This was such a cute rom com! I loved the quirky characters that made it more interesting than just your average “they hate each other but secretly love each other” romance. It’s a quick read, witty, and charming, and if you need a cotton candy happy ending, this is a great one!

This one is about as far opposite as you can get from the last one! This is a domestic thriller about a man who meets a random woman at the airport. He tells this random woman off-handedly that he believes his wife is cheating on him and jokes that he’d like to kill her for it. The random woman doesn’t think it’s a joke, and works out a plan with him to make this happen. There are many other twists, turns, and connections that kept me on the edge of my seat and very unsettled at the end because I got so invested in the story! If you liked The Last Mrs. Parrish, you will like this one!

And another hard left turn from the last book, haha! This was a great, fast, easy read with a lot of take-aways about organizing, simplifying, and creating margin in all aspects of life. There is nothing revolutionary or new about her advice, but reading it at the New Year in a time where we are about to start drastically purging to sell our house and move, it was a great kick in the butt to get started and gave me several jumping off points to actually get things done.

I am a huge British history nerd, and love all things Royal family. My friend Sarah recommended this book, and I found it fascinating! It gives an in-depth look at William and Harry’s lives from birth through present day, and how Charles and Diana’s relationship, Diana’s death, Charles’s relationship with CPB, their relationship with the Queen, and their relationships with their now wives formed and changed the relationship between William and Harry as brothers. If you are interested at all in British history, I think you would like this (it read a lot like the literary version of an episode of The Crown– like historical information, but told more narratively). If you have no interest in the Royal family, probably on the boring side, haha!

This is another domestic thriller, so the basic plot of a woman figuring out if her husband is cheating on her with the next door neighbor, who is also one of his employees. This flips each chapter from the wife’s POV to the other woman’s POV and it wraps up at the end with some twists and turns. I thought it was suspenseful and I was surprised at some of the plot twists, so I didn’t find it predictable.

I re-upped my Kindle Unlimited subscription at the beginning of the year, and this was my first KU e-book/ audiobook combo, so I was able to listen to the audiobook at times when I wanted to keep reading but couldn’t physically read and that was great!

Colleen Hoover is an emotional terrorist.

This is my second of hers- I read It Ends With Us last year and felt the same way about it. She has the most ridiculous way of creating very flawed characters that you actually really want to root for- especially situations where you have two flawed characters at odds and you want to root for them both but there doesn’t seem like a way there can be complete reconciliation or a complete happy ending for all sides. And I am very much a fan of happy endings. I’d say I liked this one better than It Ends With Us because there was a very small sliver of a chance of a happy ending, where there wasn’t one with IEWU. But thank goodness hers are typically fast reads so it’s like cannonballing into a pool of emotions- a deep dive and dunk, but you are able to come up for air quickly!
