Here’s a bunch of reviews for all the fiction I read.
The Summer Tree by Guy Gavriel Kay
The Summer Tree by Guy Gavriel Kay is probably one of my least favorite books I've read in recent years. It's not good. I hate it even though my best friend loves it.
You Think It, I’ll Say It by Curtis Sittenfeld
You Think It, I'll Say It by @CSittenfeld from @randomhouse is a collection of short stories chronicling and eviscerating characters navigating everyday problems of the modern era and socioeconomic status, gender, and love.
Home for Erring and Outcast Girls by Julie Kibler
I was utterly surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Julie Kibler captured my interest and respect with her cutting and insightful novel.
The Dollhouse by Fiona Davis
Davis had a nice novel until the last five pages when she throws a it in the toilet. The ending comes quickly and suddenly. It’s as if her editor asked her to wrap everything up with a nice bow. It was saccharine and a little vomit inducing how spoonfed the ending was. Otherwise, it's a nice story combining a mystery with a touch of love and a lot of independent women searching for belonging.
The Travelers by Regina Porter
I have too many good things to say about this novel for a soundbite. Absolutely affecting in every way.
