Review: Heather

Heather Heather by Caitlin Mullen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is compared to Moore’s The God of the Woods which I thought was an apt comparison. It's about an event that unearths a mystery from years ago. It's in a small town. It's a quiet story which ends up not being about the mystery. All of these I think are reasonable parallels.

This is a slow burn but, for me, it was an excellent read from beginning to end. I loved Callie from the very beginning and was invested. The audio book was truly excellent. The narrators brought the story alive and made it so there wasn't a moment of boredom in this slow moving story. I loved it from beginning to end.

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
