My Ex-Life is the latest novel by Stephen McCauley. He’s the author of six previous novels, including The Object of My Affection, True Enough and Alternatives to Sex. This is the first novel I’ve read from him.
When Life Gives You Lululemons by Lauren Weisberger is a fun and comedic story that doesn’t take itself too seriously. The Devil Wears Prada fans will enjoy the reappearance of beloved characters. This is the book to take on your next beach vacation.
Limelight by Amy Poeppel is her second novel. Her first book, Small Admissions, is an enjoyable coming of age tale with a different take on the New York private school scene. I’m excited to see what’s in store with Limelight, especially as this one has received a lot of buzz.
There’s quite a bit of praise for The Husband Hour by Jamie Brenner. While Brenner is the author of two other books, The Forever Summer and The Wedding Sisters, The Husband Hour will be the first book I’ve read from her.
The Glitch by Elisabeth Cohen is a smart and funny story with some mystery elements. If you’re looking for a quick and entertaining summer read, The Glitch is for you.
Still Me by Jojo Moyes is a new book featuring Louisa Clark of Me Before You and After You. Clark is a likable character and Still Me does a good job of moving her story forward. The following book club questions will have spoilers so if you haven’t read the novel yet, check out my preview and review first.
Still Me by Jojo Moyes is one of my most anticipated reads of the year. Jojo Moyes is one of my favorite authors and I love the heartbreaking romantic tale of Me Before You. While the sequel After You wasn’t what I expected, Moyes writing style always draws me in to any story. I’m excited to […]
Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng is a slow-burn read (pun intended) told from multiple point of views. It seems people either love this novel or don’t care for it. I compare it to when watching a movie where one expects more action to happen. Sometimes the slow pace is not for everyone. But I encourage […]
The Female Persuasion by Meg Wolitzer is an interesting concept about the politics of women mentorships with a critical eye to the dynamics among women. There are areas of the book I enjoy but ultimately, this read fell flat for me.
Cuba is somewhat of a mystery. One of the great things about historical fiction is an introduction to another time and place that typically encourages additional research on the topic. And I have feeling that will be the case with Next Year in Havana by Chanel Cleeton.
How to Stop Time by Matt Haig is a fantasy about a man aging slowly. And he’s tired. His past tragedies have prevented him from living in the present and so for much of the novel, he’s fairly stagnant and melancholy. The following book club questions will have spoilers, so if you haven’t read the […]
I love time travel stories. One of my favorite books is Stephen King’s 11/22/63 about a time traveler working to prevent the assassination of JFK. I also used to watch CW’s The Flash, which featured a unique spin on time travel in the comic book world (check out season one but you can skip the rest). So […]
