Fleishman is in Trouble

So, I chose this book because it made a lot of the “Best Books of 2019” lists and received some significant hype. I just finished it and can’t decide how I really feel about it yet. The book is broken down into 3 sections and I loved the shift that came at the 3rd section.… Continue reading →

The Good Daughter – Karin Slaughter

And enter my introduction to Karin Slaughter… I can’t believe it took me this long to read one of her books! I am now a big fan! The Good Daughter is a well written crime drama with a strong female lead character. The book starts back in time and tells the story of a traumatic… Continue reading →

The One by John Marrs

Wow! This book is really great. I stumbled upon the recommendation from a Book club online group and read it had been extremely successful in the UK. The book takes place in a world where almost every single person has been “matched” by their DNA to their perfect person. Some people love it, some hate… Continue reading →

Maybe you Should Talk to Someone- Lori Gottlieb

This book had some really mixed reviews online, but I’m glad I chose to give it a chance. I really enjoyed this book and I really enjoyed the look into therapy! I would categorize this book as part memoir, part insightful tip- like book. The book follows Lori in present day as she goes through… Continue reading →

Mrs. Everything by Jennifer Weiner

This book follows the lives of two sisters, Jo and Bethie, from their youth through adulthood. The book started a bit slow for more but progressively gained steam. I really enjoyed the last half of the book and thought all of the characters were wonderfully developed. The writing was excellent and purposely wove a great… Continue reading →

Where the Crawdads sing

Okay, woah. This book is a yes. At the start of this book, I almost put it down because I really wasn’t into the swamp/nature theme and intense descriptions of the wildlife. The writing was excellent, just swamp wildlife isn’t my vibe. However, the story picked up and I decided to keep reading… and now,… Continue reading →

Maybe in Another Life- Taylor Jenkins Reid

I’m a huge Taylor Jenkins Reid fan, as one of my favorite books is The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, so I was super excited to finally get my hands on this novel. I loved it and I loved the characters, I felt like I knew them and they were so well described. The book… Continue reading →

The Year of Less- Cait Flanders

The year of less : how i stopped shopping, gave away my belongings, and discovered life is worth more than anything you can buy in a store So this book was a bit different than I expected, but I really enjoyed it. I was expecting more of a “how to” book, but the book reads… Continue reading →

I liked my Life- Abby Fabiaschi

Wow, I really loved this book. From the get go, I knew it was a book about a woman who surprisingly commited suicide, leaving her family to wonder what in the world had happened. I dove right into it because I was super intrigued by the narrator, Maddy, the woman telling the story after death.… Continue reading →

Life will be the Death of me- Chelsea Handler

I enjoyed this book, but it was much different than I expected. I was expecting a humorous book weaved full of stories that would make me laugh. Instead, I got a very introspective look into Chelsea Handler’s life with a handful of laughs. I thought I would laugh more, but instead the book takes a… Continue reading →

Stories I only tell my Friends- Rob Lowe

I love non fiction, especially autobiography style books. I always find it interesting to be able to take a peek inside of someone else’s world and learn about their story. Rob Lowe’s autobiography, Stories I only tell my Friends, was entertaining and enjoyable. It was a good read. Not my favorite ever, mostly because I… Continue reading →

The Lost Man- Jane Harper

This novel was superbly written. The detail and characters were excellent. The story itself was sort of a “Who dunnit”, with a death early on and the remaining characters left to figure out what happened. I was intrigued to read and find out what happened to the brother who died, but I had trouble connecting… Continue reading →

The Bride Test & The Two Lila Bennetts

I paired these two books together as one review, but I can’t say I loved either novel. Since both were chosen off of recommendations from other readers, I have to say I’m disappointed. The Bride Test started out as what I thought would be a cute story, but just never picked up steam. They focused… Continue reading →

Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah

My first Kristin Hannah novel and it won’t be my last! I enjoyed this book, I wouldn’t say it was my favorite that I’ve read lately, but I felt super involved in the story and wanted to know what would happen between the two women. The novel really explores friendship and how far we will… Continue reading →

Vanderpump Vegas

Here are some pictures from the new Vanderpump restaurant in Las Vegas! The ambiance is great and of course, it’s decorated SUPER cute, but I was surprised the food was actually great too!

My Oxford Year by Julia Whelan

WOW!!! This is my favorite book I’ve read all Summer! I picked it up after a recommendation and only lightly glanced over the description. So I did not see the story going in the direction it did. However, without giving anything away, I thought the actual writing was better than the story itself. There was… Continue reading →
