The Silent Sister by Diane Chamberlain

The Silent Sister by Diane Chamberlain
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was so much better than I was expecting. It is told within three parts and jumps between two of the characters. This was fast paced and kept my interest the whole time. There were so many secrets to keep the movement of the story going. I did not see one of the jaw dropping moments coming. I was expecting the last twist as it was pretty easy to figure out though. It did not take away from the story since there were some twists beforehand that were not expected.

Overall, I loved this one.

Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez

Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 Stars

I am a huge fan of Abby Jimenez and was excited for this one. I love fake dating and this one took it to another level.

This one is hard for me. It was a slow burn romance, but I never got the build up I wanted. It was more private thoughts than actually seeing the connection between the characters if that makes sense. I wanted more.

I still liked this one but just not as much as I was hoping for.

The Twin by Natasha Preston

The Twin by Natasha Preston
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I did not realize this was Young Adult when I picked it up, but it does read YA and follows twin sisters in high school. However; I was really pulled into the audiobook on this one. It was pretty easy to figure out what was going to happen in the end and I did not really see that as a "plot twist". I was hoping for some really big plot twist that came out of nowhere, but it was very lack luster. I was not a fan of the ending as it just ended. I literally was in bed and said out loud, "this is how it ends."

However; the story kept my interest and I enjoyed it up until the closing pages.

Don't Let Her Stay by Nicola Sanders

Don't Let Her Stay by Nicola Sanders
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I was seeing this one all over social media and was excited to jump into it.

I did not really get psychological thriller like I wanted too. Chloe brought bratty child even though she was 20/21 years old. She brought annoying and spoiled brat more than anything crazy and twisty with her behaviors. She never really did anything besides make threats and tattle.

The twist was underwhelming to me as well. I figured out the twist within the twist quickly. Sadly, this one just did not live up to the hype for me. It was good but nothing that blew me away.

Stuff I'd Only Tell God: A Guided Journal of Courageous Honesty, Obsessive Truth-Telling, and Beautifully Ruthless Self-Discovery by Jennifer Dukes Lee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was sent a copy of this book from a publisher/publicity team/giveaway. My ratings and reviews will be my own personal opinions and are in no way influenced by publishers or authors who may have sent me books to review.

I have really gotten into journaling over the last year or so and I am always looking for new topics and prompts to challenge myself and my mind. I was excited for this one.

This has so many different questions which I love. It is broken down into many different parts: people in your life, your past, right now, your ways, honesty, and your future. There are some pages I will skip and others that have really challenged me. It has also been great for my mind to have to think about things from my past and people in my past. I have loved reflecting on some of my past memories.

I have just jumped around and have been having fun with all of the questions. I have a digital journal and I have also been using this for that. I switch between filling out the actual book and writing around a topic in my digital form.

Overall, this is great and I am loving it.

The Summer Deal by Jill Shalvis

The Summer Deal by Jill Shalvis
My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Based on the cover, I was not expecting this. I have read a few Jill Shalvis and this is probably my favorite so far.

I am not a huge fan of high school bully tropes. This does follow everyone as adults but we get some journal entries from the past. I was not a huge fan of this, but it was better than some.

I loved the romance. I did want a little more of our couples though. I actually loved Kinsey and her romance so much more! I could have had a whole story around them and her medical issues could have brought some sobbing moments.

Overall, this was cute and I enjoyed it though.
