Let Me Lie | Clare Mackintosh

Solid 7/10, the pacing was what really sunk it for me. I wanted it to keep me engaged more. A couple of twists would have helped

This one is a solid 7/10. Not what you‘d expect and very satisfying. Quality characters and excellent plot. Good suspense if you‘re into the lives of the rich and famous

Solid 8/10. A little scattered and partially unbelievable especially at the end. However still kept me on my toes and enjoyed it. Read it in a day

That Summer: A Novel | Jennifer Weiner

Great hook, great concept. Fell a little flat at the end with the resolution, but overall a good read. Easy to pass the time with. Trigger warning: contains assault

Under One Roof | Ali Hazelwood

Cute concept but literally was no arc and felt like a glorified fan fiction

Was gripping and kept me anticipating next twists, but lacked in character connection. Plot ended too abruptly. Wanted more

I really expected more from this one. It seemed too obvious. There weren‘t as many twists as I‘d have liked. Overall kind of a dull read

The Hunting Party | Lucy Foley

Great suspense. Didn‘t connect with any characters extremely well but was definitely kept on edge the whole time. It was a surprise ending. Wanted more on how everyone turned out in the end

The Book of Two Ways | Jodi Picoult

Started off slow, but really picked up towards the middle. Intriguing, heart wrenching. Solid 7/10. Will never be a favorite but very deep and very thought provoking

Excellent read. Cute but there‘s a deep heart in it. I didn‘t want it to end.

Play Dead | Ted Dekker
Mehso-so

The writing was amazing like Dekker usually is. However this one lacked continuity and a conclusive ending. The ending was confusing and I‘m still not sure what the message was. That being said, I did connect with the characters

Lullaby | Leïla Slimani

This was one that was beautifully written but felt incomplete. Felt like things were missing or left out. Well crafted though. A solid 6/10

This was a solid 7/10 thriller. Kind of unpredictable which was nice but I wanted more depth and substance. Still entertaining and worth the read

Carrie | Stephen King

Was this book traumatic? Yes. Was it scary? Kind of. Out of all the phycological thrillers I‘ve read, I really expected such a famous book to be better.

The Cousins | Karen M. Mcmanus
Mehso-so

After loving the other books - One of us is Lying, One of Us is Next, I was disappointed by this one. Too many characters and jumping back and forth, choppy plot line, too many unfilled holes. Not a bad book but not a good one either.

Regretting You | Colleen Hoover

This was a Rollercoaster from start to finish. Dramatic yet genuine and honest. Funny and heartbreaking. Highly recommend.

Meet Me in Paradise | Libby Hubscher

This book was an easy cute read until about 2/3rd through. Then it jumped from about a 6 to a strong 8 out of 10 for me. Loved the writing style and how connected I felt to the characters.

Could not stand this one. Truly didn‘t understand the point even at the end, only finished because it was a book club book, but it was brutal. Had to skim. Tough to read writing style, didn‘t care about the characters.

Mother May I: A Novel | Joshilyn Jackson

Kept me turning the pages quicker and quicker. Didn‘t want to stop reading so I could find out what happens next. Started out slow but about 3-4 chapters in it really picked up. Lots of surprises I wasn‘t expecting.

The Good Sister: A Novel | Sally Hepworth
Mehso-so

One of the more twisted books I‘ve read recently. I wasn‘t into it to begin with but it really grabbed me near the middle. Solid 6.8/10 pick if you‘re looking for something unsettling and mysterious. Also improved my understanding of sensory processing issues as a side bonus.

Different from my usual read, but very informative and interesting. A great gift for any fan of The Office! Not quick, but enjoyable and memorable… (That‘s what she said)

One of Us Is Next | Karen M. Mcmanus
Mehso-so

Not as good as the first in the series but still a decent pick. Finished it in a day. Wanted more believability in the characters. Also felt like there were too many characters to keep up with that we weren‘t connected enough to follow

One Of Us Is Lying | Karen McManus
Pickpick

So nice to get back to a thrill type book! Still teen YA-type, but good suspense. Wasn‘t expecting the ending, and could‘ve been a better ending, but not a disappointing read. The writing kept me reading and wanting to turn the page

Wow such a good read! Perfect poolside book, but also one you won‘t want to put down. Truly addictive. Started off just sweet and quirky and then quickly turned into something I was deeply emotionally invested in. Cannot recommend enough

Cool for the Summer | Dahlia Adler

While I loved the genuineness of the characters in this book, the overall writing was a little cliche. It was a sweet easy read. Really relatable. Liked it just couldn‘t bring myself to love it.

Perks of Being a Wallflower | Stephen Chbosky
Mehso-so

Read this one cause despite the hype, I‘ve never read it before. Made me uncomfortable to read and maybe that was the point. I appreciate the effort to cover really tough topics from a young perspective. However, it‘s really not super believable and slightly cliche. Kind of enjoyed reading it but really just wanted to get through it.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book! The modern side felt a bit underdeveloped, but the older sections were very interesting. I wanted to know more about the characters. However, overall a very enjoyable read. Would recommend.

Honestly one of my fav reads. Hot, yet sweet, and emotionally deep read. I wanted more. Could‘ve even used more about main characters backstories. But such a solid book.
