I enjoyed this book very much. It was a quick and easy read. The book followed the journey of a woman throughout her marriage and the troubles they faced. It also had different perspectives chapter to chapter with the 2 sides being her point of view and her husband's. I will be looking for additional books to read by this author as I felt it was well written.

The Vera Wong books are so enjoyable, especially as audiobooks. I wish I had a Vera in my life (and yet, I also really don't... you'll understand when you read them!) This sequel may have been even better than the first one, which is hard to do. I hope we're gifted a 3rd book in the series soon!

I really enjoyed this historical fictional novel with the backdrop of the beach at Martha’s Vineyard. They were all interesting characters and the author’s note is very interesting to see how the author tied it to history and her own life.

Lenni is a 17 year old who has spent much time in the hospital with a terminal illness. She meets 83 year old Margot, and they develop a deep friendship. In order to leave something of themselves behind, they decide to create an art project that describes one thing from each year of their lives, which together total 100 years. Along the way we learn about each of their histories, and the close relationships Lenni develops with Margaret and with the hospital chaplain, despite not sharing his religious beliefs.

Happy Wife, by Meredith Lavender Young 28-year-old woman marries 46-year-old wealthy gentleman, following his divorce from his wife.

They seem happy, but following their marriage, she becomes a “work widow”. Then, no surprise, he goes missing. Explores marriage wealth and the secrets behind closed doors.

An emotional read, with insights into the meaning of friendships, the bonds we make with others, and the process of grieving. A shout out to Art Therapy.

This was an enjoyable and funny mystery that kept me guessing. Dana, our heroine, is a 29 year old unemployed actress who gets a gig hosting a program for the Shopping Network. On her first day, another star host is found dead. Lots of false leads and romance with two men. A very entertaining novel!

Mallory Quinn, fresh out of rehab and recovery from a recent tragedy, has taken a job as a nanny for an affluent couple living in the upscale suburb of Spring Brook, New Jersey, when a series of strange events start to make her ( and her employer) question her own sanity. Teddy, the precocious and shy 5-year old she's charged with watching, seems to be haunted by a ghost who channels his body to draw pictures that are far too complex and well-formed for such a young child. At first these drawings are rather typical, but then the illustrations take a dark turn, showcasing the details of a gruesome murder.

Very nice Light summer read.

I really loved this. I am already a big Sager fan. But I liked that this novel changed his usual formula. Normally Sager's books involve someone in an old house or area, figuring out an old mystery from their past. But in this case, this was all about knowing what happened and searching for revenge/justice. There were also the usual twists. Some were predictable (one especially so), but some were unexpected and none of them detracted to the story. It can be difficult to read a train mystery without thinking of the Orent Express but I loved this story as it showed the different ways we look for justice.
