What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty

July 2, 2018

How much do people change in 10 years? When Alice hits her head at the gym, she forgets her children, her extended relationship with her husband, and that she ever wanted to join a gym. It’s just so not her. What does it mean to reset a relationship, and how will memory slipping back affect … More What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty

Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate

May 3, 2018

Someone left this book on a friend’s table . I figured I’d read a few pages. AMAZING STORY. I convinced the friend to lend me the book so I could finish it. No spoilers beyond the back-cover.

Delicate Monsters by Stephanie Kuehn

June 5, 2017

No happy endings. No resolutions at all. 3 narrators take turns in this book: I don’t like any of them enough to remember their names. -One psychopath (a girl, tho they are usually men in literature), -one possible psychopath (he only used to be evil, now he’s maybe reformed) and -one alleged psychic who makes … More Delicate Monsters by Stephanie Kuehn
