The story within the story is what made me give this 5 stars. The mystery involved in Margaret Ives's life really kept me enthralled. There is romance but the love shared within Alice's and Margaret's lives are bigger than any romance. Emily Henry brought home the bigger message that life is about loving, sharing love and how we take care of those we love.

Two strangers meet in a London airport, but are they really strangers? She has secrets. He is unhappy. It all leads to murder. The book was ok, but not great.

I loved the ending to this major story arc!

A book out of my typical Genre. An Allegory. Lessons of Life taught by the sun and the moon to a young boy, through storytelling. There is also an overall plot. Very short book. Interesting. Sort of like Aesop’s Fables. Well written, made me emotional at times. Felt that the author was in some way reflecting on the times we are living through. Glad I read it, not sure if it is for everybody.

Very interesting story around a true event about a flying race across the Pacific Ocean from California to Hawaii.

Normally not my type of reading interest and the intimate scene was a little too explicit.

I really enjoyed this book about family relationships. It was a nice look into a close italian family relationship and how they support one another. The relationship between Jess and Leo is inspiring. I liked having the setting in beautiful Italy and hearing the many descriptions of Italian, delicious food.

This book was a great book to read if you want to be in a fantastical town that is very much like your own town. Vivian and Daniel find themselves in a new town but not any town. It is a town full of magical people. When their daughter was “accidentally” turned into a werewolf by the wayward son of the richest and most powerful werewolf family in the area,Vivian and Daniel most learn how to fit into the mages world wild trying to figure out how to handle their daughter, Aria’s, ability to turn into a wolf. With a pushy PTA, a missing money scandal and the coming of The Reckoning, can Vivian survive her new life and still make friends in her community? This was a fun read that you can really compare to your days of volunteering in the PTA.

This retelling of the Iliad from the point of view of a female Trojan captive has an interesting concept but I felt it went on way too long.

This is the sequel to The Woman in Cabin 10. It starts out with you thinking you made a mistake and are reading the same book again. Then it goes on with some twists and turns but it takes forever to get to those. Very slow and by the time you get to the end, you don't even really care anymore. Disappointing.
