Cleaver ending ! All the characters get what is coming to them . Wickedly delightful classic husband verse wife. I wish the power of the house was better explained however as the crossroads did not seem to be enough explanation

Entertaining love story that's more than just fluff. A great beach read, but also a look at former child stars, perception vs reality, and real love vs Insta-love.

Jane Eyre
by Charlotte Brontë

book cover


Once I entered the world of Jane Eyre, I was hooked. I can see why there is longstanding appeal of this romantic novel by Charlotte Bronte. The story of an orphan who survived adversity and emerged heroically never gets old. The somewhat antiquated style of writing was charming and easy to follow. The addition of lines of French monologue in spots only added to the allure of this book. There were copious notes in the back of the book that explained expressions used or elements of history with which the reader may not have been familiar. Though its length of 500+ pages may have seemed daunting, the pages flew by, enveloped by the love story of Jane and Mr. Rochester. Highly recommend.

The Breakaway

book cover


Jennifer Weiner's latest book that does not take place on the Outer Cape but in Philadelphia and New York in August of 2023. The main character of the book is Abby Stern who is a "larger" person that struggles with criticism from her Mother as well as society. Abby is also an avid biker who ends up leading a 14-day bike trip on the Empire State Trail from NYC to Niagra Falls. Among the fifteen riders on the trip is Sebastian whom Abby had a one-night-stand with two years earlier. The rest of the book centers around Abby, Sebastian, and Abby's current boyfriend, Mark. I enjoyed the book as well as the different stories of the characters on the bike trip.

Deadly Animals
by Marie Tierney

book cover


Dark, macabre, subject matter, but so interesting and suspenseful. Ava is an extraordinary 14 year old: studious, compassionate, analytical, whip-smart—and very interested in death: how animals die, the rate at which they decompose, etc. She studies this with a scientific remove, yet also with compassion. During her clandestine studies she finds a the body of her missing classmate, and thus the story begins. This book is beautifully written, and the characters are complex and convincingly rendered. Unlike anything else I've read. Highly recommend.
