A charming, touching, heartwarming story about found family in unexpected places. This was a feel-good story that also touched on heavy topics like bullying, marriage issues, ageism, loneliness and work stress, and all with such great humor. The cast of characters is so diverse that you wouldn't expect it to work as well as it… Continue reading Iona Iverson’s Rules for Commuting by Clare Pooley
“People think that intimacy is about sex. But intimacy is about truth. When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them bare and their response is 'you're safe with me'- that's intimacy.” This novel tells the story of the fictional Old Hollywood… Continue reading The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

But I've heard so much buzz lately about Storygraph that I think I am going to give it a 30 day trial to see if I would like that as well or more than Goodreads. Is it even possible for such a… Continue reading Goodreads vs. StoryGraph

It’s more like finding your way home—where home is a place you secretly hoped for, a place you imagined, but where you’d never before been.… Continue reading The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave
“She glimpsed, opening up in front of her, the possibility of a quite different life from the one she currently led, a far richer (in the cultural sense), more peopled life.” “Everything is material. And comedy equals tragedy plus time. Isn’t that how it goes?” This book jumps between the characters Laura, Miriam, Carla, Theo,… Continue reading A Slow Fire Burning by Paula Hawkins
This one reads like a literary mystery. How important can podcasts be in solving cold cases? Can one person's memory of a past event really hold the key to solving a case? Can adolescent memory be trusted? What if the person who should speak up, never does? These are all questions that I thought about… Continue reading I Have Some Questions For You by Rebecca Mekkai
This is the second book in The Housemaid series. I think this could be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading the first book before reading this one. This one is also a thriller, also has some of the same characters as book one, and also contains some great twists. Millie is back to… Continue reading The Housemaid’s Secret by Freida McFadden
