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…
