Invisible Girl
by Lisa Jewell
View in Library Catalog
book cover


At first I thought this book would have everything I was looking for. I like Lisa Jewell's writing style, and this one started out with all the ingredients for a great domestic thriller. But then nothing happened. The happy family wasn't really happy, the socially awkward 33 year old man wasn't a criminal and the missing girl wasn't missing. I didn't find any of the characters to be sympathetic or likable, and the story was slow and ultimately sort of boring.

How To Spy On A Shark

How To Spy On A Shark was a good book. It tells the story of a team of marine biologists who go out to sea to study Mako Sharks. They catch, tag and release one mako shark and then follow it with a special robot that they can track the shark on. Pretty cool!

I loved the book!! I wasn't sure if I was going to, but it was a book club choice and I found it really interesting and engaging. It made me question all the ways we love and how it important it is to be honest when approaching various relationships.
