Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Fast-paced interesting mystery that was a fun read. Not too twisty but still kept me interested. Was what I needed.

Weiner is always a steady read for me. I know what to expect and she delivers. I’ve been having such a hard time finding things to read that I wanted something I can count on and she delivered.
I went on a Coben journey after watching some of his Netflix movies. I think the books are good but I don’t seem to enjoy the narrator and I like these more as miniseries. They are still great for twisty stories if you enjoy those!

Wow, what an unusual story. I don’t even know where to begin with this one. The truth is that it took me a while to get into this story. Margot made so many poor decisions, one after the other that I wasn’t sure I wanted to keep going because I was frustrated. But then I slowly started to fall in love with her tenacity. I fell in love with her ability to forgive and her willingness to give others chances and her demands that she, too, be given chances. This book full of oddball characters and collection of poor choices and misfortune will fill your heart when you’re not paying attention and leave you in tears, proud of these characters for all the growth and tenacity they experience over the course of the story. I started on the fence and ended up loving it. with gratitude to netgalley and William Morrow for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
Here’s the thing about Katherine Center, her stories always make you feel happier in the end. She knows how to fill your heart, how to make you hopeful about the world, and how to smile. They are like a warm, cozy blanket on a cold day or a delicious cup of iced lemonade on a warm day. It’s balm for your soul. And this one is no exception. It’s sad, it’s funny, it’s witty but most of all it’s overflowing with heart. You will not regret reading her stories. with gratitude to netgalley and St. Martin’s Press for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review
I enjoy Ali Hazelwood. Vampires are not my thing but I still liked this because I enjoy her stories and this was still signature Hazelwood even if a bit different.
I loved this sweet story. It was an unusual plot and done well. It was really sweet. If sweet romance is your thing, it’s recommended 🙂
I’ve been struggling finding books that I am interested in reading. This was an easy, interesting read. Enough that I am considering reading the next ones in the series 🙂
I was having dinner with my workmates a week ago and as I always do, I asked folks to tell me their favorite books. I love reading other people’s favorite books. This time, there was mostly silence except for my colleague, Jeff, who told me to read this book. Narrative non-fiction is a genre I love so I was excited to read it, and then when he said his wife wrote it, I decided I had to read it. I am so glad I did! Before this book, the only time I had heard of Arowana was because of Animal Crossing. A fish worth a lot of bells. As it turns out, it’s worth a lot in the real world, too! In this journey that takes the author to unexpected destinations and heights of adventure, Emily Voigt explores the bizarre realm of ornamental fish hobbyists and those who journey far and wide to discover new fish species. If you didn’t think the world of fish could be that interesting, think again. This book will have you turning the pages and shaking your head in wonder and amazement at what people will do and how far they will go. I loved every moment of following the crazy journey from the safety of my home!
Nope I am sorry I am going to have to stop reading McFadden. Yes her books are a fast read and yes you’re always wanting to know what happens next. But her characters are vile. The material is always triggering. And I am just done reading these.
I enjoyed this book in the beginning but somewhere in the middle it lost me. For some reason I didn’t find myself wanting to come back to it. But I stuck it out and was grateful to have done so by the end. Many many others loved this much more than I did so I would urge you to read their reviews 🙂 |
