My Next Breath is a gripping, emotional account of an unimaginably traumatic experience. I found myself genuinely moved by the author’s road to recovery — his story is inspiring and, at times, raw and harrowing. The inclusion of photos in the physical book and real 911 call excerpts in the audiobook (read by the author Read more
Whew! What an amazing book. Broken Country is a powerful, emotional, and gripping read that blends genres beautifully—it’s part love story, part murder mystery, and part courtroom drama. Told in a dual timeline, the story unravels slowly, with each chapter peeling back another layer of truth. The pacing is definitely a slow burn, but I Read more
The Tenant by Freida McFadden
I’m giving this one 3.5 stars mostly because of the ending. I love a good twist, but only when it still feels grounded in reality. This one really pushed that line for me—in fact, it kind of jumped right over it. Don’t get me wrong, the ending was shocking and definitely unforgettable, but it also Read more
Heartwood by Amity Gaige
This was a slow burn, but in a good way. The story is told from multiple perspectives, which I really liked—it gave a fuller picture of what was going on and helped build that quiet tension throughout. It’s a mystery, but not your typical whodunit. There’s a small twist near the end that ties things Read more
Stuck Up and Stupid by Angourie and Kate Rice
I went into Stuck Up and Stupid with a lot of excitement—it’s a modern spin on Pride and Prejudice, which I absolutely love. But this adaptation didn’t come close to what I hoped it would be. Right away, the writing style threw me off. It jumps between multiple characters’ perspectives in third person without any Read more
Cher: The Memoir- Part One
Cher’s Memoir: Part 1 is a compelling and intimate book into the early chapters of her life—from her childhood to her rise to stardom, her complex relationship with Sonny Bono, and motherhood. While the book did feel a bit too long in some sections, I found myself consistently drawn in by the richness of her Read more
Lore Olympus Vol 1 & 2 by Rachel Smythe
I honestly didn’t expect to love Lore Olympus as much as I did—it’s the rom-com I didn’t know I needed. This fresh, modern take on Greek mythology is both captivating and gorgeously illustrated. The artwork is stunning, with vibrant, moody colors that bring so much emotion and depth to every panel. Each image feels intentional, Read more
