My Tour Stop for The Marriage Trap by Sheryl Browne!

I was granted early access to The Marriage Trap, courtesy of NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.  This book will be published by Bookouture, released on 07/30/19.

Karla's husband Jason packs his bags and leaves, claiming to be in love with someone else.  His words crush her, and the stable mom loses her grip on reality as her life turns upside down.

I know that's a short synopsis, but I really can't say much else without seriously spoiling the book.  I mean this in the best way possible, but reading this book was like watching a car crash.  You know you shouldn't, but you can't turn away.  The relationships in the book were all dumpster fires.  Everyone is so incredibly flawed, minus Karla and Jason's kids.  I found myself reading with my mouth open so many times.  There was SO MUCH DRAMA, and I was there for all of it.  I felt like a neighbor watching a fight happen in the street, creeping through my blinds to peek into their lives.

I have now compared this plot to a dumpster fire and a car crash, but I mean that in the best way.  I could not put this book down.  I read it in less than 24 hours.  It stressed me out so much.  When I finished, it felt like I could breathe again.  It felt like the family secrets were MY secrets.  Every time I thought it couldn't get worse or more stressful, it did.  This book had me on the edge of my seat, and I'm so glad I was able to be part of the ride.

Another great book from Bookouture.  Seriously.  If you're into thrillers, pick this one up immediately.  It's out now!

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 ...

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! 💙

The Lonely Hearts Crime Club

I obtained a copy of this book courtesy of NetGalley.  The Lonely Hearts Crime Club is scheduled to be released April 16th, 2019 by Blackbird Digital Books. Synopsis (from Goodreads): An elderly resident of an inner-city tower block is brutally attacked and left for dead. Her neighbours, a pregnant alcoholic, a vulnerable youth, a failed actress and a cameraman with a dark secret, are thrown together in their search for answers. Misfits and loners, they are forced to confront uncomfortable realities about themselves and each other, as their investigation leads them towards the shocking finale.   The cast of characters for this book were very interesting in the fact that all of them are severely flawed.  When combined they formed a group of misfits similar to those of The Breakfast Club or The Sandlot.  Each person brought something different to the "team."  The main characters are listed below Ella-pregnant, 3rd trimester, recovering alcoholic, on h...
