Boss Up! by Lindsay Teague Moreno // This book was written for female entrepreneurs, specifically with mothers in mind. That said, I don't feel like it is limited to just moms. LTM gives some great business building advice, including finding your specific niche and starting out with the end goal in mind and how you can scale to the level you want. It is no fluff but also has humor and real life truth to keep you engaged.
Turtles All The Way Down by John Green // Another John Green titled with tragic, almost pretentious teens that deal with life struggles more rationally than adults do. Not saying that it can't happen but it is all too idealized sometimes. Which I know it is ironic to say about characters struggling with markedly less than idea lives. Just saying, this is typical John Green. All that aside, I did like the storyline enough. This does tackle mental illness and details self harm, and obsessive thoughts and compulsions, so if that is something that you struggle with, take caution.
Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell // A cozy thriller that is dark and edgy. I dont feel like I am doing a great job reviewing this book to anyone. I enjoyed it and finished it in a day while traveling, but I did feel like I was predicting the twists before they were happening. I wasn't 100% on all of them but for many, I was close. I do feel like Jewell took a different approach to the "missing child" trope. Also her characters were incredibly well fleshed out. Maybe that is why I felt like I knew what was coming next.
The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena // I am a True Crime junkie. I love thrillers and suspense and a good ole whodunnit. This one just missed the mark. The story kept me engaged but the ending ruined the whole book. I feel like the actions at the height of the plot just didn't seem true to who the author portrays them to be throughout the rest of the book.
The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen // I really enjoyed this one. I felt like it was a truly unique twist on the Husband, Wife, Mistress storyline. I was completely thrown off by the plot twist. I was worried it would be disjointed with two authors but it was a great read. Definitely a page turner!
An Anonymous Girl by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen // After The Wife Between Us, I wanted to try something else from Hendricks or Pekkanen and was excited to see they cowrote another. This one was really good as well. It was a lot more creepy and unsettling than The Wife but a touch more predictable. Still really good!
