Reviews Done Quick My Lovely Wife will twist your mind and give you whiplash. I love a good domestic thriller, but Samantha Downing’s book was unhinged. The book had good pacing and snappy dialogue. Unfortunately, the characters were underdeveloped and unlikable. Therefore, despite the plot keeping me on the edge of my seat, I really […]
Don’t Open Your Eyes by Liv Constantine is the perfect summer domestic thriller. It is a poolside book to get lost in. Liv Constantine opens the book with a bang, a distressing nightmare that the reader knows will come back to haunt Annabell, the main character. The author sprinkles these premonition dreams throughout the story, […]
I was excited to read Bridget Jones’s Diary as I loved the movie and had heard good things about the book. The novel started out strong and Bridget was endearing at first… Bridget started out as someone I’d like to know but as time went on I began to roll my eyes and just wanted […]

I enjoyed watching his character grow and find love when it […]
I have heard people rave about Ann Patchett for years but despite the praise never picked up one of her novels. In November 2017, Reese Witherspoon chose The is the Story of a Happy Marriage as her book club pick of the month. I decided that it was finally the time to give Ann Patchett a try. Typically, I […]
Goodreads Progress The Woman in Cabin Ten starts with a burglary in Lo, the main character’s home. While the break-in did show the character’s state of mind– paranoia I didn’t feel that it belonged and wondered if there would have been a better way to show this. When everyone was gathered on board the ship […]
Some may see it as inconceivable but I liked the film version of The Princess Bride more than the book. I felt that the book was too and short and the plot felt rushed. As I love the dialogue in the film, I found myself searching for favored scenes or quotes that are shown in […]
Review There are very few books that make me cry by Of Mice and Men is one of them. I remember the first time I read this book in 9th grade. I was so moved by it and then someone ruined it and told me the Lenny dies. I was devastated. Like Sirius Black, another […]
