This book was very wordy and was mostly narrative.
It was about a bored Japanese housewife who's husband works long, long hours and doesn't spend much time with their 2 kids.

She meets a stranger and becomes his friend and then his lover.... All because she thinks her life is boring. It doesn't last long but it's enough to get get in a better place with her husband (which I don't agree was a good thing). She loves her children fiercely though.

I spent my time in this short book skipping a lot of the narrative and just finding where people actually talk. I didn't really like ally is the characters and body didn't care about what happened to them.

This book was full of a lot of fun things- the two main characters work at a publishing house, there's an earthquake that causes a landslide that makes them spend one night together in the office, and they decide to fake date to go to her ex's wedding to her ex best friend.

Connor is quite the ladies man. He's flitred with almost every female in the office.... Except Evie! Both Connor and Evie are up for the same promotion. Connor is so sweet during the time that they're locked in the office.
Evie was a little too forgiving of certain people especially her ex and her ex best friend. Connor wanted her to stand up for herself more and so did I.

I love the reason that Evie wants the promotion, she wants to help her parents back at their home farm as they are getting older. Connor wants to be an author and his dad is embarrassed of him working in marketing for a publishing place.

But this book was full of laughs and sweetness and I really enjoyed it!

Wow. I really don't know what I can say except this book is very sobering and harrowing. It makes you cry hearing what so many people went through. The ones that got me the most were hearing from the loved one especially from United 93. The last words they ever spoke.

Everyone should read this...
Alive at that time or not.

Lily is an award winning journalist. She has a great daughter. But she's missing her sister Cassie, her only relative. Cassie disappeared while going to college when Lily was only 7.

Lily has a source that gives her all her stories. (So that's one thing I didn't like... She didn't even seem that great of a journalist if she can't find her own stories or rely on her producer ,Greer, to help her get them).

Suddenly, this source starts giving Lily details on her life... And on Cassie. Cassie who may be alive..

It was good writing but it just didn't pull me in like a good suspense should. I didn't get that feeling of... Can't wait to find out what is going on....I just felt, ok. I'll find out when I find out, not in any big hurry.

All opinions are my own but thanks to GetRedPR for my copy.

This was an interesting, macabre read.

Molly is living in an orphanage when a mysterious Aunt calls to have Molly brought to live with her. Her aunt is nicknamed The Corpse Queen. She has a business of robbing corpses from their graves or before they are buried and she wakes Molly to help.
At first Molly is afraid she can't do this, but soon becomes good at what she does. (Though many say because she's a woman she won't have success

Robbie is a reclusive billionaire who finds out he is dying from cancer. He rents out a beach house and invites his 3 closest friends Cat, Blair, and Wade for a living wake (which they don't know about... They just think reunion)

Robbie does a little digging into their backgrounds as of late (which I felt at first... Such an invasion of privacy!) because they each are lying to each other. But it turns out he wants to help them set some things right in their lives before he's gone from them.

I like the (mostly) honesty between the friends. I like how they each stood up for each other, especially Robbie since he left on his own, from the moment the three were thrown out of Baltimore Prep.

This book may seem a little quirky with Nicole's habit of "relocating" items to be where they want to belong, but this is a book that is full of heart that made me cry a little.

Nicole gets this feeling around certain objects that need to be relocated to another place. This little quirk gets her in trouble a lot and she's done some time. She is also dealing with a soon to be ex husband that is so charmingly manipulative and emotionally abusive.

Hawk is hired by her soon to be ex to get back something he claims Nicole "stole" from him. He starts out following her for the job but soon realizes that there has to be more to her than people see and/or assume.

I love when Hawk and Nicole stay working together to take her scum ex down! I love the two people that believe Nicole's gift. Especially Andrea... What a fun character she is. But I love how Nicole and Hawk end up helping her.

Thanks so much to Kerry for sending me an early copy!

I'm so glad I got the chance to finally read one of Jamie's books and I loved this one.

Jess, Liz and Chloe spend a night at a casino for Jess's birthday. They each come back to their lives the next day and have to deal with the consequences of their individual actions.

This was a quick paced book. I kind of really hated the guys in Jess's life. Chloe's husband got a bit moody with her when she wanted to go back to the workforce and didn't handle his feelings towards her well until she made him. Liz was the one I was the most impressed with. The changes that she made in her life after that night helped her grow so much and start doing something she was really passionate about again.

Great story of friendship and of being true to yourself and your wants.

I love this small town romance between two enemies that become slowly more over time. While I wouldn't exactly classify Ben and Marlo as enemies (more as when they were young, they made bad assumptions of each other but it's forgivable once it's talked about)

Marlo seems to be at first the rich girl that gets everything she wants and has it easy. But as you read , you see the struggles she and her parents are going through with their althletic club.

Ben is a reporter with dyslexia. He lives from paycheck to paycheck from his job and supplements his money when he can work for his parents at their bakery.

When they both sign up on Good Catch, a dating app, to appease their parents for looking who to date.... You get to see a lot of hilarious (and one very horrible turns into all disaster later) dates they go on before they take a chance on each other.

From Ben's exes appearing (and some are

I love books at schools so much and this was a little different as it was the mostly the adults that are the naughty ones!

Teddy "Teacher of the Year" just wants his students to achieve the highest potential they can, but only if you aren't on his s**t list! He is very deliberate in his choices and don't get in his bad side (even if you don't know you did) because it can lead to serious or deadly consequences. When a student is arrested after the death of a parent, Teddy takes things in his own hands as he needs to teach the right people the right lessons.

This book is full of short chapters which makes it a quicker read. You know a lot that goes on so there's not much mystery, but it still is so compelling. You know who does what but there are still surprises along the way. Just watch your back at "Homicide High" and you might come out of it ok!
