Does Chloe Really Know the Guy She Just Married???

The Honeymoon by Rona Halsall, published by Bookouture was released yesterday, 06/07/19.

44419258

After knowing Dan for less time than I take to decide what book to read next, Chloe marries him.  It's her dream wedding, and she truly believes this is her forever.  As they relax on the beach for their honeymoon, Dan jokes that they should remain on the island forever.  Then he doesn't let her leave...

This book was INSANE.  I couldn't put it down, and found myself sending texts every 20-30 minutes with my thoughts to a friend who read this before me.  Chloe met Dan, dated him for a month, and then MARRIED HIM.  Did she really expect things to be totally normal and for nothing to hit the fan?  Girl.  COME ON.  I felt myself cringing and silently screaming at her throughout the entirety of the book.

As for Dan, I expected he was full of it right away.  Who shows up LATE to their own wedding?  God bless my fiance if he tries to do this. 😄  I won't say anything else about him because I don't want to take away the shock of reading about two characters like Dan and Chloe.

The end was slightly predictable, probably because I read 3-4 thrillers a week.  I really enjoyed the ending, and if you don't read as many thrillers as I do you're probably safe from the risk of guessing it.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book.  It would make for an unbelievable movie.  This is another crowd-pleaser from Bookouture.  Be sure to pick this up and take it to the beach or pool this summer!

Is One Truly the Loneliest Number?

I was given a digital copy of One? by Jennifer L. Cahill.  She reached out to me through Twitter, and she was so sweet.  I couldn't wait to dive into her book.💙 The Plot (From Goodreads): It's London in the mid-noughties before Facebook, iPhones and ubiquitous wifi. Zara has just moved to London for her first real job and struggles to find her feet in a big city with no instruction manual. Penelope works night and day in an investment bank with little or no time for love. At twenty-eight she is positively ancient as far as her mother is concerned and the pressure is on for her to settle down as the big 3-0 is looming. Charlie spends night and day with his band who are constantly teetering on the verge of greatness. Richard has relocated to London from his castle in Scotland in search of the one, and Alyx is barely in one place long enough to hold down a relationship let alone think about the future. One? follows the highs and lows of a group of twenty-somethings living i

First Post-Here We Go!

This is still a little insane to me.  Last week I wasn't even thinking a Bookstagram would be possible for me, let alone a blog!  What if I'm not interesting?  What if my reviews are terrible?  What if I actually have BAD taste in books? I guess we're going to find out.  Follow me.  Be patient with me.  Grow with me.  Let's explore as many amazing stories, wonderful authors, and unforgettable books as we can! 💙

Less is more? An honest take on Less, by Andrew Sean Greer.

I finished this book and immediately thought, "I wish this wasn't going to be my first book review."  What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?  Let's see if that's true. The plot is interesting enough.  Arthur Less is a failure.  He's a failed novelist.  He's also a failed lover, proven by the wedding invitation from his ex that shows up in his mail.  The love of his life has found someone else to love.  What does he do, as a functioning adult?  He accepts invitations to participate in literary events around the world in an attempt to avoid the nuptials.  Less travels to Mexico, Italy, Germany, Morocco, India, and Japan in an effort to avoid his grief.  This is a love story, a satirical look at Americans abroad, and an honest, if not painful look at relationships and how they progress over time. Sounds entertaining enough, right?  This book was 260 pages and I felt every single one of them.  I trudged through this book with all the grac
