Book review

28 Summers by Elin Hilderbrand is a decent novel with a great setting. 

The Last Flight by Julie Clark is an engaging thriller/mystery combination that lives up to the hype and more. 

Editorial note: I received a copy of The Guest List in exchange for a review.  The Guest List by Lucy Foley is a fairly entertaining mystery about a wedding from hell. 

I’m Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness by Austin Channing Brown is an impactful memoir about a black Christian woman experiences in America. 

The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett is one of the best books I’ve read this year. This is a five star must-read!

Editorial note: I received a copy of The Henna Artist in exchange for a review.  The Henna Artist by Alka Joshi is a beautifully written novel about freedom and independence.

Editorial note: I received a copy of The Jane Austen Society in exchange for a review. The Jane Austen Society by Natalie Jenner is a lovely novel about a group of wounded people coming together in a shared love of fiction. 

Editorial note: I received a copy of The Mother-in-Law in exchange for a review. The Mother-in-Law by Sally Hepworth is an engaging thriller that features depth. 

Editorial note: I received a copy of Rodham in exchange for a review.  Rodham by Curtis Sittenfeld is unlike anything I’ve read before. At the heart of the novel is taking a look at what happens when a woman isn’t defined by a man.

Valentine by Elizabeth Wetmore is an impactful story that highlights the strength of women. However, I did think it missed the mark in some areas.

Editorial note: I received a copy of Big Summer by Jennifer Weiner in exchange for a review.  Big Summer by Jennifer Weiner is everything you want in a beach read and more. 

Untamed by Glennon Doyle is not really the type of book I tend to read but I have to say it was interesting and made me think.

Editorial note: I received a copy of The Honey-Don’t List in exchange for a review.  The Honey-Don’t List by Christina Lauren is a fairly entertaining read that you’ll fly through in one sitting. 

Editorial note: I received a copy of You Are Not Alone in exchange for a review. You Are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen is an entertaining twist on the thriller genre.
