I loved the formatting and writing style, the back and forth between past and present helps build suspense… BUT I found the story easy to guess and almost anti-climactic. The story follows two women who are childhood friends that… Continue reading →

Alternate Side- Anna Quindlen

With that being said, the writing is great- I just wasn’t interested in this particular story line. This is the description that made me interested in reading the novel: “The tensions… Continue reading →
