Historia
After Lucy is found wandering the streets, covered in her best friend Savvy’s blood, everyone thinks she is a murderer. Lucy and Savvy were the golden girls of their small Texas town: pretty, smart, and enviable. Lucy married a dream guy with a big ring and an even bigger new home. Savvy was the social butterfly loved by all, and if you believe the rumors, especially popular with the men in town. It’s been years since that horrible night, a night Lucy can’t remember anything about, and she has since moved to LA and started a new life.

Kind if after-school-specialy, but good concept
Revisado: 10-20-23
I like the concept and took notes that I'll share with my work group. I just can't recommend this book whole-cloth to them though. The fact that a big plot point was a guy telling the woman who's the main character to "smile more" was jarring and distasteful. It's not that it's unrealistic, but it was played completely straight that, yeah, she was wrong for making his day worse for not smiling at him. So tonedeaf. It was really disappointing given that the material is good. (And to be clear, I consider this a "justified complaint". The solution? Don't do that again.) Also, I can't take a book that has such strong biblical themes into the office. I'd get pulled into HR. Without the nurse's comment about her church group and then the church scene, I'd have recommended it to my department heads. The big takeaway being that if church-heavy content isn't a problem for you, this won't be an issue. If you don't like having scripture snuck in with your professional development like we live in a theocracy, maybe still give it a read because I think it was good regardless? But at least forewarning: it gets churchy

Too many scissors
Revisado: 04-17-23
I was really okay until the scissors sounds lasted for what felt like forever. I even like haircut asmr, but this was over the top loud and way too long.

Historia
Ever have one of those days where life just plain sucks? Welcome to my last three months - ever since I caught my can’t-be-soon-enough-ex-husband cheating with his paralegal. I’m 35 years old, and I’ve lost my NYC apartment, my job, my money, and frankly, my dignity. But the final heartache in the suck sandwich of my life? My great-aunt Maggie died. The only family member who’s ever gotten me. Even after death, though, she’s helping me get back up again. Too bad that bravado only lasts as long as it takes to drive into Huckleberry Hills. And see the house.

This was really nice
Revisado: 04-17-23
I guess I'm old enough now to have a midlife crisis book for people my age, and I've gotta say, I dig it.
it's a really fun read, and as a dv survivor, I found out neither pandering nor triggering. Also, fantastic affirmative consent in the steamy bits. Loved it.
The best thing for me is that it manages a "person in over their head" plot without piling it on so hard that it stressed me out, which that kind of thing usually does.
I found the parents to be a little inconsistent, but frankly? That could scan for parents given the generations involved, and the hoarding was treated really respectfully.
So, good read. I hope to read more from this author.

After a long and eventful life, Allan Karlsson ends up in a nursing home, believing it to be his last stop. The only problem is that he's still in good health, and in one day, he turns 100. A big celebration is in the works, but Allan really isn't interested (and he'd like a bit more control over his vodka consumption). So he decides to escape. He climbs out the window in his slippers and embarks on a hilarious and entirely unexpected journey, involving, among other surprises, a suitcase stuffed with cash.

Historia
There’s a dress in Daisy’s closet. Silver. Low-backed. Tiny spaghetti straps. She’ll wear it to prom on the arm of Harris Zandari, the most gorgeous senior at her school. How did quiet, barely-there Daisy, land Harris Zandari? She watched him. She watched him so closely, and for so long, that she saw things no one else did. She saw through his charm, his bright, smiling face, to the sad, broken person underneath just waiting for the perfect sad, broken girl to complete him. Daisy was that girl.

Historia
Mark Russell & Shannon Wheeler's faithful yet irreverent approach to the Bible made their book God Is Disappointed in You a modern cult classic. Now, by popular demand, they turn their attention to the best parts left out of the canonical Bible, including the Midrash, the Apocrypha, Gnostic Gospels, and more! And if you thought the Bible had some weird stuff in it....

Thunder Perfect Mind
Revisado: 11-28-16
This book is an easy listen. It's short. I loved it.
It's a look at what Christianity used to be, a faith for all peoples. It's beautiful. This is meant to be comedic, and it is funny. However, if the church was still like this? I'd be there.

Trigger heavy and worth it.
Revisado: 07-26-16
This book deals directly with violence against women, so there are obviously triggers.
The bastard get what's coming to them in the end. Trust me and read through it.

Revisado: 07-19-16
I couldn't put it down, even though the triggers came early and often. usually the ending at least pays off, but this one didn't. Don't start this one. You won't be able to quit it and it'll put you through the wringer. I'd look into the author's other works.
