Zoe and Cassie Griffin were once very close, but twenty years ago became estranged. They were both members of a rock band and an incident occurred one night which fractured their relationship. The book weaves the past and present together skillfully as we gradually learn what happened. The themes are sisterhood and forgiveness. Realistic and satisfying ending.

I enjoyed this thriller. I was not a fan of the main character but I did enjoy the ending which I usually don’t with Thrillers.

If you loved Mad Men, this gives you that same 1960s New York vibe but with a strong woman at the center. Watching Alice step into Helen Gurley Brown’s world at Cosmo is such a fun ride. Fashion, ambition, drama -- total escape reading.

I enjoyed the first one more because of the comedic aspect of it, but the second one was just as steamy. It was an old friends-ish to lovers trope.

Everett dives into the very heart of Twain's Epochal odyssey, shifting the central view point from that of the unschooled , often credulous , but basically good-hearted Huck to the more enigmatic and heroic Jim, the Black slave with whom the boy escapes via raft on the Mississippi River.

Like other Freida Mcfadden books I was left on the edge of my seat waiting for the twist. I find myself trying to figure out what the twist will ultimately be, but with Mcfadden's books I am always surprised and excited in the end.

This is a nice non-fiction book about Abigail and John Adams. Telling the story of their lives, getting some information from letters and journals.

This book sat on my shelf for too long but Phoebe and the Wedding People will stay with me even longer. This quickly has become my favorite book of the year. It centers around Phoebe and how for one weekend she decides to splurge one last time on herself at a ritzy hotel in Rhode Island. She has hit rock bottom and to her, her life is over but then she meets the bride and the rest of the Wedding People. Pros: Espach did an excellent job of weaving an intricate story of tough subjects with humor. The characters were all likeable and relatable. I also thought that the book flowed nicely. There were also multiple moments in the novel where I laughed out loud. Cons: It was a little slow in the beginning but very quickly you become invested in the story.

I didn’t care for this book, I think it made light of serious topics like depression and suicide
