Fellow Travelers by Thomas Mallon

4.0

I really enjoyed this. It was so interesting seeing the show first and reading the book second, and I still feel so positive about the adaptation - how they translated this beautiful work to screen as well as augmented it! Only one emoji to describe this book 🥹. And the epilogue and Mary’s character were my fav parts! Other than Tim’s love of milk, bc same bro lol

We'll Never Tell by Wendy Heard

4.0

Figured out the whodunnit the hottest second before the reveal (go me). I haven’t read a coming out story in a minute, and this didn’t disappoint. A fun, spooky-ish, quick read. 

The Girl from Widow Hills by Megan Miranda

4.5

I really enjoyed this! Unpredictable plot, interesting characters. Fun read!

The Devil Wears Scrubs by Freida McFadden

3.0

Alex gives this 3 sexy surgeons! Not typical Freida but another of her funny books. She really does funny well!

Zero Days by Ruth Ware

2.0

I really didn’t like this book! I figured out whodunnit the moment they introduced him. The resolution at the end isn’t really a resolution? And I didn’t find the writing particularly strong - came off sort of cliche at times. I did learn a lot about to how to hack into buildings though! 😂

The Last Flight by Julie Clark

3.0

This was…fine! Very long for no reason and then she actually ended up on the plane the whole time? Womp

The Night Shift by Alex Finlay

4.0

I enjoyed this! Had a really busy few days at work lately so needed an audiobook to crank out emails, and this hit the spot. The book did a great job with its characters and the layered plots. I barely put it together before the reveal (was it because I was half listening? Who knows). But I’d read more by this author!

Final Girls by Riley Sager

3.0

This didn’t live up to the rest of Riley sager's books! Something about this story and the reveal felt so laborious. There were too many red herrings and when we got to the reveal I just didn’t care! but I really do love their writing, it’s so descriptive and powerful. I’ll definitely keep working my way thru the discography lol

Survivor Song by Paul Tremblay

1.0

This is not going to come across nicely but I am so sorry - this was so so painful. This book reads like a map of Greater Boston - “I turned left on Neposonet street and then right at the dunks” and on and on and on. The Boston accents and Boston-isms were cringe worthy. This book spent 9 hours of an audiobook trying to get the main character to a place to have her baby and not die of the virus, when she just dies anyway. What did I read this for? What did I learn? So harsh but that’s what I’ve got lol 

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

5.0

Can I give this five THOUSAND stars??????? The audiobook was stunning. I just keep going back and relistening to parts over and over - I didn’t want to miss a second ❤️ A love story if I’ve ever read one 🥹
