Very good. Full of romance and drama. It is a very loose retelling of Wuthering Heights with ice dancing. I didn't think I would enjoy it as I don't know much about the world of Ice dancing but that is just the backdrop to this story and my lack of knowledge didn't spoil the story, to be honest I actually learnt lots about the subject as the author's knowledge shone through in the wonderful writing.#Vintage

Good. The writing style is a bit weird but if you just go with it then you will be rewarded with a powerful story about motherhood and how it affects women and how we need to reclaim our identity after becoming mothers.

I say all mothers need to release their inner Nightbitch

Good. Follows the story of how a pope is elected. Full of twists and turns especially the one at the end that I didn't see coming.

Good. Follows the adventures of a flight attendant who starts the story in the wrong place at the wrong time and how it affects her life and everything/everyone around her.

Good. Shows some insight into the films that made her famous as well as telling her life story. The first few chapters were hard to read as she came off brash but I stuck with it and it got better.

Good. Very informative and impressive but also important to women to read because it shows how we have evolved. The chapters are done in a clever way as they take an aspect of a woman's life/body function and tell the evolution of that rather than just chapter 1,2 etc. Even though I enjoyed it and it was mainly very readable sometimes I did get bogged down in the scientific language at times.

Good. Story about two people trying to get a job writing an old socialite's biography. The old socialite gives me Evelyn Hugo vibes which I enjoyed. I enjoyed this book incredibly but it felt like I was taken out of the story when you were being told the socialite's story which jarred a little bit for me.

Very good. Full of romance. Josie Silver just keeps on getting better with every book. This story follows Kate who takes on the role of an author as the actual author doesn't want to be associated with the book. Shows the highs and lows of social media. Full of bookish goodness. Thank you #PenquinRandomHouse for the free copy via #Netgalley.

Good. Even though the characters are hard to relate to, the connection between them all is interesting to read. Connected by an event in their lives you get to see how it affects them all and how they deal with it.
