I love when a book surprises me! These totally did :)
I tend to skip super bestsellers with lots of hype & this was one of them for a long time. But during a family trip with nothing else to read I cracked it open & fell in love.
A friendship between an old lady & octopus? Yes, actually.
Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
I have high expectations for mystery & the summary didn't really catch my attention but this story of family lore in a crumbling sea side mansion steeped in it's own mystery hooked me immediately.
The Only One Left by Riley Sager
A surprisingly quick read of life long friendship, assumed betrayal & the things we shoudn't leave unsaid.
Goldenseal by Maria Hummel
As a Millennial myself, I tend to shy away from anything too “on the nose” but Kate Kennedy's funny, nostalgic & downright correct memoir of growing up Millennial had me laugh/crying over years gone by.
One in a Millennial: Friendship & Feelings
Went into this with very mid expectations & ended up absolutely loving it! Great banter & perfect spice!
The True Love Experiment by Christine Lauren
I read this as part of a book club & really expected to slog my way through the first book, but I was hooked! Finished the whole series in a summer.
A Court of Thorns and Roses Series
I read the first book in the series with my daughter because it's technically YA. But I was totally hooked with the characters & mystery!
