The Sunshine Girls by Molly Fader

January 30, 2024January 26, 2024 michele

The Sunshine Girls is another historical fiction that was a winner for me! It's a story about friendship and takes place in the 60-70's. This one had me hooked and I flew through this one. This goes back and forth thru time to tell the story. In the present time frame, a famous movie star… Continue reading The Sunshine Girls by Molly Fader

The Island by Victoria Hislop

June 22, 2023June 21, 2023 michele

I thought the first half of this book was very slow and could have had 100 pages taken out. The last half of the book was amazing. If this wouldn't have been a book club book, I may have DNF'd this one, but I am glad I stuck with it. This was a slow burn.… Continue reading The Island by Victoria Hislop

Symphony of Secrets by Brendan Slocumb

April 21, 2023April 16, 2023 michele

If I were to classify Symphony of Secrets, this would be a musical mystery/thriller. If you like Brendan Slocumb's first novel, The Violin Conspiracy, this one is one to also a literary masterpiece. Slocumb writes a clever, talented, smart novel filled with musical references. You don't have to be Mozart to enjoy this one though.… Continue reading Symphony of Secrets by Brendan Slocumb
