5 star books


Here are six books I've read so far this year that I've given a 5 star rating to.
I highly recommend each one! I've linked each to Amazon for ease of finding.

What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty
The Kind Worth Killing by Peter Swanson
Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
Defending Jacob by William Landay

I'd love to hear your thoughts on any of the above books! Did you love them as well? Or maybe they weren't your favorite? Let's chat in the comments below!

Happy Reading!

    I don't disagree, BUT Defending Jacob has the sloppiest science. The dad cannot pass an X-linked genetic trait to his son! I cannot believe that someone who was smart enough to go to Yale Law could make such a simple biology mistake, but there you have it. The editors and writer should be embarrassed.

      I must admit that I did not even notice that, so thanks for bringing it to my attention. I had never seen anyone else mention that about Defending Jacob before. Did you still enjoy the book or was it too difficult to get past that?

The Book of Essie by Meghan MacLean Weir

Rating 4/5 stars Genre Fiction - Contemporary Summary The Hicks have made quite a name for themselves as an upstanding, virtuous family with their own reality show, Six for Hicks .

The Other Woman by Sandie Jones

Rating 4.5/5 stars Genre Fiction - Suspense Summary She looks beautiful in her wedding dress. It fits her perfectly and is exactly what I'd imagined she'd go for: elegant, understated, and unique—just like her. My heart breaks that her days will never come, but she doesn't need to know that yet. I think about the guests who won't attend, the picture frames with no photographs, the first dance that will be silent, the cake that won't get eaten, and I feel my resolve weakening. I pull myself up. This is not a time for doubt. There is still so much work to do, so much more pain to inflict, but I will not be deterred. I failed once before, but this time, I'll get it right. There's too much at stake to get it wrong. (from the Prologue of The Other Woman by Sandie Jones) When Emily meets Adam, they quickly fall for each other and make plans for their future together. All appears fine and dandy until Emily meets her future mother-in-law, Pammie...
