Review: It's Not All Downhill from Here

It's Not All Downhill from Here by Terry McMillan
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I am a Terry McMillan fan and was glad to see a story with older women. I thought that was fresh and I enjoyed the friendship between the woman. But, there was a lack of tension that made this book feel like I was reading a diary. It stayed even-keeled most of the way true. However, Ms. McMillan tackled a lot of relevant issues.
Thank you #Netgalley.

Review: The Other Mrs.

The Other Mrs. by Mary Kubica
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

So... Uhm. Yeah. This was filled with so much twists and turns that it pushed toward unbelievable. However, what a great tale that explores a gripping subject matter. Sadie, her husband, Will move into the home his sister killed herself in and left her teenaged daughter, Imogen. All I can say is that this was the kind of read where each chapter unfolded events that brought you toward a conclusion, I didn't see coming.

Review: The Two Lives of Lydia Bird

The Two Lives of Lydia Bird by Josie Silver
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What an interesting concept. The author tells the story of Lydia's grief over two years. She's lost the love of her life and has found a way to keep him 'alive'. But grief is a process and loss does not affect only one person - families and friends are changed forever. So, as changes occur, can we remain stuck in the past.
Interesting read. Thank you #Netgalley
