GOLDEN GIRL BY ELIN HILDERBRAND
I always go into a Hilderbrand book with anopen mind but realistic that I might not enjoy it. It’s a 50/50 chance for me. I started out with a big eye roll when I realized we were going into the … ‘super natural’. My overall feeling is this book is boring and drawn out to give…

THE CARTOGRAPHERS BY PENG SHEPHERD
I just finished The Cartographers this morning and I feel I should chill out before writing this review, but here I am writing a review with all the fresh, raw emotions spread all over me. To start off, this was a good idea. I adore that it was about a real situation, I love that the author used the real…

THE ONLY ONE LEFT BY RILEY SAGER
Let’s start this review off by saying, I’m a Riley Sager mega fan. Now, let’s talk book. If I had to describe this book in one word the answer would be ‘messy’. The overall plot… messy. The ‘setups’ to try to confuse the reader were … silly, coincidental and unbelievable. There were so many holes…

ANXIOUS PEOPLE BY: FREDRIK BACKMAN

GWENDY’S MAGIC FEATHER BY: RICHARD CHIZMAR, STEPHEN KING
Can this even be considered a book? This book was frustrating. It is ‘endorsed’ by Stephen King .. so you immediately think – well this can’t be that bad. The first book was co-written by King and Chizmar. King started it, couldn’t finish and then let Chizmar work through it. The second book is written…

BEAUTIFUL WORLD, WHERE ARE YOU BY: SALLY ROONEY
I can already hear all the critics praising this profound novel and then I think … did they even read it? I will admit I did not read Normal People but I did watch the Hulu adaptation of it and found it was enjoyable. I now see how Rooney was able to make a series out of her books.…
