Rating: 10/10 Favorite Character: Ellerie Downing (the main character, making this a super basic choice tbh) So I have to start by saying that this is the second Erin A. Craig book I’ve read, and the one that has truly made her one of my favorite authors (admittedly, I have a lot of favorite others,Continue reading “Book Review: Small Favors by Erin A. Craig”

Book Review: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Rating: 8.5/10 Favorite Husbands: Rex North and Robert Jamison The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo revolves around, as the name might suggest, Evelyn Hugo, an enigmatic woman who, despite being ruthless and manipulative, is still a sympathetic character. Pragmatic and romantic, honest and sly, Evelyn is a contradictory character. The other characters in her storyContinue reading “Book Review: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid”
Book Review: The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley
Rating: 8.5/10 Honestly, this book was rather intense. I was shocked by the ending. Lucy Foley manages a rather brilliant exploration of human nature. Rather than being shockingly gory, or unrealistically moralistic, she manages a striking realism, in which people are not perfect, and no one is completely innocent. Her multi-faceted characters interact in complexContinue reading “Book Review: The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley”
Book Review: Difficult Women by Roxanne Gay
Rating: 9.75/10 Favorite Stories: North Country, Difficult Women, and The Mark of Cain This book is a masterpiece. Do yourself a favor and read it. You will feel pain- it’s not an easy book to read, not because of the language, but because of the intense content. Many of these stories are full of painContinue reading “Book Review: Difficult Women by Roxanne Gay”
Book Review: The Guest List by Lucy Foley
Rating: 9/10 Favorite Character: Hannah This book was pretty incredible. The story is from five different perspectives, all of whom are keeping secrets. The characters all share very complicated relationships as well as lush, painful backstories which are revealed piece by piece. No one character knows the full story, and you, as the reader, areContinue reading “Book Review: The Guest List by Lucy Foley”
Book Review: Bringing Down the Duke by Evie Dunmore
Rating: 9.25/10 This book was amazing! Feminism, politics, romance, nobility, and history- what more could I ask for! This book is full of strong female characters who support each other. It definitely passes the Bechtel test. All the characters are intricate and fascinating. The relationships between all of them are fascinating. This book looks atContinue reading “Book Review: Bringing Down the Duke by Evie Dunmore”
Book Review: Here the Whole Time by Vitor Martins
Rating: 7.75/10 This book was honestly pretty sweet. I didn’t find it to be, like, out of this world spectacular, but it was pretty good. A story about a boy with body weight issues and a crush on his neighbor, Felix’s journey to self-acceptance is realistic and relatable. The book includes a beautiful mother-son relationship,Continue reading “Book Review: Here the Whole Time by Vitor Martins”
Book Review: The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn
A beautiful love story; strictly a romance, so not for the overly pretentious. Rating: 9/10 Honestly, I loved this book. I just tore through the Bridgerton series. It’s a great way to escape reality. It’s a really fun novel. While Julia Quinn makes each Bridgerton the center of a novel, half the characters are fromContinue reading “Book Review: The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn”
Book Review: The Stolen Crown by Susan Higginbotham
Review: 9.5/10 I loved this book! The story is just so interesting! It’s basically the story of Katherine Woodville (she’s the sister of Elizabeth Woodville, Edward IV’s queen) and her husband Henry, the Duke of Buckingham. It’s set during the War of the Roses and both of the narrators have a front-seat view to, asContinue reading “Book Review: The Stolen Crown by Susan Higginbotham”
Book Review: The Ivies by Alexa Donne
Rating: 8.5/10 Honestly, this book reminded me a little too much of my school. It’s pretty much an exaggeration of uber-competitive crazy town high schools. It’s a story about the Ivies, a clique of girls who work together to get into their Ivy- taking down their competition. What would you do to make your dreamsContinue reading “Book Review: The Ivies by Alexa Donne”
