Book reviews of 2024 so far….

I’ve recently took up reading as a hobby this year and here are some that i’ve read in my book club…

1. The nightingale by Kristin Hannah- i’d give this a 8/10- The book is super sad and some parts are a little messed up but a super good read. Is a very sad and in some ways messed up but puts things into perspective during that time. It is not based on a true story but the way things play out and happen i’m sure are something people during the war could relate to.

2. None of this is true by Lisa Jewell- 9/10- This was the first book I picked up to read in book club and I could not put it down. It’s a thriller that just keeps you on the edge of wanting more. Definitely is my favorite.

3. It ends with us by Coleen Hoover- 9/10- Considering I don’t like romantic reads, this book hit a little to close to home with the abusive relationships in it. However, the book itself and the writing were phenomenal. I watched the movie after and was so disappointed in the movie. Truly was a sad day when I finished the movie.

We used to live here by Marcus Kliewer- 6/10- I had such high hopes for this book considering how much I loved thrillers/suspense reads. The ending was actually the worst ending and I hope they never turn this book into a movie. Most of the book was so good I was going on about how I loved it and then the end just shattered all my love for it. If you’re into a shitty ending this is the read for you definitely..

Has anyone else read any of these and can relate??? or am I just crazy…

The books reviewed here offer a blend of genres, catering to diverse tastes. 'The Nightingale' by Kristin Hannah captures the emotional turmoil of war, providing readers with a poignant narrative that resonates deeply. On the other hand, Lisa Jewell's 'None of This is True' presents a gripping thriller that keeps readers on the edge of their seats, showcasing Jewell's talent for weaving suspenseful tales. Colleen Hoover's 'It Ends with Us' addresses complex themes of love and abuse, inviting reflections on personal experiences and relationships. Meanwhile, Marcus Kliewer's 'We Used to Live Here' disappoints with its unsatisfactory conclusion, reminding us that not all stories deliver a fulfilling ending. Each of these books offers a unique perspective and emotional engagement; enthusiasts can reflect on their themes and characters, enhancing discussions about contemporary literature.
