What Kind of Paradise by Janelle Brown
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Loved this story. It was suspense and character-focused and heart wrenching and also interesting. Not predictable in my opinion. Recommended.

I really really loved the beginning but especially the middle of this book. I loved reading about each of the characters and got really attached to the story. I am giving it 4 stars because I thought the ending really dragged. But it was still a really unique awesome story.
A really creative memoir that’s also a graphic novel. The artist is clearly incredibly talented and I loved the unique style and the meta topic. Highly recommended.
Andrea Gibson has a gift and how lucky are we all that she chooses to share it with the rest of us? She’s one of a kind.
What a truly excellent premise for a book. What if there’s a terrorist attack in the hotel while you’re cheating on your spouse? Both trying to hide it from your family and also spending a lot more time with your lover than you ever did are awkward situations. How will this change the course of your life? How did you even end up here? This beautiful book tells the story of this wife. It goes back and forth between the present and the past, leading you slowly to this very moment and helping you develop empathy for all the characters involved along the way. It’s a really well written story and do not forget to read the author’s note at the end. Excellent, excellent read. with gratitude to netgalley and SJP Lit for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
This is about Gilbert’s incredible journey as she falls in love with her best friend who is terminally ill and falls back into her addiction. Gilbert’s unflinching honesty around the journey they both individually and together took to recover from their own individual additions is eye opening. This story is raw, honest and does not mince words.
Ali Hazelwood always puts me in a good mood. Love the characters, love the dialogue. Just fun.
An excellent memoire talking about how her marriage of many many years fell apart. All the things that led here, all the things she did to move forward. A really inspiring story of perseverance and taking control of one’s life. Also the importance of community and asking for help.
This was recommended to me by goodreads or somewhere. I enjoyed it but didn’t love love it. Not sure I will read the rest of the series. It was a fun and fast read.
I love Coben’s story telling. His twists are always interesting and this one was no exception. You absolutely don’t need to have read the previous one to enjoy this.
I know this is the new romantasy. I gave it four stars because I read it really fast. However I am not sure I would read the next one. I liked the characters and I liked the phoenixes. If you really loved romantasy, you will enjoy this one.
3.5 stars, rounded up. I really liked the idea of this book. I loved the idea that there’s so much power in generations of women and I loved the visuals of glowing and lightning. I really enjoyed the generational part of the story, too with the mom, the kid and the grandmother. I loved how they each loved each other and got on each others’ nerves. I thought the writing was a bit stilted and could have used more polishing. But I look forward to reading more of this author. with gratitude to netgalley and Alcove Press for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. |
