by Ocean Vuong

An achingly beautiful novel depicting the immigrant experience as seen through the hard work of low wage jobs and how we treat those in this country who live on the margins. Highly recommend.

Wonderful complex relationships between friends that builds suspense throughout the book.

She's Come Undone

by Wally Lamb

View in Library Catalog

Delores Price has an unusual life with multiple ups and downs. She is an unloved fatty who hurts herself, a mental case who realizes (after many years) that she can love and be loved. This is not my favorite book of Lamb but is worth reading.

Venin are among us and take who we least expect. When true love is worth more to you than your own soul you know you are in deep water. Friends die and enemies who you thought were dead are not. War college gets dismantled and the real revelations begin.

The Woman Who Stole My Life

by Marian Keyes

Another excellent read by Marian Keyes! A rags (ish) to riches (ish) tale involving amystery illness and trails of raising a family ... the characters are so well developed that I miss (someof) them!

Death By Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake

by Sarah Graves

View in Library Catalog

Sarah's books are filled with humor and mystery. Nothing creepy... but gets you thinking. And of course, the setting of these dilemmas are based in a wonderful bakery in Eastport, Maine.

Himself

Dark yet delightful read. I enjoyed another book by this author so much I thought I’d try her first novel and it did not disappoint. If you like the supernatural (or even if you don’t think that’s your genre!) this is a wonderful read. Beautifully written.

Blue Sisters

Sisters with emotional baggage grieve their other sister’s death. I enjoyed the writing style and the characters were interesting. Ending was satisfying!

In The Company Of Cheerful Ladies

by Alexander McCall Smith

Another delightful No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency story. I enjoy the quirkiness of McCall Smith's take on Botswana society. I have read at least 7 of these books!
