What fun! I will definitely be reading more of this historical fiction cozy series! Frances is an awesome character, bucking the norms of her time. She‘s recently widowed and decides to move and live independently, but it doesn‘t take long for her to get embroiled in a mystery, and the culprit may be one of her younger sister‘s suitors.

I had no idea what the hell was going on in this book, and I do love when that happens! I enjoyed the supernatural aspect, the homage to Rosemary‘s Baby, and how Unger made the apartment building seem like a character. Very atmospheric and twisty!

Loved this one! Margo is a character I immediately started rooting for. She‘s young and naive, but she tries to learn from her mistakes. Lots of character growth! This isn‘t a totally light read, as many heavy topics are addressed - addiction, sex work, and societal expectations for mothers among them. An overall great read!

Great book! Aside from the blatant sexism, I really enjoyed this. Elizabeth may be considered harsh and abrasive by some, but I thought she was a great character!

Olivia, an elderly former soap star, asks her daughter Rachel, to drive her to Memphis to see Graceland one more time. Rachel refuses because she‘s vowed to never to return to Memphis after leaving when she was 18. Olivia then ropes her 16
y/o granddaughter, Dylan, into the trip, promising to uncover the truth behind a lie Rachel has been telling Dylan her whole life. This was good, fun family dysfunction!

I don‘t get the big deal about this book. It started off well but then it dragged. The premise is great though, and weirdly, I wanted Raskolnikov to get away with it! 😂 I didn‘t totally hate this book but I didn‘t love it either. I am glad to say that now I‘ve read this classic!

I forgot to post this yesterday 🤪, but there‘s just no way I can pick one favorite book from last year! I picked this book as a standout because it was a total #blameitonlitsy read (I‘m not much of a fantasy kinda girl) and I ended up loving it. Going outside my comfort zone paid off in this case!

#25alive #favebk24

Such a great book…a must-read IMO. This is a reread for me, so this time I opted for the audiobook.
