The Forty Elephants | Erin Bledsoe
Pickpick

Found this book interesting and entertaining! The characters were fun, the story was intriguing and it was an easy read. The only issue I had was the ending. It felt rushed and incomplete. And why did Alice never see her beau again?! I wanted a happy ending for them. But the dynamics of Alice being placed in a power position in The Mint was really fascinating and not something that you would expect in that time frame. Overall, loved it!

This book was so hard to stomach, but the story was so addicting. For anyone who has suffered from spousal abuse or abuse in general, I would not recommend reading this book.

This definitely was not in my top 10 favorite Jodi Picoult books. I found it confusing, and too long. Interesting concept for sure, just not for me.

When Women Were Dragons | Kelly Barnhill
Pickpick

I found it hard to get into at the beginning, but as the story unfolded, I found myself admiring the tenacity of Alex and how fast she had to grow up. Yes, the book was somewhat repetitive and lagged a bit, but my overall take was that sometimes people are dealt a hard hand, and it‘s what they make of it, and who they surround themselves with for support that count most in this world. Also, let‘s be less judgmental to people we don‘t understand.

While it was a super predictable book, it was cute and funny in all the right places. Perfect summer reading!

If you are looking for a dramatic book with lots of twists and turns…this is not it. While an interesting story, it was one I mustered through rather than being excited to read.

I loved this book SO much! It was interesting and quirky, and I may have laughed out loud numerous times! Super smart and witty.

Maybe the voices in the audiobook were too much, but this was definitely a summer porn book and wasn‘t all that interesting.

WHY didn‘t I get the second book before I was done, so I could keep reading!?! Loved the first book of this series, and cannot wait to read more!

I absolutely devoured this book in one day and am left sorely disappointed because I don‘t have book 2 yet. I loved this! So fun, interesting and super hot! Can‘t wait for the next two!

The Fifth Season | N. K. Jemisin

It took me a looonnngg time to even grasp what this book was about, but once I got into it, I enjoyed it. I‘m on the second book now, and it is the same. You have to get your bearings to understand it.

rwmg I persevered my way through the whole trilogy so eventually got a better understanding of what was going on, but the struggle put me off reading anything else of hers 6mo

Literally one of the worst books ever. Would not recommend.

I wasn‘t sure about this book at first. It started off a little slow and I didn‘t really understand what was going on, but as we got further, I started to enjoy the relationship between Iris and Kip. I like the ending of the book and am excited to see what happens in the next book.

This book wasn‘t what I expected. While it lagged in some spots, I loved how towards the end, everything I thought or expected, turned out to be wrong.

Probably my favourite book in the hunger Games series. I also loved the book way more than the movie.

I liked this book! Lots of twists and turns, and Al oat everything gets wrapped up in the end. I just wish there had been a final resolution with the dad.

Allthebookclubs Yes, the dad turned out to be such an awful character. I‘d have liked to see him confronted and have him sputtering about it. 12mo

This book was good, but there was no big plot twist or event that happens to keep you intrigued. It‘s just a good, solid read.

I think everyone should read this book to gain a little more understanding and empathy for people with special needs. This book was super insightful, but also a fun read.

Never have I ever disliked a main character like Juniper in my life. She was so egotistical and narcissistic, and the selfishness of her was beyond disgusting. The only thing that kept me reading was the hope she would get what was coming to her.

I didn‘t think I was going to enjoy this book as much as I did. While the imagery of what the women had to do to make themselves appealing was uncomfortable, I felt like I came out of this book with so much more knowledge. I enjoyed reading about the relationships between women during that time.

I definitely would never call this book a thriller, more like an afternoon read that was written well

Love love loved this book! Wasn‘t expecting the reason why Anders wasn‘t into Wren romantically, and then the story made me so weepy, but in the best way! I loved the author‘s style of writing, and can‘t wait to read whatever she writes next!

The Girls: A Novel | Emma Cline
Mehso-so

This story was ok. The problem I have with it, is that no 14 year old girl is as worldly, experienced and intelligent thinking as the one we are to believe is the main character of this story, so that makes me feel this whole book is fake and non-believable. She called herself unintelligent numerous times, yet, she speaks like someone who has lived a long, and well lived life when she is speaking as her 14 year old self. So I‘m quite disappointed.

I am so sad that this is the end of the series. I loved these books so much and I cried a lot during this one. Such a great way to tie up a lot of loose ends, I got the ending I wanted for Nesta and who doesn‘t love a happy ending. Would be so great if she did a little spin off on Nyx in the future though! Just a thought…

Kboltz I hear there is another coming out!!! 1y

What isn‘t to live about these books? Although I did think this was going to be more about Nesta, I still loved the story, the characters and where this is going towards the last book.

This was such a fun book! Loved that it wasn‘t the same old group of young or middle aged women,but an older, wiser group of women who had a ton of experience as ‘hit women‘.

I liked this book! It was an easy read, with storylines that were easy to follow…perfect for a long weekend! Nothing deep or complicated here though, so not great for a book club pick.

When Breath Becomes Air | Paul Kalanithi

While I got the point of this story, it was very much a wordy memoir that really wasn‘t my type of book to enjoy, and I didn‘t know that going in. I found it filled with too much doctor and science jargon for my personal taste, although towards the end, the story itself took on a touching note.

I enjoyed this book so much, but was SO disappointed at the end! I feel like I didn‘t get a proper ending and a resolve. Ugh. Why did you have to do that to me Ruth Ware?!
