Lady Macbeth

fast-paced

Twas weird but I enjoyed it. It veered rather far away from the play which I didn't expect but it was entertaining.

The Reappearance of Rachel Price

Holly Jackson

4.5

I enjoyed this book throughly, for the longest time I hated the main character, so deeply that it was hard to read but that's because I was too silly to see how she may be the product of the trauma within her family. This book shows that Holly Jackson gets better with each book she writes and I can't wait to follow her through out her career.

i also wanted to say that I immensely appreciate the portrayal of domestic abuse in this book. Rachel is a victim but she is more than that , she is intelligent and all of her actions are done out of the love for her family. I think it is one of the best portrayals of a DA victim I've ever read, the fact that she only chose to break free from Charlie when her daughters life was in danger, her constant sacrifice for that life and how despite being in a position of weakness, she never stops fighting to protect her family. 'Family first' is probably the mantra to all abused mothers out there, I'm so thrilled Jackson took the time to cultivate an accurate portrayal
