I can't write books so I review them instead
I’ve always been a fan of Joy Fielding, ever since I first read her book Heartstopper back when I was in grade 10. Granted, I haven’t read a book by her in a while, but reading this one makes up for it! 15 years ago, Caroline Shipley was looking forward to her wedding anniversary. But the…
This book has been making the rounds in the literary circles so I decided to pick it up and see what all the hype was about. Before I get going, I want to let you know that I read a translated version, and the translator was David Frye. Ted McKay has the perfect life: a…
Charlotte Maynard is a recluse, rarely leaving her family home in Connecticut, a lake house that has been in the family for generations. Technically, Charlotte and her sister, Sally, are not part of the “family”; their stepbrothers are true Whitmans, and they are the owners of the house.

This novel has been showing up everywhere. I’ve been getting so many recommendations to read it and every time I pass my local bookstore, it’s the first book I see on display. It felt like a sign that I should probably read it. So I did. And here is my review: Dustin is a psychologist…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I always enjoy reading foreign novels. By this, I am referring to novels that are not in the English language. It’s interesting to see how the author’s culture and background influence the writing style and approach to the story…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW EXCITED I WAS TO GET AN ARC OF THIS NOVEL!! I absolutely loved the first book in the series and as soon as I saw this ARC I wanted to get my hands on it…
