I Really enjoyed this book. It was well written and the Characters were good I recommend this book

This is an adventurous story of a young woman who lived in the early 1900's with her father. There is tragedy, love, and grit that makes this story a page-turner. Enjoy!

Two brothers and their wives share a 2 family house in Brooklyn. Rose and Mort have 3 daughters, while Helen and Abe have 4 sons; Mort longs for a son. Rose and Helen, who are extremely close, deliver their 4th and 5th babies on the same day, during the Great Blizzard of 1947. Rose has post-partum depression, so Helen steps in to help her and her family. Rose ends up resenting Helen, and refuses to spend time with her. The story goes through 23 years of life from the perspectives of Rose, Helen, Mort, Abe, and, later, that of 2 of the daughters. We see the differing impact various decisions and occurrences have on each of them. I highly recommend this book if you like character-driven stories.

This is such a wonderful book about family and the stories of childhood. The choices that were made 40 years ago and relationships in the present. Daphne meets up with someone she knew when she was a child and it made a big impact on her life. I don't want to give anything away. I listened to the audio book, read by the author.

Usually Reese’s book club picks are great and this book did not disappoint. AJ and Noah meet when Noah comes to live with his aunt when his mother is diagnosed with Huntington Disease. As AJ and Noah get to know each other a special bond is formed between them first as friends and then as true loves. When Noah finds out that genetically he will also have the same disease that ravaged his mother, he does everything in his power to stay away from AJ so that she can have a better life without him. Can they stay apart or is the love they have strong enough to withstand a full relationship. Read and find out.

I read this book because it was chosen by the Mystery Book Club. Not impressed.

FIVE by Ilona Bannister is a fascinating idea for a novel. Not what I expected. It started slowly and then I was able to follow the premise. It was mundane. It should have been better, which is why I gave it only 3 stars.

it was a train wreck the kind that you must watch (read) to see if it gets any worse. It did

The story is about two childhood best friends who grow up together on Nantucket Island. One poor and the other wealthy. There is love, secrets, and a very charming but deceitful man. Enjoy!

This is a really solid book. I liked Jewell's previous book "None of this is true". She makes the unreliable narrator trope very enjoyable. I liked the stories coming together and even the obvious reveals had their own twists and a (rare) satisfying ending. I would love to see more like this.
