FOREVER, INTERRUPTED BY TAYLOR JENKINS REID
TJR’s first book! I didn’t even realize that I picked up this golden debut until I did my after-reading, before-review research. Now – I can totally see how this is the first book and TJR has certainly improved her craft since then. This story is all about grief. Is this the best written book I…

THE HACIENDA BY ISABEL CAÑAS
There are many different ways to view this book. You could take it too seriously and go deep into the history. You could hit it with all the points of what a true ‘Mexican Gothic’ story should be.

Interesting… what an interesting word. What does that even mean? Everything I liked about the book, I also disliked. I liked…

CARRIE SOTO IS BACK BY TAYLOR JENKINS REID
TJR is one of my favorite authors and Carrie Soto Is Back is a great example as to why. Why tennis? Who cares about sports? Who would ever read a book with play by play of a sporting event? Answer, no one… well, no one unless TJR is writing it. This is the magic of…
