the last book of tahereh mafi's shatter me series, I just reread it. Aaron Warner IS the standard and Juliette/Ella is so loving and an amazing main character. i love this whole universe and the characters so so so much, I can't even describe it. the only bad part was that Aaron was acting really rude to everyone just because he didn't get to have the perfect wedding. he should be able to understand that everyone was trying their best, and Juliette shouldn't have defended him all the time.

What did I just waste my time on???? Horrible book. The first few chapters had such potential and then the supernatural kicked in. Absolutely ridiculous. So many plot holes.

I was so excited to find a Richard Paul Evans book I had not read! I finished it in one day. This is a very touching, realistic story of forgiveness-- even after the loved one had passed. We can all use this wisdom in our lives.

Bunny
by Mona Awad
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Samantha is definitely an outsider in her small, creative writing workshops @ prestigious Warren University. There are only 4 other students in her classes, all seemingly perfect, well coifed and dressed young women who adore each other. The 4 women hug and call each other bunny as a term of endearment. During the semester the bunnies reach out to Samantha and invite her to one of there "smut salons" At this point all sorts of strange, borderline magical events begin to happen around Samantha. As a reader Samantha is such an unreliable narrator you do not know what has actually happened and what is made up in Samantha's head. The author, Mona Awad, has really left it up to the reader to interpret what happens to Samantha and the bunnies while at Warren. Overall, I think the book is a scathing but amusing review of the pretentiousness of some graduate school programs. It is horror, literary fiction and humor all rolled up in one brilliant but perplexing text.

The Perfect Divorce
by Jeneva Rose

book cover


No spoilers, but never put anything past Sarah! Once again, Jeneva had me ignoring all of my household chores so I can find out 'whodunnit'. Although it had been a while since I read the Perfect Marriage, it was written with just enough recap to jog my memory but not feel repetitious.

Earthly Possessions

I always enjoy anything written by Anne Tyler, but this was not one of my favorites.

Hunting Evil

Good book however the author spends too much time trying to disprove Simon Wiesenthal's work.

P.S. You're the Worst
by Chloe Seager

book cover


I received an ARC for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. P.S. You're the Worst by Chloe Seager is a breezy read about a woman named Becky coming to terms with her life as her 20's are ending courtesy of a late night tarot reading. Through a series of letters, she unintentionally sets off a chain of events in which she finally needs to face her life head-on; for better or for worse. As she starts to sort her life out amongst the shambles that she has made of it, she starts to realize what is truly important in her life. Like the old saying goes, "out with the old and in with the new"! I truly enjoyed this light-hearted read about life, love, and the power of female relationships in all its forms. Thank you to Net Galley and the author for the ARC.

The Orchard Keeper

Obvious debut; not a bad thing, but it does feel a bit less refined in its grit. Maybe my fault rather than the book’s as I read it sporadically over the course of a month. Will always love and appreciate his writing style above all else.
