Funny Story by Emily Henry

5.0

Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez

5.0

I’ve  read all three of the Part Of Your World series, and they’re all so good and not long enough!

I love funny and emotional books and Just For The Summer was my most-anticipated read so far this year. The deepest story so far where the characters do the most work on themselves.. And my heart was warmed with that ending. 

Trying to figure out who’ll get the next book!

Thanks to NetGalley for the chance to read this. 

The Second Cut by Louise Welsh

5.0

Less of a gap before the next Rilke book, please.

Received from Netgalley, but forgot about it, bought the paperback and audio.

When in Rome by Sarah Adams

4.0

Last Summer on State Street by Toya Wolfe

5.0

Big Swiss by Jen Beagin

4.0

This was so engaging and different and unexpected. Character and theme over plot but I appreciated everything. 

Thanks to NetGalley for the chance to read this.

I also bought the audio and it’s one of the best. 

Has Anyone Seen Charlotte Salter? by Nicci French

4.0

This is my favourite Nicci French I’ve read so far. Usually I read several books at once, but with Nicci French I’m in it til I finish. Most involved plot and I guessed wrong, which I enjoyed. 

I hope this is the start of another series, too.

Thanks to NetGalley for the chance to read this.

The List of Suspicious Things by Jennie Godfrey

4.0

On the list of books that made me cry. I loved Miv and the chorus and community. Thought of them when I wasn't reading.

Ended with a wish that more current books were as emotional and everything as this.

Impatiently waiting for Jennie Godfrey's next book.

Thanks to Netgalley for the chance to read this, and I also bought the audio.

The Woman on the Ledge by Ruth Mancini

3.0

I was right there with this until it was implied that using a wheelchair would be worse than dying from jumping off a roof.

It’s like I want these characters in another storyline. 

Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this for an honest review.
