The Eights by Joanna Miller
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
For some reason, I never got into this story. I liked reading about the women, I liked the math and i liked the idea of this book but I just didn’t get attached enough to any of the characters.

The Seven O’Clock Club by Amelia Ireland
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
3.5 stars
I have mixed feelings about this story. There’s a big twist. Which to me is always risky because you either like it and then feel like it was a great book, or you hate it and then hate the book. I think i fall more in latter than former. But it didn’t make me as mad as these types of twists usually make me.

The Perfect Divorce by Jeneva Rose
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Many people seem to have liked this one more but I thought it was too similar to the other one and I tend to not enjoy stories that are the same, told the same way and leave me feeling the same.

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
3.5 sweet little story about belonging and being different. It feels a little like The House in the Cerulean Sea in spirit.

All That Life Can Afford by Emily Everett
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I picked this up whimsically because it was a Reese pick. It was a great start but, for me, it petered out. And in the end it was meh.

The Antidote by Karen Russell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A major undertaking by Karen Russell. I knew practically nothing about the Dust Bowl and I really enjoyed this story set in a fictional town. I liked each of the characters and their unique perspective. I liked how visual and all around immersed the reader became in the story, it was a full five-sense experience to read it. I really enjoyed the touch of magical realism as well, what a unique and lovely way to bring some history into the story. Excellent book.

The Bookshop of Hidden Dreams by Karen Hawkins
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Sweet story of this family each with their own slight magic. This one is a bit more historical but I love the feeling these stories come with. Light, sweet and tender.
