The book jumped from storyline to storyline that I felt like I was reading four books in one — and not in a good way. Themes felt all over the place, which is a shame because Eliza’s “secret” definitely deserved more care.

I recently picked up Eliza Starts A Rumor, hoping for an engaging and entertaining read. I have been having a harder time reading during the last few weeks and needed something that would keep my attention.
It was my first book by Jane L. Rosen and it ended up being such a delightful reading surprise! While it was definitely engrossing, it was also timely and super relevant. The characters were fleshed out and the strong storylines made this one hard to put down. It is set in a small suburban town and Rosen sets the scene so well I almost felt like I was part of the neighborhood too.
It has a Big Little Lies vibe, but dare I say I loved it even more? The multiple storylines weave together to create such a satisfying novel. I loved the themes of sisterhood, family, motherhood, friendship, and hope. I highly recommend this one and I can't wait to read Nine Women, One Dress now!
Thank you to Berkley Publishing for the gifted copy. All opinions are my own.

Ohhhhh neighborhood drama I'm here for it! In the beginning of this book I thought that I was going to LOVE it. But then it took a turn and I just found it to be "ok" in the end. There were A LOT of characters with simple names that I found myself getting confused quite often. And though I love a little drama it felt like this put me right back into middle school. I'm not really a fan of that type of drama LOL I say give it a whirl if you like that sort of thing! I don't know I didn't hate it but it didn't wow me either.
