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.

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.
The Farm by Joanne Ramos
The Farm by Joanne Ramos is heartbreaking and infuriating. She has quite a literary career ahead of her if this is what she brings to the table with her debut novel.
Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
There are good things and bad things about Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. I liked the story quite a bit, but the characters and the storytelling fell flat. It is the perfect summer read because summer isn't over yet!!!
Evvie Drake Starts Over by Linda Holmes
If you're looking for a harsh yet kind not completely bad book review, look no further. Evvie Drake Starts Over by Linda Holmes made me sad because the plot sucks. The dialogue is good, but it's definitely nothing more than an escapist read for vacation.
