The Homewreckers by Mary Kay Andrews
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
3.5 stars
I’ve never read MKA before. This was fun and engaging and I enjoyed reading it. It was a light read and I am not sure it will stay with me but I still liked reading it.

I love Emezi’s writing. This is not my favorite novel by them but I still love their writing and this unusual story of a woman who suffered a great loss and has three different romantic partners is no exception. Beautiful writing but not an interesting plot.
This book was really quite depressing. But it was also really well done. This is the story of Ansel Packer who is about to be executed on death row for murdering multiple women. The story is told by him and several of the women from his life: his mom, his wife’s sister and the officer who caught him. It’s a layered and captivating story.
i read about this in a book I was reading and I am so glad I decided to take a chance on it. It’s not what you think it will be and it’s also exactly what you think it will be. Matt Haig is such a wonderful writer, for me. I enjoy his books.
read this in one slurp. Christina Lauren is always so fun and this one is no exception. Funny and I loved the wilderness setting.
2.5 stars This was a hit and a miss for me. Some of it was nice but the characters never really stuck with me and so I lost interest in the story even as i was reading it.

Spent the night in the ER. Grateful he is ok. Just so exhausted.
I loved everything about this story of a set of neighbors who live in an apartment building on Mallow Island. They each have their own story of loss and sadness and things they are running away from and yet they find family and kindness and love with each other. This story of love and loss and magic is absolutely beautiful to read. There is a little magical realism in this book, but I didn’t think it was too much. I loved the way it was weaved in and what it represented. A really beautiful story about a chosen family. with gratitude to netgalley and St. Martin’s Press for an advanced copy in exchange for an advanced copy. |
