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.
ok I really enjoyed this book while I read it. But it’s been two weeks and I truly can’t remember any part of it. So that’s what it is. Fast, awesome read that I will forget.
3.5 stars I read this because I couldn’t find anything to read and i remembered it was very very popular on BookTok. It was enjoyable. But not enough for me to want to keep reading. At least not now. So one book down but not the others, yet.
One of the best books I read this year, so far. I had read and liked, but not loved King’s previous books so I wasn’t sure how I would feel about this one but I really loved every moment I spent with this story. I loved the characters and I loved the writing. I loved the characters’ journeys. I loved the ache that lived at the core of the story and in each character. I loved how joy and sorrow could live side by side in this story. I loved how it can be full of both hope and heartache. I cannot recommend this one enough. with gratitude to netgalley and Grove Press for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. |
