Deep State by Chris Hauty

Deep State was written by Chris Hauty and published on January 7, 2020 by Atria Books. I was given a copy from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

President Richard Monroe, newly elected and super controversial, has completely divided Washington D.C. In the middle of all of this drama, the White House chief of staff is found dead in his home. When an over eager intern discovers that it was not from natural causes as publicized, she unearths a conspiracy so large, everyone is a suspect. Will she uncover the truth in time? Who else is keeping a secret?

This book floored me. First of all, the super divisive President hit a little too close to home. Part of me was really hoping he’d be next to go. All of the players in this book are so incredibly detailed and not one of them has clear intentions from the start, aside from the intern Hayley Chill. This book twists and turns the entire way through, leaving the reader guessing right up until the end. Personally, I loved the ending. I don’t read a lot of books similar to this, but I was so glad I read this one. I was entertained from start to finish, and was a little bummed when the book was over.

Deep State is a great thrill ride. If you’re ready to question everyone and everything, this book is for you.

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! 💙

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 th...
