The Heiress was a wild ride. I am not someone who reads synopsizes often, so I honestly had no idea what I was getting into with this one. I have read almost all of Rachel Hawkins's books. This ones started out with a cute little romance with some weird underlying secret. 
It quickly delved into a dark history and a crazy family. There were quite a few twists and turns that kept me intrigued. I really enjoy the plot that started when a child was taken from a family picnic and then returned to her family, and the generations of trauma that spurred from that moment. 
I think my favorite aspect was the location, I loved the southern Appalachian mountains and the huge house. That set the coolest vibes in the story.

THIS NEEDS TO BE IN EVERY LIBRARY! I really enjoyed I Feel Awful, Thanks. One of my friends recommended it and I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy. The main storyline is a new adult going off to work and realizing that she is not handling life as well as she felt she should. She is experiencing anxiety and depression, along with self-doubt. Dealing with a toxic situation at work and a new relationship, it all boils over. 
The coolest part is the story is immersed in magical realism. 
Going into a therapy-like situation, she is able to learn to understand and cope with her emotions, in a vivid and visceral way. It is SO cool!
The book helps understand that these emotions and feelings are valid, and the there are ways to work through them. Also, amazing friends and standing up for yourself.

Know what you are getting into but also know it is hilarious And so good. The audio is amazing 

Lowe can mark me any day. This was delicious
