Pining for You is going to end up being a book I go back to again and again – a rare thing for me, as I … Continue reading Pining for You by Stef Ferrari

Heather is one of those books that’s so hard to review because I want to say as little about it as possible while shouting its praise from the rooftops. It’s an intriguing and surprising mystery with a strong sense of place, and it also explores the bonds between sisters. If you liked God of the Woods you’ll like Heather (but Heather is better, IMO). The novel takes place in dual timelines between the present day … Continue reading Heather by Caitlin Mullen

What a time I had with this one! Lainey lives in a small lake-side town in Wisconsin. She suffers from chronic migraines and being part of the gig economy in a small town doesn’t exactly give her great medical cover. She works as a handyman, ride share driver, carpenter and, on the side for herself, an artist, living a hand-to-mouth existence. Her small town is known for the work of a famous architect and Lainey … Continue reading Married with Benefits by Ellie Palmer
