Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover Contemporary romance My feelings about this book are mixed. On one hand, it was a fast paced, engaging read. On the other hand, it felt emotionally manipulative. It’s like the author made everything about the book as gut wrenching […]

Dark Matter
by Blake Crouch
What if you were able to go back in life and take the path not taken? It's a fascinating concept. It took a little while to get into, and I got bogged down by the heavy science in the middle but otherwise this is a pretty good book. It's...

The Silent Wife
by A. S. A. Harrison
This is a thriller that unravels gradually. The twists aren't sharp but they are there. Every single character is unlikable, their behavior deplorable, but I couldn't help rooting for them at times. I went back and forth between the audi...

A Separation

Three and a half stars. This book wasn't what I expected from reading the dust jacket, it's not an intense thriller. There is a mystery gradually unfolding, which we learn about from the first person narration of a wife who reluctantly a...
