Savage Art by Danielle Girard

5.0

I swear this author only writes masterpieces!!! This was like a whole criminal minds season in one book. So suspenseful, thrilling, scary, and crazy! You’ll definitely want to give this one a read.

The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix

4.0

Don’t get me wrong, this book is good! But I kind of felt like a mouse on a hamster wheel, constantly running. Sometimes I didn’t know where I was going or why I was running. But, in the end I was shocked and it was thrilling!

Regretting You by Colleen Hoover

5.0

This was such a good one! Kind of felt like a lifetime movie. I really loved these characters!!

Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Amelia Nagoski, Emily Nagoski

3.0

I think the intentions behind this book are great. I think the general advice is great. However, I didn’t feel like it was presented in a crazy “changed my world” type of way. It all felt very bland. The rest section was probably the most useful part for me but other than that…it just wasn’t life changing. Maybe my expectations were too high to begin with which is my fault! I also think this book could be good for younger women (ages 17-21 or so) and are starting to learn some of these topics in a very simple way! I just don’t believe it’s for women who have read, learned, and talked about these topics for a few years and are fairly self aware already.

Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter

5.0

I’ve heard great things about this author and it lived up to the hype!! Great thriller with countless twists and turns!

Golden Girl by Elin Hilderbrand

5.0

I am wiping away tears as I am writing this review. This was such a good story! I loved so many of the characters and despised a few. This was such a dang good book! The ending had me crying like a baby!

Before I Let You Go by Kelly Rimmer

5.0

This book was heart wrenching. It told a story of addiction through multiple people’s eyes and it was devastating up until the very end. I’m a sucker for a happy ending and my rose colored glasses didn’t prepare me for how this author would end this heartbreaking book. In the end, I think this book was beautifully written and tells a harrowingly tragic story.

It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover

5.0

This book wrecked me. Not at all what I expected when I opened the book and started reading but boy was I in for a trip. If you can, read this!!

Touch & Go by Lisa Gardner

5.0

Lisa doesn’t disappoint!! I also love that all of her books feel different but all are thrilling in their own ways. Didn’t really see this ending coming which is always a plus.
