Review: Husbands & Lovers

Husbands & Lovers Husbands & Lovers by Beatriz Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the story of two women. One in 1950s and one in 2020s connected by this one heirloom. I liked the current timeline more because I liked the voice of Mallory and found myself rooting for her and Monk almost immediately. It's not a huge surprise how these stories will connect so it's not mysterious, it's more about reading about how these women's lives unfolded and how they came to be connected.

I will say that there's a major trigger warning which for me came out of nowhere and was really disturbing (it's towards the end.) so just beware.

Review: Finding Grace

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
