The Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn
3.0
Decent enough but a bit slow and repetitive towards the middle.
Not quite as good as "girl on the train" which I remember also had a female alcoholic protagonist

A Simple Favour by Darcey Bell
2.0
A rare occasion of Hollywood managing to scrape together something for the screen.
Movie wasn't all that, but do yourself a simple favour a chose the movie over the book if you must.

No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference by Greta Thunberg
4.0
As a book- it's repetitive. If you read it as solely a book, you'll likely be disappointed.
These are speeches. The point she makes in many of her speeches is that people don't listen. So she repeats herself. It's repetitive because her argument & agenda isn't changing.
Whether a "puppet" or not - the way the speeches are delivered and what they've been inspiring the young generation to do is what to judge here.
We can only hope they learn to use their voices but also take action. The same for the rest of us.

Get Your Sh*t Together by Sarah Knight

Lots of padding & random references that disrupt understanding what point the author is repeating. Use SMART goals. There, saved you a few hours
The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming by David Wallace-Wells
3.0
Bit wordy for me and I got lost as the lists and sentences were sometimes a page long!
Seemed repetitive but that the subject matter at each range of warming.
Still informative and looks beyond the obvious possible outcomes. Not thought about human rights effects before
Still worth a read though a bit laborious

The Sustainable(ish) Living Guide: Everything You Need to Know to Make Small Changes That Make a Big Difference by Jen Gale
5.0
I was sceptical about purchasing another greening guide, having already read one & seeing repetitive lists of tips on line. How ever the title of this got my attention, as the element of "ish" / imperfection from the first guide/ book was perhaps my favourite thing about it.
Some areas of this I skipped over (the fewer encounters I have with kids parties the happier I am) but it does not matter if you do so.
It was a bit like revision of what's still on my baby steps list but I did also pick up new tips (fridge fans going to get it next week). Mostly I liked the authenticity of confessions.
For someone reading something like this for the first time it's just a reassuring As it is jam packed with ideas for you . Worth a read for either party

Miss Minimalist: Inspiration to Downsize, Declutter, and Simplify by Francine Jay

As it's blogs it is repetitive. One or 2 interesting perspectives against consumerism
This Is Going to Hurt by Adam Kay
4.0
I went to see Adam read this before I read it myself. Despite being able to second guess where jokes were heading I did laugh lots.
Great book to dip in and out of . Subject matters covered by many medical memoirs but this time executed better with more direction and clarity.
I've the sequel to read

The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary
4.0
Easy read but it felt like it was plodding along after the half way point
