The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness
3.0
This book had a really good plot. And it stayed strong the whole time. It should've ended though. I'm not going to read the sequel because the first one was enough. Not every book needs to keep going. And this one shouldn't. And the only other thing that really bugged me was how little injuries affected people. Sometimes it made sense due to the technologies available but the characters who didn't have those technologies should've died.
Save the Date: The Occasional Mortifications of a Serial Wedding Guest by Jen Doll
4.0
I really really liked it. It was funny, honest, and really insightful. I got giddy just reading about the weddings. Just one note: she does get drunk. A lot. If you don't want to sit through that, don't read this book.
Love, Nina: Despatches from Family Life by Nina Stibbe
3.0
Eh. It was good but not amazing. You don't have to pay too much attention to what's going on though. Nice pool side read though. She's kind of a bad nanny so that did bug me.
Travels with Casey by Benoit Denizet-Lewis
5.0
I loved it. The book flows so unbelievably well. Sometime he gets personal but I like how it added to the story. You have to love dogs and accept how much of a crazy dog person he is but I adored this book. I read it in 24 hours.
The Divorce Papers by Susan Rieger
5.0
Yes, I will admit that some of the legal documents were tedious to read but you could honestly just skim through those. I loved it. The characters and story flowed. I'm not sure how realistic to being a lawyer it is, but I liked it.
Reboot by Amy Tintera
3.0
The characterization of the reboots was a little shaky. Sometimes stuff kind of contradicted itself. It's pretty stereotypical of a story but it's good. I read it in a couple days. But really your run of the mill dystopian novel.
Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty
5.0
Goodness gracious I loved this book. It was funny, it was sad, it was heartfelt, and you walked away from it satisfied. I love the whole idea of crazy, gossipy helicopter parents so this book was a done deal after the second page.
