#BookReview The Hypnotist’s Love Story by Liane Moriarty

I'm so torn on this book! The Hypnotist's Love Story is a marvelous stand alone by the author of Big Little Lies, Liane Moriarty. This book is full of deceit, stalkers, a very strange love story, and life lessons. Oh, and did I mention a little hypnotherapy? It's kind of obvious, since it is in…

#BookReview Mrs. Grant and Madame Jule by Jennifer Chiaverini

  Mrs. Grant and Madame Jule is a riveting drama that follows the lives of Julia, a young and wealthy woman, and Jule, her slave. If I had to limit this book's description to two words, I would call it a historical drama. Typically, I am not a fan of books like this but somehow…

#BookReview Driving on the Left by Gail Ward Olmsted

The Book Review Driving on the Left is a beautiful character drama following a mother and a daughter on their trip in Ireland. This beautiful story really blew my socks off - I wasn't expecting this fantastic story in what sounded like a cheesey romance novel. Following Jackie and Becca and their somewhat parallel stories…
