July was a pretty busy month month-reading wise.
I’ve been keeping up with my summer bucket list by reading at least one book a week. And this month I definitely read some winners. Again, I don’t read any political, historical or non fiction books for the most part. I like either thrillers, chick lit or beach reads. So here’s a quick recap of what I read last month.
Eligible (Curtis Sittenfeld): So I was first a bit intimidated by the books (it’s 512 pages) but the chapters were super small which made reading a breeze. This book is advertised as the modern day version of Pride & Prejudice. Confession: never read it so literally have nothing to compare this too! Regardless, I thought this book was hysterical & loved this dysfunctional family.
Behind Closed Doors (B.A. Paris): This psychological thriller is totally a must read! It’s a bit old, but it’s about what seems to be the perfect marriage. Until things start to unravel & all I’m going to say is shit gets CRAZY! Read this book now!
The Last Time I Saw You (Liv Constantine): I was slightly disappointed in this book. I thought the plot twists were predictable. The author’s first book was excellent (read my review here) so I think I had high expectations for this book. It’s a decent, quick read with twists & turns but like I said you will see them coming a mile away.
Watching You (Lisa Jewell): Ok confession, I stopped reading this after a few chapters. It just didn’t hold my attention & I bummed because I was SOOO looking forward to reading this book. Maybe I’ll give it another go later this year.
The Friends We Keep (Jane Green): My favorite book that I read this month. This novel follows 3 friends from the time they’re in college to well into their adult lives. All the ups & downs of friendships are explored & secrets are revealed. I found this book to be extremely relatable & I definitely give it a five star rating!
I read The Last Mrs. Parish as well. Maybe I’ll skip the next one. Thanks for the heads up!
Behind Closed Doors was so creepy! Think how easy it would be for someone to have a hold on your life like that!!!
Thanks for your reviews. Keep ‘em coming!
I would skip that book, not a page turner as I hoped it would be!! Let me know if you have any book recs!!
