BEFORE WE WERE YOURS BY LISA WINGATE
One of my favorite things to do is ‘learn’ while being entertained reading a book. I went into this novel not knowing what I was reading and glad the author made a note at the end. Although not based on one actual person or family, the author did a good job taking many stories and compiling…

THE UNMAKING OF JUNE FARROW BY ADRIENNE YOUNG

This is a beautiful story, paired with a beautiful cover and an even…

A wonderful, twisty, true crime novel that doesn’t surprise you, but entertains you none the less. I’ll dive right in to the positives with this book. I was pulled in immediately and quickly became obsessed. The characters felt complex, distinct and interesting for a reader. I didn’t expect the ending, but also I wasn’t…
