July Book Review

Welcome to this month's book review.  Three good books for you this month.  It was a decent month with three good reads.  Let's get started

First up, 

A Good Marriage by Kimberly McCreight.  Essentially, there are a whole bunch of couples who interact with each other because of their kids, their jobs or mutual relationships.  Each admires one thing or another about the other's marriages.  But they all have hidden secrets, checkered pasts and some weird quirks.  When one of the moms is killed in her own home, the investigation will bring a lot of those things to light.  It is a twisted tale of connections that have all gone awry.  

Next up


The Light Over London by Julia Kelly.  I really enjoyed this one.  An estate sale leads to the discovery of a small box and journal.  This find identifies a small town girl who becomes one of the women helping with the war effort.  She has good friends, meets and marries who she thinks is her dream guy, and learns a lot about herself and about her misjudgment of other people. It has love, loss, more love.....an enjoyable read.

Lastly, this month



All Adults Here by Emma Straub.  Well the title says it all.  This family which consist of a mom and two adult sons and one adult daughter are making their way through life and encountering absolutely everything that could possible come up.  This is not a morally upright read, so just be prepared.  However, it is not overly descriptive in a graphic way.  I always need a character or two to resonate with and pull for.  This book has that, so I was able to enjoy the read. And it gave me an appreciation for those I call family.

Hope you are reading some good stuff too. 

Make it a great week!
