SJM is a master at bringing so many supporting characters to life with limited space. She shares their stories at the perfect time and then their reactions to events, their words--however few--mean so much more with how she sprinkles them in.
Read MoreReview: The Opposite of Loneliness
One of my favorite things about Keegan and this book is her amazing talent to bring you immediately into a story (which is incredibly important for short stories and essays because you are working with such limited space).
Read MoreReview: The Andy Cohen Diaries
I did appreciate how "real" Andy made himself--bad parts and all. There was no sugarcoating stuff. But, overall, just a "meh" for me.
Read MoreReview: The Husband's Secret
I'm late to the Liane Moriarty fan club but I've enjoyed the three books I've read from her so far. Quick, suspenseful, and they usually leave you guessing until the end.
Read MoreReview: Hi, Anxiety
I appreciated the author's humor when writing about difficult topics and it is her humor that saved me and kept me reading.
Read MoreReview: King's Cage
I enjoyed this book a lot more than “Glass Sword,” but it didn't quite capture everything from the first book, which I loved.
Read MoreReview: Southern Charm
And, let's be honest, because I'm a Real Housewives franchise fan so of COURSE I'm gonna read a book by one of the RHONY ladies. I mean, OBVIOUSLY.
Read MoreReview: Sweet Valley Confidential: Ten Years Later
It was part nostalgic, part hate-read, part "guilty" pleasure--even though I felt no guilt.
Read MoreReview: Glass Sword
I didn't feel connected to any of the characters--I'm not sure why I felt so disconnected after how much I enjoyed the first book in this trilogy.
Read MoreReview: Big Little Lies
Rape as a plot point is lazy. You can display the same emotions, get to the same end, without using this constantly. It's cheap, it's unoriginal, and I'm just done with it.
Read MoreReview: Bad Feminist
A hard-to-put-down book with equally hard-to-read essays. She went from making me laugh to making me shake in frustration to nodding in vigorous agreement.
Read MoreReview: Most Talkative
Andy's natural tone feels more like he's talking to a good friend than an author writing a book.
Read MoreReview: Truly Madly Guilty
It just felt too long. Too much buildup, too much aftermath. I would have loved the book if it was shorter because the core of it was really interesting.
Read MoreReview: The Art of Asking
This book read more like a series of autobiographical essays centered on the themes of asking for help (obviously), SEEING people (not just looking at people), vulnerability, trust, and love.
Read MoreReview: A Court of Mist and Fury
SJM is a master of character development. This book was a slow build yet so thrilling at the same time. Sorrowful, yet somehow joyous. This book even made me appreciate ACOTAR that much more. She added so much detail, made little things make sense.
Read MoreReview: A Court of Thorns and Roses
Once I got about halfway through it really picked up. This is a book that if you stick with it--which honestly isn't hard even though it's slow, SJM writes amazing characters--it's worth it in the end.
Read MoreReview: We Should All Be Feminists
It has made me think about so many things--one of which being how I'm raising my daughter AND my son.
Read MoreReview: Brave is the New Beautiful
I want every woman I know to read this. We are all brave. We all have stories, we all have struggles. We are in this TOGETHER and should lift each other up instead of comparing.
Read MoreReview: Modern Girls
And the ending! If ever there was a book begging for a sequel, it was this one. I want to know what happened next!
Read MoreReview: Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?
So funny and relatable.
