The Maid by Nita Prose
3.0
I think it was expecting more, of what? I'm not sure. I think I had expectations for The Grand Budapest Hotel film, which was amazing. This is like that, but on the smaller scale.
I like the main Character, Molly. Really gives you insight to other peoples minds.
The story I found overall a little slow, however credit to the author.... did not see that ending coming.

Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing by Matthew Perry
5.0
Fantasic. I could have given this five stars before I even finished.
I've grown up with Friends, adored every character and loved their own story lines. It hasn't been a secret among the fans that (my personal favourite) Matthew Perry struggled with substance abuse. But never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined the sheer hell this man has walked through his entire life.
If you can, listen to this on Audible. Narrated by Matthew Perry 'Matty' really puts depth to it all.
Like I said, I could have given this five stars after the half of this book. Tell tell sign? I would try and find any moment to listen to it. I couldn't stop listening.

House of Sky and Breath by Sarah J. Maas

Well, this took forever reading. Like .... forever! But I wanted to stay committed. I wasn't going to let this book defeat me. I had to switch from Audible to reading it physically because having one voice do so many characters, it just got confused and looking back now, definitely took away from the story line as when I got deeper into the book, I was confused as to who everyone was.
I do think they should switch up the Audible version and bring in more narrator's.
But this whole book, and to read the last page, THE LAST PAGE!!! OH MY DAYS!!! The last page made this book for me.
