Review: That Night

Image
That Night by Gillian McAllister My rating: 4 of 5 stars I love reading McAllister's books. Once I pick them up, I always know I will not be able to put them down. This was no exception. I was reading another story during vacation where I noticed that my attention kept wandering so I switched to this story and within seconds I was hooked and didn't want to stop reading until I was done. This is the story of what it means to be a family. A dysfunctional family that has become enmeshed through an early loss and now doesn't know how to untangle themselves. Then the unthinkable happens and they show up for each other. Of course, they show up for each other. But then. Then, they can't let it go. They start unraveling one by one, bit by bit. Their worst enemy is coming from within. The guilt eats at them. It colors everything and everyone they look at. And then they start questioning each other. And then it unravels even further.

Review: We Burned So Bright

Image
We Burned So Bright by T.J. Klune My rating: 5 of 5 stars This little book has so much packed in it. It's sad and hopeful and so thought-provoking. It's what we've come to love from T.J. Klune about how it feels to be different humans in the world, what struggle looks like and the different shapes and forms it can take. And how we can love endlessly and still not always be able to help in the right ways. How we can't really help those who don't want to be helped and how it's tricky to be a human on this earth. This book will break your heart over and over again and then really break it before it's over. And it will stay with you a long time, like all Klune's stories do. with gratitude to netgalley and Macmillan Audio for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. View all my reviews

Review: Good People

Image
Good People by Patmeena Sabit My rating: 4 of 5 stars What an unusual way to tell a story. This was a very thought-provoking story. Even though in its root I don't think the story was really novel, the way the author told the story was really compelling and kept me interested. I did have to give up worrying about keeping track since that was really hard in the beginning. Totally worth the read and would make a great discussion. View all my reviews
