5/5 stars This is the first Riley Sager (pseudonym) book I’ve read before, and I’m so glad I did! I finished in about 5 hours and could not put it down. This had just the right amount of suspense and thrill. Add in the paranormal aspects and it’s the perfect psychological thriller for me. Our … More Lock Every Door
****There will be spoilers in this review**** 2/5 stars I gave this book a try after hearing it was like Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine. I almost didn’t finish this book, even after the “plot twist” reveal. The only reason I continued is because I was already very close to the end. It felt like … More The Cactus
4.5/5 stars This was my August pick for the Book of the Month Club (my very first box!). Ruth Ware has done it again. While, this didn’t scare me as much as some of her previous works (The Lying Game was super creepy), it was still suspenseful and thrilling. I read it in one sitting … More The Turn of the Key
5/5 stars I picked this as one of my add-ons in my August Book of the Month Box, and I’m so glad I did. I will admit, the cover drew me in first and I was a little unsure of the story since I typically do not read historical and fantasy fiction (except for Harry … More Gods of Jade and Shadow
3.5/5 stars I was a little confused when I started the book, and I’m still confused once I finished it. This story features an unlikable main character, Lila, who now has to face consequences for her past choices in parallel universes. In one universe she is captured and forced to examine what she’s done, in … More The Two Lila Bennetts
4/5 stars I had no clue what I was getting into when I picked up Tiny, but I am glad I did. I found it at my independent bookstore, and from my searching, I haven’t been able to find it anywhere else. This novel, written by Kim Hooper, examines tragedy and grief through its main … More Tiny
5/5 stars From page 1, I knew I’d like this book, and it’s all to do with Eleanor. She may be odd to some, but she is unapologetically herself, and I love her for it. Some parts made me uncomfortable, which was entirely the point. I sympathized with her the entire time as she discovered … More Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine
4/5 stars Alison Gaylin has written an incredible thriller that kept me turning the pages. I was immediately drawn in and intrigued when I realized I would get an inside perspective into the mind of a teenage murderer. The characters keep you guessing the entire time. I had many theories about what was happening. Ultimately, … More Never Look Back
3/5 stars It seems I may be alone in this opinion based on all of the raving reviews I read before picking up, City of Girls. Yes, the writing is beautiful. Yes, the vivid character and scenery descriptions transport you back to New York City in the 1940s. But there were several parts in the … More City of Girls
5/5 stars WOW! Why did I like this book so much? Was it the eccentric family? The snarky honesty? The over-the-top characters? The unwavering loyalty between mother and daughter? All of the above? I am going to try really hard not to spoil anything. Maria Semple may have just written one of my favorite books ever. … More Where’d You Go, Bernadette
