Rocky has become obsessed with the death of a young man from Jamie’s school year - as if she hasn’t enough to deal with, with her own increasingly perplexing medical issues (and I thank the NHS that our system is nothing like Rocky’s experiences!).
I love Catherine Newmans’s witty, clever, heartfelt writing. One minute I’m laughing along, the next moment I’m empathising with her and reminiscing about her (my) children when they were small - and feeling as emotional as she does! Ahh, menopausal motherhood!
This book just seemed to finish far too quickly for me - I enjoyed everything about it.
Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for my copy. All opinions are my own!

I’ve always appreciated that this series has given us glimpses into many different worlds of 1900’s New York City. As a fan of movies, this setting was very fun. Having said that, the pacing was really off here, which was disappointing. The climax is satisfying, however. I enjoy spending time with the characters, although some growth would be nice. I did feel transported to the time period as I read. Fans of the series will appreciate time with the characters even if this isn’t the strongest book in the series.

Rosemary’s Baby ( Rosemary book 1)
By Ira Levin
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Rosemary Woodhouse and her struggling actor-husband, Guy, move into the Bramford, an old New York City apartment building with an ominous reputation and only elderly residents. Neighbours Roman and Minnie Castavet soon come nosing around to welcome them; despite Rosemary's reservations about their eccentricity and the weird noises that she keeps hearing, her husband starts spending time with them. Shortly after Guy lands a plum Broadway role, Rosemary becomes pregnant, and the Castavets start taking a special interest in her welfare. As the sickened Rosemary becomes increasingly isolated, she begins to suspect that the Castavets' circle is not what it seems.
This is a book I’ve been wanting to read for so long and I finally got round to it! I think I was expecting more while I did enjoy the read it didn’t live up to expectations. It was chilling in places but fell a bit flat for me!
