The Long Answer The Long Answer by Anna Hogeland

Review: All the Way to the River: Love, Loss, and Liberation

All the Way to the River: Love, Loss, and Liberation by Elizabeth Gilbert My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is about Gilbert's incredible journey as she falls in love with her best friend who is terminally ill and falls back into her addiction. Gilbert's unflinching honesty around the journey they both individually and together took to recover from their own individual additions is eye opening. This story is raw, honest and does not mince words. View all my reviews

Review: Finding Grace

Image
Finding Grace by Loretta Rothschild My rating: 4 of 5 stars I read A LOT of books so it's really really rare for me to find a book with a premise I have never seen before. And this one took the cake. By the end of the first chapter, you're like WHOA did not see that coming. And then you're spending a bunch of the rest of this book reorienting. I know people will have mixed feelings but I loved it. I liked the twist and then the turn the story took. I liked how the author played with the way stories are told. I liked how the characters grew and surprised you both with their stupidity and humanness. I think this one will be controversial, people will love or hate. I am of the former camp. And I loved listening to the audio. with gratitude to netgalley and Macmillan Audio for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review View all my reviews

Review: The 22 Murders of Madison May

Image
The 22 Murders of Madison May by Max Barry My rating: 4 of 5 stars I love Max Barry. I've loved reading his books since Jennifer Government and Lexicon and I think it will be hard for me not to enjoy a book by him because I really like his writing style and his clever mind. This book was no exception. I have read many books that contain the multiverse theory over the last few years so the parallel universes part of the book wasn't novel to me. But the idea of a serial killer going through each universe and hunting down the same girl was definitely an interesting twist. This is a fast-paced novel as all of Barry's other ones. It's hard to put down once you start it and even though it contained more violence and less character development than I'd prefer, I really enjoyed my time with it. with gratitude to netgalley and PENGUIN GROUP Putnam for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
