I Need You to Read This
Ok but actually. I do need you to read this. Not because it is a fun title to a book, but because it is a compelling thriller that does a fantastic job of not allowing you to see where the twist will come from. As someone who reads this genre a lot, I find that there is a formula that some authors get into with their writing and so the thrilling twist can sometime seem very predictable in what will happen next. Namely, cause I watch a lot of thrillers and read a lot of thrillers so it just can feel stale at moments.

Book Review: The Women by Kristin Hannah
Kristin Hannah’s “The Women,” is a captivating journey that will tear you apart and then gently piece you back together. Despite not being a fan of historical fiction, I found myself engrossed in this novel, thanks to Hannah’s intricate writing style and compelling characters, particularly the main character, Frankie, a war nurse in Vietnam. I recently learned that Hannah had conceived this idea in 1997, and I’m glad she waited until she was ready to write it.

Winds howled and rain poured for days, destroying homes, flooding fields, and uprooting the trees of the garden . Mirabel’s father, weakened by age, stood by the wreckage of the garden with tears full in his eyes, but he refused to give up. "We’ll rebuild," he had said. But now, with him gone, Mirabel was left to carry on that promise alone.
