Title: One of Us is Lying ONE OF US IS LYING kept me interested while reading it. I really wanted to figure out what was going on and I liked the characters and the relationships, especially Bronwyn and Nate’s. However, I didn’t like the turn the story took in terms of the mystery because I felt like it glorified suicide and mass shootings.
Title: Fundamentally Female Some of the stories were heartwarming, but for the most part, FUNDAMENTALLY FEMALE was preachy and thought too highly of itself. Thankfully, it was a quick read.
Title: The Unhoneymooners I really enjoyed reading THE UNHONEYMOONERS. In fact, once I started reading, I couldn’t stop. I loved the tension between the Olivia and Ethan. I loved watching them go from mutual dislike of each other to loving each other. It was a fun, often comedic, romantic ride.
Update: When I read THE UNHONEYMOONERS a second time, I listened to the audiobook. I really loved the narration by Cynthia Farrell, but I really disliked the narration by Deacon Lee. Thankfully, he only read the epilogue.
Title: The Hollow City I liked the first two thirds of THE HOLLOW CITY a lot. I couldn’t put the book down. It was such an interesting premise and, just like Michael, I wasn’t sure what was real and what wasn’t. But I’m not sure I liked where the book went in the last third. It got a little too sci-fi-y for my taste. I like sci-fi normally but this seemed like it came out of nowhere.
Title: Big Little Lies I really enjoyed reading BIG LITTLE LIES. It was very addicting and I had a hard time putting it down. I loved how Moriarty told the story. It actually reminded me of Memento a little bit. I wanted to keep reading so I could figure out what was going on. It was a very hard emotional read and it was a thought-provoking story that deals with hard subjects like abuse, sexual assault, and bullying. At times, it was difficult to keep reading. I really felt for all the characters, especially little Ziggy. I loved that there’s a hopeful feel to the story by the end.
Update: I’m really excited that Moriarty wrote a sequel called BIG LITTLE TRUTHS. I can’t wait to read it. I’ll definitely reread this one first, though.
