Riley Sager's Lock Every Door

This book was published on 07/02/19 by Penguin Group Dutton. This is my third Riley Sager book, but it's the first one I've read. I actually ordered this as part of my Book of the Month box, even though I was lucky enough to get the book early from NetGalley.

Jules has lost everything. Her job, her boyfriend, and her apartment, all in the span of a few days. Broke and worried, she finds an ad for an apartment sitter in the paper and applies. This turns out to be for the The Bartholomew, one of the most prolific apartment buildings in Manhattan. She is given very simple rules-no visitors, no nights away from the apartment, and no bothering the famous residents. She strikes up a friendship with one of the other apartment sitters named Ingrid, and discovers they have similar pasts. When Ingrid goes missing, Jules starts to investigate her disappearance, despite many warning from people in the building. She begins to unravel a deep and secretive history, putting herself in danger in the process.

THIS.BOOK.WAS.SO.FANTASTIC. I couldn't put it down. I would stay up late reading it until I could physically not keep my eyes open anymore. Riley Sager is a genius. I loved the ending and all of the twists and turns it took to get me there. I'm currently trying to read down my NetGalley books and once I do, his other two books will be among the first ones I read. Go pick up this book. You will not be disappointed!

Heartless by Elsie Silver

Elsie Silver has once again proven why she’s an auto buy author for me after reading this book! Cade is SUCH A GRUMP and I love him so much for it. Reading book 1, Willa was easily one of my most favorite characters, and I frequently blew up my bestie’s phone with things like “Willa just said _____.” It’s no surprise to me that I also loved her in this story. I’m not huge on age gap romances for my own insane reasons, but I thought it was done well here. Overall, I loved everything about this book. I had an absolute blast while reading it, and it now sits on my shelf as one of my most treasured books.

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 ...

When the Sky Fell on Splendor by Emily Henry

If you thought I hated Great Big Boring Life, just wait until you hear about my thoughts on this one! Seriously, I think Emily Henry and I are about to break up forever. It’s not me, it’s her. The premise for this book was really fantastic, but the execution was a total failure. The characters weren’t engaging, and I found myself hate reading this one. There are too many monotonous characters that run together, and I didn’t find myself rooting for any of them. There was supposed to be a found family trope somewhere in this one, but maybe I missed it because I was too busy rolling my eyes at the stupidity of it all. Speaking of stupidity, let’s talk about this “ending.” This ending filled me so full of rage that I was stomping around my house yelling “do you believe this crap” to my dog. Spoiler alert, she didn’t get it either. I would say the only good thing about this book is the cover, but that’s ruined because of the steaming pile of trash that was the ending, so I can’t ...
