If Something Happens to Me

I liked reading from Poppy’s point of view more than any of the others. I think this book was way overhyped when it first came out. It wasn’t my favorite.
The Bookshop of Secrets

This book is an historical fiction that takes place in Lisbon, Portugal during WWII. The descriptions of life in Lisbon kept my interest, but the characters and the story were exciting and comical. I felt I understood that even in dangerous times, people can find a way to use their talents and enjoy working with others toward a common goal.

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

A thought provoking memoir in the condensed form of a graphic novel. The writing is concise yet captivating. I will be adding Bechdel's other graphic novels to my reading list.

I liked this book because it was really interesting. It reminded me a bit of If He Had Been With Me, which I really enjoyed. I also liked how we got everybody's perspectives, although there were many characters that were hard to keep track of.

I enjoy Riley savers writing style, so I always enjoy his books. Usually I prefer his books with more shocking twist and speechless endings, but this book didn’t give me it.
Birding with Benefits
by Sarah T. Dubb

book cover


This is S.T. Dubbs debut novel that takes place in Tucson, AZ where the author actually resides. I really wanted to like this book and placed it on hold because I, too, love birding. There was a very simple plot of an avid birder, John Maguire, who enters a birding contest but his partner drops out at the last minute and asks an acquaintance to step in. Enter Celeste who knows nothing about birds. The rest of the book is a basic boy meets girl, and they fall in love with no twists or surprises. John and Celeste are in their 40's and the sex scenes, sexting, etc. were a bit much and not believable, and I am no prude. But it is called Birding with Benefits...!

This was a quick read. I did get sucked in wondering what happened “that day”. At one point I thought someone would die. But everything turned out alright. While it was enjoyable, I wasn’t blown away by it. And I seriously question the main character’s ability to taste based on the descriptions of the things she ate.
The Summer Place
by Jennifer Weiner

book cover


A typical beach read from Jennifer Weiner taking place on the outer Cape. I have read many of her books and have enjoyed them for their storytelling and pure escapism. This one did not disappoint although I had to construct a family tree to keep track of all the twists and turns. There were so many skeletons in the closet with this one especially when Ronnie’s son ended up having a tryst with her granddaughter’s fiancé. The author always ties up her books with a big reveal at the end.
