Review: Good Intentions

Good Intentions Good Intentions by Marisa Walz
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was an experience. The whole book feels tense as Cady starts unraveling with the death of her twin sister.

The thing that's unnerving is that the unraveling is slow and steady and feels almost like it could totally happen to anyone. She starts letting go of all the bits of her life she worked hard to build. Her business, her marriage, and becomes obsessed with this woman who experienced grief on the same day she did.

She becomes obsessed. She starts lying, she descends so far in that it becomes impossible to find her way back. And this book is narrated so well that it keeps you wondering where this can possibly go.

And then that ending. Oh the ending....you'll have to listen to it yourself to find out.

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

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
