This book was super fun and light hearted. Not the type I typically read but a welcomed break! It was a little racier than a Hallmark movie, but generally the same plot line.
I read this book in almost one sitting. It is so twisted & dark that it just drags you in. The moment you think you understand the sisters, you‘re caught by surprise. So entertaining & a mindless read that will leave you thinking!
A young Black boy is charged for a crime he was unaware of committing & sent to a reform school, where he & all the boys are horribly abused. I had times when I could hardly keep reading - knowing this was a real place & only one of many that existed. “He'd started his day in his old life and ended it here” reminds me all too much of today‘s events. A must read to open your eyes even more to injustice so deeply rooted in our nation‘s history.
This book took me a while to get into, and a lot of convincing myself to keep reading. Once I got into it, it was good! It‘s a tale about a girl who made a deal with the devil and lives for 300 years, only no one can remember her for more than a first introduction. Lots of sadness and then hope through a love story. It‘ll make you think and realize how quickly time passes & how we all just want to leave our mark on this earth.
Having a mother who is a hoarder myself, I found this book to be very relatable. You are drawn into the family‘s story and I found it to be quite interesting. As most families have dark histories, you find out bit by bit what transpired over the years. Overall, a good read!
This book reminded me of a Hallmark movie. Definitely not my typical read, but yet I kept wanting to keep going rather than put it down. It‘s a tale of a secret love & a life that could‘ve been. I loved the setting of the hideaway, which is whimsical & makes you want to be there.
We need you. We need the wounded, we need the limping, we need the hurting, we need the broken and messy— you are us. We need to cup your tears, to water hard and crushed places, or there‘s no growth in the kingdom of God. We need your raw story or we lose any hope of the redemptive Story. We need to hold your broken heart or we have no heart. ... It is the broken ones who put us back together again.
I was actually on the edge of my seat here & very interested in what happened at this hen party. The characters felt real, the plot felt close & it was a page turner for sure. Slightly predictable ending, but nonetheless a good read.
This book took me a while to get into, but once I did, I found myself so engulfed in the characters‘ lives and stories that I wanted to know more & more. It was a difficult read at times because of the painful reality the women faced in the concentration camp, but beautiful told. It portrayed the woman as strong & brave, as they had no choice but to endure such harsh circumstances for years. I especially appreciated the photos in the end.
Despite everyone‘s love of this book and the fact that it was such an easy read, I didn‘t really get into Rachel Hollis‘ tone. I didn‘t finish it.
One of the best thrillers I‘ve read. I loved Gillian Flynn‘s writing style and really felt the eeriness of the small town where the murder investigation occurs. Bonus, you can watch the amazing HBO series after.
This book constantly had me in suspense, hooked all the way through. The chapters are short, always making you long to read just a bit more. Throughout the whole book, the psychotherapist must try to get Alicia, the silent patient to speak, and when she does the ending is nothing I ever expected.
Wow, this book draws you in to their little town life, and really has a lot of layers to it. It touches a lot on racism and inequities in America from life experiences many of us can relate to. I was rather disappointed in the ending but probably just because it was more realistic than idealistic as I‘d hoped.
This book kept me hooked, turning the pages fast. I was drawn in, and there were a few twists I didn‘t expect.
I enjoyed this book, but found it a little slow moving.
I almost felt wrong reading this book. I was drawn in, couldn‘t put it down, but could hardly stand reading about this twisted marriage. It was a serious page turner & also the creepiest book ever!
This book was just the right amount of creepy. Page turner, full of mystery.
Page turner. So much mystery and suspense. Amazing ending!
The description Loanneth, this beautiful estate full of enchanted gardens had me enthralled from the beginning. Full of twists & mystery.
Too slow for me. Couldn‘t quite put it down, but also had to force my way through it
Amazing book about a young man‘s quest for happiness
