I can't write books so I review them instead
I have been most excited to read this novel. For the longest time, it wasn’t available anywhere near me so I would enviously read reviews about it. Thank you to Edelweiss and the publishers for providing me with this ARC! Yeong-hye used to be the perfect devoted wife, quiet and willing to please. But when…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The Hillsingers and the Quicks have shared Seven Island in Maine for generations. But though technically family–Jim Hillsinger and Billy Quick married Park Avenue sisters Lila and Hannah Blackwell–they still maintain some distance. Now, on the anniversary of Hannah’s…
When I first began reading this novel, it was dragging. I almost gave up on this book within the first 30 pages, but others’ reviews on this book urged me to get past the 50-page mark because “that’s where it really gets good”. So I did. And they were right. Here’s my review: Death has…

Most historical fiction novels set during this time period are distressing, and focused on the horrors inflicted on people by the Nazis. While this novel…
I was in the mood for something quirky and funny, and this novel was recommended to me for just that reason. I went into the story without knowing much, but I finished the novel over a 2hr bus ride and had a really good time! So here is my review: The Rockwell women are one-of-a-kind,…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. It’s rare to come across a book that explores the relationship between a father and his daughter. Most books focus on mother and son or mother and daughter, but showcasing the father’s role in the upbringing of his child…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I love ghost stories. Pretty much anything that can make me feel scared at night is going to be of interest to me. I love ghost stories or supernatural stories that will scare me to death, but I also…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Meredith Oliver is not friends with Lisa Bellow. Meredith is unspectacular and Lisa is the most popular girl in middle school. It just so happens that they both are in a sandwich shop at the same time. But then…
