It was okay. It’s star crossed lovers but their stubbornness is what keeps them apart once reunited.

I loved this book. So much to think and talk about. If you had the chance to know your length would you want to take it 

The Women by Kristin Hannah

emotional inspiring slow-paced

Not my favorite of Kristin’s book. The book is slow but the ending is good. There are some things you see coming but there are surprises along the way. A really emotional story. Read if you’re wanting a book that will make you tear up.

I did enjoy this book. The ending was pretty good for a mystery. It kept me guessing had enough turns and still was pretty believable at the end

The beginning was a little hard. The main character didn’t seem lovable at first. She seemed rigid but she just knew what she stood for. I loved how everything came together in the end. So beautiful and sad and hopeful and wonderful. This story is about women and their capabilities beyond just being beautiful. 

Our Best Intentions by Vibhuti Jain

So it’s just a bit too on the nose. The storyline didn’t really make sense and I wasn’t that impressed.

It was soooo dark. Be warned. Really good but it’s pretty gruesome and some things were a bit on the nose for me 

Cutting Teeth by Chandler Baker

funny lighthearted mysterious fast-paced

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

It was a good book if you’re wanting a quick read. It was an interesting enough storyline. It’s hard to make a mystery interesting and this one was not the best but not the worst. It was about an interesting phenomenon that I’ll have to see if it’s actually a thing that’s real.

This was a great book because it had a unique way to tell the story. It was a mystery but not the type you think.
