The Wife Between Us

rounded up to 3 1/2

I liked the book for the most part. The first half just seem to go a bit slow. Was expecting that first twist, liked it. I sorta had it figured out.

The second half of the book was sorta like rereading the first half again but from a different view point. I liked the twists but seemed to lack something, they we not explosive or had that wow factor. Maybe i have been reading to many thrillers, or just expecting to much.

What I didn't like, was the Duke unfinished story, this left me not happy. You can mess with all the people you want leave the dogs alone.

The Paris Package

3/5
If you like the Tommy and Tuppence series by Agatha Christie, you may enjoy this. It was not your typical
Historical Fiction to me.

It started off well enough but the ending was just not there. This left it to be continued I think. We never find out what happens to several of the characters that part of the story.

Stella is the definition of a spoiled rush girl but actually grows through out the book. The package once revealed just fell short.

All I. All it was not a bad book, just could have been better. Will I read the second book ?? Do t know. If I do it’s because I want to see if characters I liked made it or were rescued.

points for Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot

Pretty Girls

3/4

This book seemed long to me. It was liked an over abundance of things that slowed the story down. The saving grace was the last half of the book when things actually start happening. I did have it figured out rather quickly.

I enjoyed the second half a lot more then the first. That’s when things finally start happening and the pace got better. The story was good. Definitely unique up just seemed long.

The Nightingale

5/5

Wow. I had been wanting to read this book for awhile. When I finally got it, I was eager to read it. The first chapter I that was good and loved the quote. Then is somewhat slowed. Then it picked up again and found it hard to put down.

Isabelle awesome character. Loved her spunk and like her sister worried about her saying or doing the something at the wrong time. She shows incredible strength. I saving people and in what it took to save the downed pilots.

Vianne. I grew to like. She seems to easy going and doesn’t make waves. This changes as the story moves on. She also saves people. Jewish Children. One of the kids I liked she stood up for and tried to help but was. Ot successful, this saddened me. Her strength is the quiet and steadfast.

The story was really good and when reading have some tissues handy. This story focused more one the non Jewish people and more on those who where helping fight the Nazis and those who are left to survive the war.

Definitely recommend

Big Little Lies

4/5

** spoiler alert ** When I first started reading this I was not sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. I kept reading to find out her did what. I wanted to know what happened. It was funny, but the further you read the more things took a more serious turn. Even with the serious parts I found myself laughing.

What Celeste endures just made me angry and baffled me why she would stay in an abusive relationship. She never tells anyone or actually gets help till a little further on. When she does finally see a councilor and they make a plan. I wanted to scream at her because so many woman never have the money to actually put into a plan like she did.

I loved that Jane had growth, and we learned about her past and Ziggy’s dad. She probably was actually my favorite character. I like when she finally stands up to the other parents and defends her child. Especially after she put him first and sought out a councilor for help.

Madeline I loved her spunk and thought she was more patient then I with with the ex and his wife. I think Abigail needed some tough love. Even more so when she had the website.

All in I I really enjoyed the book especially the twist towards the end. Blew me away was not expecting it but see why. I didn’t not feel any pity for who actually dies. With everything that was done, my sympathy level was low and was not unhappy. Will be reading more of her books.
