Recently Read

My kindle is pretty much always with me. I love to read during any pocket of downtime - whether it's a few chapters on a quiet Sunday morning with coffee, a couple pages before bed, or a long stretch while on a flight. A few books I've recently read and enjoyed have been a mix of my usual rom-com and thrillers, and some curveballs I wasn't expecting to like as much as I did.

Don't Believe It - Charlie Donlea
 After a documentary film maker successfully exonerated two wrongly-convicted felons, she sets her sights on uncovering the truth from a crime in St. Lucia, which took place ten years prior. So many twists in this thrilling novel up until the very end.

Remarkably Bright Creatures - Shelby Van Pelt
This one was definitely a different plot than I typically gravitate toward but really enjoyed it! The chapters bounce between the three main characters, including an octopus in captivity's perspective. Well written and kept my interest to see how it plays out.

The Thousandth Floor - Katharine McGee
Set in NYC in 2118, this "Gossip Girl"-esque book was intriguing. It is centered around a high school clique who all live in the Manhattan Tower. Filled with lies, deceit, drugs - and the hierarchy of status, wealth and socioeconomic class dependent on which floor your family lived on.

The Girl Who Was Taken - Charlie Donlea
Page-turner that I flew through on Labor Day Weekend. Thriller about multiple girls going missing in the town and neighboring states. The chapters flip between past and present, with different characters' perspectives. As the sister of one of the missing girl's goes on a hunt for clues, I couldn't put it down as she uncovers the disturbing truth.

This Summer Will Be Different - Carley Fortune
I haven't read a Carley Fortune book I didn't love, and this novel was no exception. A story about friendship, love and timing that spans multiple years and stages of life.

Darling Girls - Sally Hepworth
Three foster sisters are being suspected of murder when a body is found under the foster home they grew up in. It's a thrilling tale of loyalty, love and secrets.
