Lady tremaine
by Rachel hochhauser
View in Library Catalog
book cover


4.5 stars. Took a little bit to get into and a lot of exposition at beginning, but wow! Loved the third act. Super action packed and thematic. Lady T was so complex and human, and learned a lot by the end about power, men, and security.

Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage
by Belle Burden
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Poignant and enlightening, but also sad, this book is the book many divorced women have been waiting for - especially those who have experienced their partner’s secrecy and infidelity. It is a cautionary tale for those entering into a marital relationship, as well. It warns women to keep their heads “out of the sand” and be proactive about their finances and their futures. Divorce is hell, but this book shows that there is a way to get yourself out of the fire and into a life of freedom and joy. Well-written, this is a quick and enjoyable read.

I loved this book! I’m glad I didn’t watch the TV adaptation prior to reading, but I definitely want to now. The style if the narrative is unique and lends itself to some great storytelling. The characters are believable and the perfect amount of morally grey that makes a reader really latch onto them. I’ve been on a streak of books by this author, and while her writing style is distinct for each book, they all feel perfectly appropriate.

I love this book. The characters felt very real to me and I loved the connection between the mother and daughter. It illustrated that both parents and children can make mistakes in the relationship.

Silent Sister

book cover


Very good mystery. I read this one in a single day! My attention was sucked in from page one. The chapters alternate between the sisters. The twists and turns actually got me this time! I kept trying to figure out whodunnit but with each new piece of evidence I was thrown off the trail. I definitely did not see that major twist near the end. I wont spoil it for you but after it was reveals I thought back and noticed a few minor details that made it all line up. I highly enjoyed this one. It's a scholastic and I think it does belong in a middle school even if it features high school students.

Written as no one else could, this book is hauntingly disturbing and thought provoking as the reader tries to figure out just who the Outsider really is and what is happening in Flint City.

The Way I Used To Be
by Amber Smith

book cover


The Way I Used To Be was heartbreaking. The plot, characters, and what eventually happens broke me. The main character, Eden was once a spirited young girl until Kevin, her brother's best friend really r her. This is a story that should be shared throughout. The message is clearly worthy. For Eden, that pushed down trauma only hurt her more. She runs away from herself and all she's ever known - her family, friends, home. Her high schools years abruptly shift, until it's too unbearable. It frustrated me because of her silence. She never told anyone. I know that this book taught me a lot.
