My Review:
What the Heck Did I Just Read!? This book was a complete mind-fuck and I loved it! Yes it was over the top and you have to be able to suspend your belief a little bit. That usually drives me bonkers but I hated everyone in this book so it worked. 

The story is told in two different timelines, when the girls are teens and thirty years later. The before chapters, when they were younger, made me feel all kinds of emotions and I enjoyed them the most because of that. There are many twists and turns...right up until the end. Some of them even I didn't see and that's saying a lot because I can usually figure them out.

I loved the writing, it was so easy to read and kept me reading. I really enjoyed how I as the reader got to experience the unfolding of the story along with Lucy as she learned more about her aunt and her own mother. It was definitely a case of... just when you thought you knew...think again - and then maybe...think again.

Must Love Books by Shauna Robinson

My rating: 3.5 Stars A book about books and a girl who loves books? Yes please! Who could not love a premise like this? I loved the realistic characters and I felt for Nora, she captured my heart. I was really cheering a romance on for her but alas, it was not meant to be I guess. I appreciated that the author handled the mental health issues with sensitivity and care, who of us has not need to dig deep and make a hard decision based on what is best for us. It was very brave of the author to put working for a publishing house in a bad light and we all know this is fiction! Even though the book started off a bit slow for me it was a great way to spend a cozy Sunday afternoon and I found it very entertaining. With many thanks to NetGalley, Shauna Robinson and Sourcebooks Landmark for the giving of the ARC. View all my reviews
