Before there were Karens, there was Alix.
I really enjoyed how this book took on underlying racism without being in your face. It's the subtle situations and dialogue that may be missed by some, but recognized by those of us who've experienced and deal with racism everyday. Not everyone will get the same messages from the story, but that's the beauty of it because one's life experiences will determine what you take from this book.

Memory Man by David Baldacci

This was just an "ok" book for me. The story just didn't make much sense to me because it was all over the place with the victims. At the same time, it really does feel like fiction. There's no way this could, would, or should happen in real life. Plus the characters don't seem like "real" people. It's because of that, I didn't connect with the characters and have no desire to read more of the series. It's disappointing because I do like David Baldacci as a writer, but I'm skipping this series.
