Over My Dead Body (William Warwick Novels) by Jeffrey Archer

2.0

I'm sure Jeffrey's writing is good, as his books have sold millions of copies the world over, and maybe it was the fact that this was book #4 and I've never read any of the others, but this was so confusing. 

So many characters and jumping around timelines all over the place, I found this really confusing and hard to keep track of. 

Beware the Woman by Megan Abbott

3.5

This started strong but then really dragged. Shame, but still quite lyrical and quite fun. 

The Girls by Emma Cline

3.0

very culty vibes. didn't really give too much away until the end but then I felt like it didn't really explain itself too well. this has been on my tbr forbabv long time so glad that I finally got around to it. also definitely feel like it was a good shout for the audiobook rather than getting the digital or physical copy. 

Until August by Gabriel García Márquez

3.0

This was intriguing, but never really got anywhere. The first book of his that I've read, but I've been recommended them for years.. I guess I should dig some out. 

The Hideout by Camilla Grebe

This was a Swedish thriller and having just been in Sweden, was nice to be back there.
