The Switch by Beth O’Leary

I have read and reviewed the author's previous work: here This is a class above the author's previous work (which I also enjoyed). In an earlier review, I debated how many ways older women, paired with a younger person (in that case, it was a child) could teach each other about the joys of life.…

Breeda Looney Steps Forth by Oliver Sands

The story is of Breeda who has spent the last few months caring for her dying mother and then grieving for the loss. She is adrift, and this is a sort of coming of age story for Breeda because she may finally be able to shake off the weight on her heart. The setting is…

The Break Up by Tilly Tennant

In the middle of reading other genres, I usually slip in one of the more romantic ones periodically just to keep it different. I started with that thought in mind. This was not as light-hearted as the cover indicates but maintains an upbeat steady pace throughout the narrative, sometimes amping up the situation with breakneck…

How Not To Be A Loser by Beth Moran

It has very different protagonists, but there is this 'feeling' that is similar, needless to say, I enjoyed reading it.…

Fiona and the Whale by Hannah Lyn

I need to begin by saying I have a problem with the cover of this book. The silhouette of the leading lady in this (I am assuming it is her since the story focuses on predominantly her growth arc) is shown in such a barbie doll-like figure. At the same time, there are multiple mentions…

My Pear-Shaped Life by Carmel Harrington

Still available to request on NetGalley as of the writing of this post. March seems to be my month of introspection. The books I have read till date, and therefore the forthcoming reviews will indicate how much thought triggering happens due to the content and the storyline. This is a book that has you reflect…

Whitsborough Bay #2 #3 #4 by Jessica Redland

I only downloaded one book of the series to test the waters but enjoyed it so much that I ended up requesting the other two immediately. This is a review of an Advance Reviewers copy but is wholly based only on my reading experience. I am a sucker for a well-told leading lady. Sarah Peterson…
