This was…not good, like kind of painful.

This was so much better than I expected. Molly Ringwald can write! This book is made up of interconnected short stories that deal with issues of infidelity, infertility, and familial estrangement, among others. I related to so much of it, and it gave me insights into some difficult issues. The chapter entitled When It Happens To You is a killer.

Highly recommended.

I just bought her other book, Getting The Pretty Back, described as:

Yep. Next up!!

That was a fucking trip.

He’s becoming one of my new favorite authors. All three of his books are amazing. If you’re into thrillers, you have to check them out.

Book nerd alert/you need to know!

This comes out tomorrow, and I am so pumped. Normally, I’d select it as my BOTM pick, but I don’t feel like waiting on it to be delivered. Instead, I shall buy it on my Kindle at midnight.

Also, if you love reading, you should follow franzencomesalive over on Insta. She’s one of the BOTM judges, and is always pimping fabulous new reads.

There was a point during my obsessive reading of this unputdownable book, where I literally exclaimed, “Oh hell yes.” This was a wild ride with one hell of a twist. Highly recommend.

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC.

A bookish idea!

I’ve been thinking about this for a while:

I need a friend who also does Book Of The Month Club, with whom I can swap books. The proposal: we each pick a different book every month and then swap.

Unfortunately, the only person I know who subscribes is Freya’s mom (at least according to what Frey says), and I’m hesitant to ask her because she might find that weird. Lol. Idk. We aren’t friends necessarily, though we’ve certainly gotten more chatty with each other.

Anyway…I love this idea of having a group that does book swaps, but I don’t know any locals who love to read as much as I do.

Booooooooo.

This was so good. 4 1/2 stars.

Obviously, I’m partial to any sort of court dramas, but I loved the way this story played out over three separate narratives. The ending was perfect. Really enjoyed this one!
