Fave author, great family
I do love Marian Keyes, the way she's able to take the every day and make it interesting. I couldn't put this down and loved the dynamics of the characters.

For some reason I couldn't keep hold off who was who's partner in the beginning as it switches perspectives.

I really loved the twists in the story.


There's a trigger warning for this book worth noting for those with history for of eating disorders.

Anyone else just love a good traveling adventurous story? I do. Lorri Dudley’s Leeward Island series take me to a place full of adventure. All the books can be read as standalone books, you do run into familiar characters at various points in the books but they are just passing mentions and do not leave you feeling like you are missing something; I always look forward to seeing how the former characters are doing now

This was a great book it caught my attention right off with the characters name, Delight :) . I have never seen a name like that before. I also love stories about the revolutionary war and this one was very interesting with a Redcoat switching to the Patriot cause. Plus I loved the story included by Jill Stengl. I highly recommend reading this book.
I volunteered to read this book from Barbour Publishing in return for my honest feedback. The thoughts and opinions expressed with in are my own.

Movie Favorite

"It’s Daniel Auteuil, Isabel Adjani… It’s such an incredible piece. It takes place ostensibly in Paris around the time of the massacre of the Protestants by the Catholic ruling family. Basically under the auspices of bringing them in, in the guise of a joint wedding that’s going to unite the Huguenots and the royal class, and this massacre takes place. And it’s dirty, and you can almost smell the clothes, and it’s just so well done. It’s a great story, and I just love watching it."

"If I had to choose my number 1 favorite book of all time, it would be this. (And as this is widely considered one of the great American novels, I’m clearly not the only person who’s been hugely affected by it.) White Noise uses the story of a college professor and his family in small Midwestern town to explore American paranoia, consumerism, and novelty academic intellectualism. I love this book for its ability to to be dark, beautiful, smart, and hysterically funny, all at the same time."

I love the cover of this book and thought there would be a scene in the story with her wearing it and there is in a way but not how I pictured it. I liked the whole good and evil of the characters, though I wont give too much away by elaborating.

I loved Arriane and Penn.

One thing that seemed rather strange to me was how he never really showed any interest in her but she couldn't help but be drawn to him...

I thought this book was really cleverly written. It is a challenging read - challenging because it looks things in the eye which most of us shy away from. It breaks down preconceived ideas, prejudice and assumptions.

It is grim at times, sad, heartbreaking but ultimately uplifting. I thought the characterisation was amazing. The narrative style skillfully portrays a clever woman trapped inside the body of somebody who has limited ability to communicate.

The love story was movingly beautiful but gritty and not over sentimental.

Fabulous debut!
