Sweet Home Cowboy | Marin Thomas
Pickpick

This book was a deviation from my usual picks. I'm not a fan of western romances but this story was super cute and I'm glad I stepped out of my reading comfort zone. Great summertime read! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5

Chemistry | Weike Wang

I though Chemistry was uniquely written. The characters were nameless and referred to as 'the best friend', 'the shrink', 'the lab partner', etc, with the exception of Eric, the unnamed main character's boyfriend. The format was diary-like so it read quick. I enjoyed the unnamed character's coarse humour. The ending was abrupt and I would have liked more info on where the main character ended up. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5

Anyone care to share their thoughts?

The People We Hate at the Wedding is scores of family dynamics and dysfunction. It was like watching an upper echelon reality show chock-full of painful moments and endless entertainment.
My favourite character is Paul. He drinks a lot, is full of ups, downs and pure drama – likely from imbibing too often! I got a chuckle out of his shenanigans throughout the story. You can read my full review on my blog.

The Fourth Monkey | J. D. Barker

The Fourth Monkey is portrayed as a cross between Se7en and Silence of the Lambs. Unfortunately, this book has none of those attributes. It did not check off those typical suspense / thriller checkboxes for me.
The plot was weak – typical serial killer situation but the killer is already dead at the opening of the book. The part that really turned me off was the 4MK diary. I found it totally absurd. Catch my full review on my blog.

Beartown: A Novel | Fredrik Backman

Pickpick

This book can be summarized in one word: POWERFUL! Beartown instilled emotion in me that made my heart want to explode from page one. Backman transported me into a place where I could feel the pain of every resident who inhabited Beartown, flailing on the cusp of survival but longing for so much more. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5

I love the unnamed character's deadpan humour!
