You, with a View by Jessica Joyce
4.0
I really enjoyed You, with a View.
I read this book as part of my book club, and I am so glad this was the months choice. I may have shed a few tears.
You, with a view covers such an important topic to me that I think always needs awareness; grief. Grief is so individual and this book really shows that everyone goes on such a unique journey.
I really did love all three of the main characters for different reasons.
Firstly Noelle, I feel like she goes through such a journey finding the truth of her grandma and herself. She is very strong in my eyes and I felt like I could relate to her so much. Her relationship development with Theo was great. I actually really enjoyed Theo's cockiness. There was themes of enemies to lovers and forced proximity which were all really well wrote out.
The letters between Noelle's grandmother and Paul were a beautiful touch. I must say that I didn't expect the ending of their relationship to be the way it was. Paul was like the glue of this story, he took Noelle in and showed her kindness by going along her journey with her. He seemed to ground Noelle and provided her with a fresh perspective on her situation and past with her grandma.
I would definitely recommend this book, and will be reading more of Jessica Joyce in the future.

I really enjoyed this story by Sue Grafton. It follows P.I Kinsey Milhone who takes an easy job looking for a son that was put up for adoption 32 years ago. The women who is asking seems glamorous and wealthy. But all is not as seems when Kinsey gets questioned for paying her groceries with marked money… money that she was paid for to do the job. And now the client is no where to be found.
I really enjoyed this crime/ thriller book. I was kept on my toes and did not expect the ending to be what it was. I enjoyed Sue’s writing style and would definitely pick up another of hers in the future.
