I love books by Katherine Center. Typical Rom-Coms where there are 2 characters that get together, have a breakup, and then have a happy ending. This time, JoJo is at her wedding when a childhood friend shows up and she decides not to get married. Then her sister is getting married on a cruise ship and the friend is also there. She's trying to get together with someone who gave her a first kiss when they were younger. Lots of misadventures and fun with the family.

I really enjoyed Defy Me because it had a good mix of action, romance, and emotional moments. The story answered some questions from the earlier books while introducing new mysteries that kept me interested. I also liked getting to see different characters' points of view because it helped me understand them better. The ending was exciting and made me want to start the next book right away. Overall, I thought Defy Me was a fun and engaging read, and it's one of my favorite books in the series so far.

#26 in James Patterson 's Women's Murder Club series. Just as good as the previous 25 books. I'm always happy to read something that Patterson supposedly wrote on his own. This is one of his better series. If you're not already reading it, I strongly suggest you start with the first book.

A vivid recreation of pre-Holocaust shtetl life in Poland based on the many Yizkorbooks that were published after World War II. Poignant, moving, and ultimately very sad. It also describes the native Polish antisemitism of the 1930s -- so relevant to the rise of antisemitism in our own days. Recommended.

I had no idea what to expect from this book but it was so good! Crying over a Roomba was not on my itinerary.

In the affluent town of New Bethlehem, Connecticut where everyone and everything appear perfect, there are still flaws. Best friends Belle and Devon plan a swingers party by invitation only and the couple pairing, although made to look random were very much thought out and arranged. Greed, addictions, marriage problems, drugs, physical abuse and money cannot escape even the shiniest of towns. When Alex Hunter, New Bethlehem’s sweetheart and ex NFL quarterback is found murdered in his living room, the shocking truth is revealed. The story leading up to the reveal of the murderer is entertaining, but the big reveal at the end will surprise you. This book is a must read.

Couldn’t stop reading it!

This is the third book in the Chief Inspector Gamache series. I love this mystery series, which takes place in the small village of Three Pines. The characters are wonderful! In this book, a seance is held, in a house we know well, during which someone dies. Was it a natural death, or was it murder? If murder, who is the killer?

7/19/26 Slow to start, this book takes place on beautiful Balboa Island in California in 1956. Three women, with different problems come together over tennis. The story then takes off… they become friends and work together to solve each others problems; which because of the times , were secrets. I really enjoyed this story of female friendship and how it can transcend social expectations when you have the support of people around you!

A story about 4 generations of women. Running a construction company, renovating a book store, dealing with past traumas and addictions. And falling in love. It was an ok read.
