This book is an adult romance novel about Harriet and Wyn, who have been the “perfect couple”, but they break up. However, they still pretend they are dating because they don’t want to ruin their friends’ last trip at the cottage. I give this book a three out of five stars because it was a good read. I didn’t hate it, but it was not exactly my type of read. For an adult romance, the problems and fights that the characters had felt very teenager like arguments. I liked the friendship dynamic and how there were multiple characters all with their own internal problems so overall it was a good read, just not my favorite.

This is the fourth book in The Thursday Murder Club Mystery series. The club consists of a group of friends who live in a retirement community and solve murder cases together. This book has a more somber tone than the first three books, which, despite being about murders, were quite funny. Besides dealing with murder, this book has a lot to say about Alzheimer’s and its effect on the individual, caregivers, and friends.

Glory is quite a character and is determined to find out who murdered her friend. It was a fun read.

This book was just what I needed for a summer read, light and breezy. Twin Olive announces to her very close family that she and her fiancé are going to elope in Hawaii so not to remind her sister, Amelia, of her failed marriage. The family plans to surprise the couple in Hawaii with a full blown wedding. Ami and her cousin Diego set off early to start the preparations. Ami is forced to plan the wedding with charismatic best man Brody and eventually they like each other. Was this whole elopement a ruse to get Ami out of her rut. Read and find out. I also recommend the audiobook, it is read with multiple actors and sound effects.

20 year old Hal, was drowning in debt after her mother’s death. A glimmer of a hope came to her in the form of a letter of a lost inheritance. She thinks they have the wrong person, but she needed the money, so what is a person to do?

The descriptions are very vivid in this fast pace, murder mystery that involves the White House

Trapped in a terrifying marriage with two young daughters, and a baby on the way, Ciara knows that she and her children are no longer safe in their home. Her husband is cruel, and although he has not become physical, he is emotionally torturing her. While she has been thinking about it for a while, she impetuously leaves when one evening taking the children. Things become impossible. From here on, the book describes her attempt to leave, navigating the impossible bureaucracy, the challenging housing market, being penniless, with children, being unable to work, and being tormented by her husband, as she tries to navigate the situation and keep her children safe, and regain control of their lives. Along the way she encounters the good, the bad and the ugly. Friendships blossom; professionals try to help. The mean stay mean. An emotional rollercoaster, an insider’s look into the difficulty of “leaving”. A good attempt at exposing of how difficult it can be for a woman, especially with children to leave a marriage. A look at the practical as well as the emotional.

I loved how much tension and emotion built up between Conrad and Belly, but when it finally came together it felt too rushed. So much time was spent on other relationships that I was left wanting more of their quieter, meaningful moments. As a Team Conrad reader, I just wanted more of their happiness after all the drama. I would honestly read another book just to get those missing pieces, and I really hope the Amazon Prime streaming show gives us more of that side of their story.

This is a young adult fantasy book that revolves around a group of six “friends” that go on a heist. I loved this book! Five out of five stars! It was so good. It is a little confusing because the book is written assuming the reader knows background of the world, however I did not read the Shadow and Bone trilogy before this. However, it is not difficult to catch on with the help of google and reading on. The author did a really good job, in my opinion, writing the characters and showing their growth and development. It’s also very nice how the author writes the friendships and relationships. I love the characters and feel the emotion. Beautifully written! Definitely recommend to fantasy fanatics.

It took me a little while to get into the book but once I did I really enjoyed it. The book had a very interesting premise and the characters were very likable. My biggest complaint about the book was some of her language But even with that I do recommend the book
