Historia
Alison has it all. A doting husband, adorable daughter, and a career on the rise - she's just been given her first murder case to defend. But all is never as it seems...Just one more night. Then I'll end it. Alison drinks too much. She's neglecting her family. And she's having an affair with a colleague whose taste for pushing boundaries may be more than she can handle. I did it. I killed him. I should be locked up. Alison's client doesn't deny that she stabbed her husband - she wants to plead guilty. And yet something about her story is deeply amiss.

This was WILD
Revisado: 09-14-21
Slow to start for the first bit, but I was rewarded when it took me on a wild ride by around the halfway point to the end. It gets CRAZY.
Some triggering content throughout, but not what I would consider excessive since it fit the genre. Really good. Great book club book, gave us great discussion material.

Historia
A close friendship is one of the most influential and important relationships a human life can contain. Anyone will tell you that! But for all the rosy sentiments surrounding friendship, most people don’t talk much about what it really takes to stay close for the long haul. Now two friends, Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman, tell the story of their equally messy and life-affirming big friendship in this honest and hilarious book that chronicles their first decade in one another’s lives.

Disappointing and dry
Revisado: 09-14-21
This was a book club read and I went into it pretty hopeful, but found the overall book pretty disappointing.
First, the good: it is a really fast read, I finished over the course of just a few days. It reads more as a memoir. That’s all I have to say about that.
Now, the rest: the performance was really dry and monotone. The third person reading with authors reading each others’ parts - it was difficult to keep up with and put me off.
Their friendship sounds kind of exhausting and one-sided, I just don’t see the chemistry from what was in this book and I’m certainly not jumping at the chance to listen to their podcast. I kept hearing them describe themselves as hysterically funny, but I found zero comedy - or really ANY emotional depth throughout the book.
Their life experiences don’t seem relatable, even as their target demographic (maybe? I’m their age, anyway). Sorry, can’t relate to your idea of “surviving the economic crash right out of college” with a six-figure job, job that sponsors your visa, or the plethora of traveling and indulgent girls’ trips. And only six years of friendship before they turn to a couples counselor? Hmm. Ok.
Ultimately, good for them - but I learned nothing from this book that would benefit my actual relationships.
The best thing about this book is that it provided an abundance of discussion for my book club.

Historia
For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand.

Some books stay with you
Revisado: 03-20-21
This book was everything. My book club read it last summer and it has stayed with me ever since. It’s like a high we have been chasing but can never seem to reach again.

Historia
Despite her success setting a self-supported Fastest Known Time record on the Pacific Crest Trail in 2013, Heather “Anish” Anderson still had such deep-seated insecurities that she became convinced her feat had been a fluke. So two years later she set out again, this time hiking through mud, rocks, and mountain blazes to crush her constant self-doubt and seek the true source of her strength and purpose. The 2,189 miles of the Appalachian Trail, from Maine to Georgia, did not make it easy.

Beautiful, empowering story
Revisado: 03-20-21
This read had me homesick for the trail! I enjoyed living vicariously through Anish’s adventures. It was raw, real, painful, suspenseful, beautiful - a journey of digging down and finding the grit to keep going and not only discovering self, but learning to love self, too. I felt like I was there hiking beside her. Ended in happy tears. Highly recommend.
