You Save in a Fire by Katherine Center
Please note that this book will be released on August 13, 2019. And note that I received this via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. Well this was really good. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars was because forgiveness is okay, but I loathed what one of the characters did and it was like they were given a pass on it because they had other issues going on. FYI, I am all about the vengeance. “Things You Save in […]
The Forgotten Hours by Katrin Schumann
I really loved the premise of the “Forgotten Hours” (a teenage girl loses her best friend and father after a rape accusation and trial). This type of plot feels very timely. That said, I thought that the story being told in third person point of view actually pushed me away as a reader. I think if it was told in the first person point of view I would have felt more entwined with Katie and her choices. Also, if it had been first person point […]
