EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING BY NICOLA YOON
This was a cute story – felt short and read through the book quickly. I feel like I’ve read a version of this story a few different times, a few different ways, so when it comes to the plot… it didnt feel special. It was very predictable. The story itself is 3 stars. It’s ‘too’ short. The…

56 DAYS BY CATHERINE RYAN HOWARD
I read this entire book on my day off – not because it was ‘that’ good, but because I wanted to. Take what you want from that sentence and let’s continue on with the review. This book was easy reading. It switched back and forth from past (56 days ago.. but sometimes.. 67 days ago!)…

CREATIVE ADVENTURING: A FIELD GUIDE FOR AN INSPIRED LIFE BY JONATHAN BITZ
A cute ‘how to’ parent book. Although I don’t have kids, I appreciated the advice Bitz gives. To summarize, it feels like he is telling parents to be chill but adventurous. I loved it.

DON’T LET GO BY HARLAN COBEN

THE HOUSEMAID BY FREIDA MCFADDEN
This was an interesting one for me. I didn’t hate it. It had all the pieces of a great puzzle, more importantly, all the pieces of a great thriller. There were twists, surprises and it came together in a pretty little bow at the end. This is a solid 3.5 to 4 star book. I believe most…

This was an interesting one for me. It was different – which is great. I don’t feel there are many books like this – so first of all, congrats to the author for finding a place to be original. The book itself felt real. The whole thing felt like it was something that could happen in…
