Loved this book. It was about a scandal that destroyed her parents' marriage, drove her and her two sisters apart, and crushed her relationship with her first love. It's been 20 years since she's been home. But going home is fraught with emotional baggage memories and secrets await. Her daughter is desperate to go; she is fatherless and craves family and longs to get to know her grandfather. Bonds are tested family, friendship while discovering the role that love and memory plays in defining their lives.

I loved this book with all my heart. It's a perfect call to all Greek mythology lovers, young and old. You'll come to love the sarcastic characters and personalities. The story is both perfectly serious and ridiculous at the same time. You'll memorize the quotes, memes, and figure out which cabin you're in. Welcome to the fandom!

Stoner
by John Williams

book cover


I’ve read books where I’ve said the characters are literally me, but reading Stoner felt like John Williams wrote my entire life, thoughts, and even my parents in this 278 page book. Deeply moving and a required reading; from the comparison of one’s personality and building oneself to a bookcase to the aimless (and somewhat sure) fear for the future, anyone at any age (especially 17 and older) would resonate with the choices, struggles, and life of William Stoner

Scattered Showers
by Rainbow Rowell

book cover


These 9 stories made me feel all sorts of ways but mostly: happy. I loved getting to know these new characters and enjoyed learning about them as the stories progressed. Even though I knew these were love stories, I was always surprised when the characters kissed. My favorite of the stories was Winter Songs for Summer, where a downstairs neighbor gave customized CD's for the main character, who was going through a breakup. The last few stories were not exactly the type of books I usually read, but despite it being unusual, I enjoyed the characters even if it was only a little. Overall, Scattered Showers was a quick read as well as a book I could finish and think about for at least a few minutes.
