Review: Go Gentle

Go Gentle Go Gentle by Maria Semple
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh my goodness this book. This book.

Semple has put in everything into one book and has woven it together so it's hilarious, tender, sweet and also a whodunnit. I have no idea how she's managed to do all this in one book but she's just a star.

This book starts with a hilarious aging-single-woman coven story. Which would have been hilarious on its own. But then it covers divorce, marriage, parenthood, sexism, comedy, international mystery, rich people, crazy lives in NYC and so much more.

I don't want to give any of it away because it's just so much fun to uncover it all yourself. Trust me, this one is awesome.

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
