The Girl Who Was Taken

While I'm normally careful with my book purchases, especially for new authors, the rave reviews convinced me to take a chance when this title went on sale. Unfortunately, the book fell short of expectations.

It took a while to get invested in the story and characters. The perspective alternated between characters, primarily following medical examiner-in-training Livia. Her scenes were bogged down with excessive c... Read Full Review »

And Then You Were Gone

I have to say, I really enjoyed this book. For a debut novel, R.J. Jacobs did an incredible job. The pace was fast, and the narrator, who has bipolar disorder, was portrayed so well. You could really feel the internal struggle she faced. I couldn't quite connect with any of the characters, though. Maybe that was intentional. Overall, it was an interesting read. It didn't completely lose me, but I wasn't fully invested ... Read Full Review »

That Night

My favorite thing about this Amy Giles book is that it focuses on the aftermath of a shooting rather than the shooting itself. It doesn't dwell on the Monster or their reasons for committing such a terrible act. Instead, it delves into the lives of the survivors. It explores the struggles of those who managed to escape and the guilt they feel, as well as the pain of losing loved ones. This book is all about finding the... Read Full Review »

What She Left

A disappointing book from T.R. Richmond. I initially loved the idea of this book. I liked how the story was told from different points of view. I enjoyed that it was modern. But I could just not get into this book. The letters from Professor Cook were just too... I don't want to be confusing, but it didn't interest me, which is a problem as the story is mainly told from his perspective. Although the plot is intriguing,... Read Full Review »

Bon Bons to Yoga Pants

A well written Katie Cross book! Bon Bons to yoga pants was funny, engaging, and, most of all, relatable. Meet Lexie, an overweight girl in her 20s who has always turned to food instead of dealing with her emotions. Her dad died recently, her younger sister is getting married, and there's Bradley, her online crush, who hasn't seen anything but her face yet. Until he invites himself as her date for her sister's wedding.... Read Full Review »

The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry

Gabrielle Zevin's writing always surprises me. I rate a book 5 stars when it makes me go through different emotions, when it overwhelms me to the point that I feel the need to discuss it with others, or when it makes me stop and think for a bit, when it challenges me. The Storied Life of AJ Firky is great for book lovers. But it also makes you think. What would you do if you were in their shoes? It's definitely a book ... Read Full Review »
