Read The Mother's Mistake...IMMEDIATELY.

The Mother's Mistake by Ruth Heald was published by Bookouture on 06/11/19. I was lucky enough to obtain a copy from NetGalley in exchange for my review.

Claire has a loving husband, newborn daughter, and a home in the country...sounds like the dream life, right? That couldn't be farther from the truth for Claire. Her life is actually falling apart. When a note turns up in her mailbox declaring that she doesn't deserve her daughter, Claire might just have this "perfect life" destroyed right in front of her very eyes.

I read this book so fast. The pace of the book demanded it. It was so suspenseful. It made me think of Sleeping with the Enemy. When Julia Roberts' character runs away and starts her new life, she's always looking directly behind her for her past. Claire is doing the same thing.

I had a bookstagram friend who read the book shortly before I did keep telling me to hurry up and finish because the book would blow my mind. She was 100% right. OMG. THE ENDING TO THIS BOOK. I never saw it coming, and I read a lot of thrillers. I sent what I thought were 2 or 3 really good guesses to her mid book, and I wasn't even close. I have no idea how Ruth Heald came up with this plot line, but I'm so glad she did. I can't wait to read her next book.

This book is the 3rd in a string of 5 star reads for me. I don't know how I got so lucky, but hopefully this trend keeps going!

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
