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.

I was really impressed. I never got to read this book in high school, and I am glad I got to it now. It was a little disjointed, but I realized that is what made it work. It was half story, half memoir, and it made it very interesting and feel authentic. I still do not understand the point of the time travel and alien encounters, but I liked the book overall and am curious to read more of his work.

Awesome Read. If you like the twists and turns that Freida McFadden uses in her book, you will love this read.

CLAIRE DARLING by Callie Kazumi is the story of a young woman in love. The setting is London, England; the style is a mixture of personal narrative and introspection; the time frame is a back and forth between the here and now and Claire's childhood. Not giving anything away - the first sentence on the fly leaf says "this is a story of obsession, love and murder..." - the reader is taken on a wild journey with many twists and turn. An enjoyable read, if somewhat predictable...

Great book! Nora and her sister Libby go on a reconnect vacation to Sunshine, N Carolina. While there, Libby makes a list of everything they must accomplish before vacation is over. While there Nora meets Charlie, her nemesis from NYC. As they spend more time together, Nora and Charlie become the romantic couple that can never be together… or can they? I recommend this quick, fun read.

This non-fiction book tells the story of Elizabeth Packard. She is a woman I have never heard of but should have. Sane women are institutionalized by their husbands on whims including Elizabeth. She fought to get back rights for her and others caught in this situation . The story is at times tedious but I am glad I learned about this formidable woman.

The book was good but I thought it was too long. I think she could have told the same story in fewer page

I my never ride a train again and that is the only spoiler. Most definitely worth the read. I was so engrossed that I was almost late for work, and I work from home. With A Vengeance by Riley Saeger is Not a perfect 5 stars but really close. By the way, don't keep guessing, just keep reading.

I really enjoyed the beginning of this biography, but it slowed significantly later on. Dani was raised in an orthodox Jewish family. As an adult, she takes a DNA test and discovers that her biological father was not Jewish. This completely alters her image of herself, and she proceeds to investigate how it is possible that her dad is not her biological father, and her parents, no longer alive, never told her. It turns out that she was conceived in the early time of artificial insemination, when little was known about it. She attempts to find family who can help her understand her history, and to find her biological father. Add a star or 2 if you or someone close to you has an unknown parent.

An exciting , emotional novel which switches back and forth between 1980 and 1984. It tells the story of Dr. Joan Goodwin, an astronomy professor who is among the first women accepted into NASA's astronaut training program. We follow her through her intense training, as she forms deep friendships with her fellow trainees. Four years later, she is the voice of NASA at mission control in Houston as the unexpected happens involving her friends during a space shuttle mission.
