Welcome! I document my adventures in reading, writing, and drinking (mostly coffee).
All in Contemporary Fiction
This book is a bit absurd and ridiculous and won’t be for everyone but I enjoyed these unhinged teenage sisters - what teenager isn’t a bit unhinged? - and their wayward parents (mid divorce/complicated relationship). I adored the girls - all three of them and felt tender toward both Caterine and Bud as they approached the “what’s next-ness” of midlife. Throw in a bit of romance and an attempt to take down a truly odd billionaire and you have a delightful little read!
Draaaaama in the ice dancing arena!! I love a sports themed novel!⛸️
Every challenge faced by our main characters, Katarina and Heath, kept me guessing. Truly two wild cards.

Review: Quirky, endearing, lovable main characters. An excellent read for the chronically online.
Dark and dramatic, for all the fans of the show Ozark

When Tara Connelly is released from prison after serving eighteen months on a drug charge, she knows rebuilding her life at thirty years old won’t be easy. With no money and no prospects, she returns home to live with her siblings, who are both busy with their own problems. Her brother, a single dad, struggles with the ongoing effects of a brain injury he sustained years ago, and her sister’s fragile facade of calm and order is cracking under the burden of big secrets. Life becomes even more complicated when the cop who put her in prison keeps showing up unannounced, leaving Tara to wonder what he wants from her now.
