The Arrangement allows a glimpse into a lifestyle that feels like an escape from reality. This story had me hooked right from the start. Lucy and Owen decide to set some rules in order to have an open marriage. The rules alone fascinated me. Oh, and the humor. I'd read this book again just for the humor.
I just love debuts! Have I mentioned that? This author is excellent at writing that is filled with emotion. I had tears running down my face for the first few chapters!
An impossible love story like you've never read before. A story of grief, forgiveness, strong hints of humor throughout and intense longing. The longing! Read this book just to experience the longing.
Reading a debut, and especially one that is an excellent story feels like making a discovery. I found a new author, (most times based on word of mouth) and is so exciting! This one, part mystery, part thriller, is not to be missed!
Returning home after her father dies, Emma finds that after having been away for sixteen years, some things, like feeling at home and connected to her neighbors horses, especially Jack, hasn’t changed, but her relationship with her childhood friend, Jillian, seems it will never be the same.
Magical! This book is magical. Set in 1920's Alaska, Jack and Mabel are making a life for themselves. Having never had children, they left a comfortable life to start over.
Every so often, I just need to read a thriller or suspense kind of novel. This one was a gripping, page turning book that kept my attention on every page! Highly recommend this dark and twisty novel.
This book seemed very light hearted and sweet for the first 3/4's of the book. For a romance, it has a very unusual ending, but I like being surprised and I don't need the same kind of ending to every story. This was the first Jane Green novel I've read, but will add her other books to my TBR list.
If only I hadn't needed to go to work and interact with my family, I would have read this book from cover to cover and not put it down. I was hooked on every page and could not wait to get back to it.
Awesome debut novel! Burying the Honeysuckle Girls is a story told with dual time lines. Jinn's story, 1937 Alabama setting, alternates with her great-granddaughter, Althea's, which is set in 2012 Alabama.
Outstanding! Be prepared, a story of loss, grief, love and forgiveness, and Lily Mae had a lot to forgive. Have the tissues handy.
Loved the book from beginning to end. Loved the title and the significance behind it. We should all play "tell me three things" with someone we love.
Yes. This is a fantastic book. Each chapter is sort of a motivational-tell-all essay. Honest and enlightening. I always want to read an inspiring memoir type book every year and this one was super. I love Shonda Rhimes and enjoyed several seasons of Grey's Anatomy, so this one made me curious.
Another amazing debut novel! I feel so lucky that I'm in several readers groups that always steer me in the right direction.
Fast paced novel with secrets, layered upon secrets. I read this book in a day and a half. Such a page-turner! I couldn't put it down for long, I just had to know what happened next!
Loved the back and forth contemporary and historical perspectives, and I always enjoy reading fascinating journal entries. The tension built right up until the end and my heart is still racing from reading the last third of the book. Highly recommend this one.
Written in lyrical prose, this is a story of one woman's journey through loss and betrayal to courage as she discovers truths and resolves to make a new life for herself.
Twisted and twisty! Every detail, no matter how small, is important to the story and you will still never guess how it is all revealed at the end.
