The Woman In Suite 11

book cover


Great sequel to another great book, The Woman in Cabin 10 which I read when it first came out. I had to find a synopsis of the book to remember the plot. The Woman in Suite 11 picks up 10 years later. I'm a big fan of Ruth Ware. If you like mysteries/thrillers, you'll most likely love her books as well.

The Perfect Divorce

book cover


I wish I had read The Perfect Marriage in this series first. It didn’t spoil this otherwise standalone book, but I would have had some great background to add richness to the novel. I loved the cover of this book, and the creative way the sides of the book were made to look like they were smeared in blood. I was actually reading it at the oral surgeon’s office, so it made quite a stir. Anyway, this is Sarah’s second marriage. She has one daughter. She has an interesting backstory with her previous husband; he was accused of murder she defended him she lost, and he was eventually executed. She has now served her second husband of 10 years with divorce papers, as he was caught cheating on her. He would like forgiveness and to stay married. Not a chance! The story follows the complications around this divorce and the havoc it wreck's, in other people’s lives, including murder and kidnapping. and the reopening of her former husband’s case in light of new evidence. Enjoy the ride!

Fiona Davis is my favorite author. I enjoy all her historical fiction novels especially this one because it involves the archaeological digs in Egypt which I find intriguing.

The Names
by Florence Knapp
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Women’s Fiction spanning thirty five years. The author put a good deal of thought and effort in writing this book. (Hence the two stars) It was easy to get lost and confused as names changed and time periods jumped around. For example: Bear was also Julian and Gordon. It takes place in London, Ireland, Africa, Italy, and Paris, I believe. Not sure if the author was exploring the possible opportunities for a baby boy born in 1984 or the ravages of wife abuse, or the confused experiences of a young daughter. As I started the book, iwasrecommending it to friends who have experienced wife abuse and survived. Then I had to call back and tell them not to waste their time.

Destroy Me
by Tahereh Mafi
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This novella is from Warner’s point of view after the events of the first book: Shatter Me. I gave this book three stars not because I don’t like it but because there wasn’t anything crazy out of the ordinary about it and I think that had to do with the fact that I read the first three books and then came back to read this novella. I feel like it also got repetitive at times. I really enjoyed it in the sense that we get to see Warner’s feelings after he portrays himself as a tough bad guy in the first book. I think if you really want an element of newness, you should read it directly after the first book when we don’t know so much about Warner from the next books already. However, even though I read it after the first three books, I still enjoyed back tracking and getting to experience the events from the end of Shatter Me and beginning of Unravel Me and everything in between from Warner’s perspective. We also get to see bits from Juliette’s journal that is spoken about in Shatter Me and of course Mafi’s writing and use of similes and metaphors are excellent. It makes you feel the character’s pain.

The Griffin Sisters' Greatest Hits

book cover


Jennifer Weiner has written an okay story in THE GRIFFIN SISTERS' GREATEST HITS. However I found the telling of it very slow and repetitious.

They have both done things that have badly hurt each others and a host of other people along the way. Can they reconnect and finally have their happy ending? Read the book if you want to know ...
