I like this beef because I can read it myself

This book was hard to connect to because the main character refers to everyone around her as a title (ex:the husband, the daughter) and refers to no one by name. She is stuck in a less than perfect marriage and is treated as an outcast for her profession as a funeral cryer, which to many makes her bad luck. As soon as she seems to making some changes for her happiness the story kind of abruptly ends. I really wanted more from the ending. One thing I did appreciate about this book was the glimpse into Chinese culture at the time.

It was a different type of a book. I listened to it rather than reading it. I am not sure I like Cara. She doesn’t seem to self reflect about how she treated her son and what she did to him like as mothering him too much and throwing an iron at him. She doesn’t seem to really look at her own weaknesses.

This story is a sweet love story where the conflict is internal and the character needs to overcome herself. Very cute. Loved it!

I was very excited about this book. It sucked me in through the first 80% and lost a bit of steam. There were a few loose strings I’d like to have had cleared up . Overall, I enjoyed it yet wanted more from it.

I love the main character and the whole romance aspect. Great queer representation. Felt ending was slightly lacking but still loved the journey. Loved the magic, the humor, everything. Hard to put down.

Twisty and entertaining thriller about an unsolved murder and a group of college friends at a very Duke-like university. Lots of twists and turns, suspenseful, and also a really interesting look at the complexities of friendship, especially within a group.

I thought that I would like the plot more than I did. I am not a huge fan of regency era romance but I do like to read it once in a while. This was not it for me.

As a former tennis player, I just loved this book. The author again (like in all her books) makes everything seem so real with all her research into the subject. Highly recommend!

Predictable, but a fun read. I didn't really love the way the point of view was done in the book, but I still enjoyed the characters.
