Funny Story by Emily Henry
3.5
Never going to not pick up an Emily Henry, even if they're not always a favorite. This one was cute, I liked the characters. The premise was kind of flimsy to me but they had good chemistry!
Tom Lake by Ann Patchett
5.0
A DELICIOUS peak Ann Patchett. I loved the two different time settings and felt so invested in both narratives. The characters were so interesting and complex, especially the daughters. So good.
The Housekeeper and the Professor by Yōko Ogawa
5.0
This was such a lovely read. I loved The Memory Police so picked this up and it had such a similar vibe (obviously much less haunting). Yoko Ogawa writes in such a simple but emotionally impactful style, I instantly felt connected to these characters.
From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E.L. Konigsburg
4.0
Pure nostalgia! I loved this as a kid and this re-read lived up to my memory of it. I also loved the little illustrations within, and the context added afterwards in this edition.
Apples Never Fall by Liane Moriarty
3.5
Such a fun read. Liane Moriarty is so good at creating a cast of characters where each feels unique and fleshed out and necessary to the story. The ending was very ???? but I enjoyed the ride.
