NEED
by Joelle Charbonneau

book cover


NEED is an amazing sci-fi thriller that grabs onto you from the first page and doesn't let go. Essentially, NEED is a startup website that gives you anything you 'need' in exchange for a small price. But the price of your NEED is increasing drastically, and the book reveals an intricate web of betrayals and blood that NEED leaves behind in their small town. NEED approaches the idea of what we think qualifies as a need, the way we think, and just how far we'll go to get what we want.

I really enjoyed this book. I found the characters to be very well developed and as I continued to read it I felt as if I actually knew them all. I typically enjoy mystery and thriller books, but I found myself not wanting to put this book down and highly recommend it.
People We Meet On Vacation
by Emily Henry

book cover


This was cute. I wanted a palate cleanser because the mystery binge I've been on has led to a reading block, and this really fit the bill. It was just a really wholesome story about two best friends getting together. Their relationship isn't perfect because they're not perfect, and I'm honestly not sure they're great for each other long term, but they're sweet together. The ending was a little bit of a let down - a lot of big speeches and dramatic moments all crushed into one small section of the book, and I wasn't sure I really wanted them to get together by the time all was said and done. But overall the vacations and trips they take together are super adorable.
On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous
by Ocean Vuong

I listened to this book, read by the author. It is a letter to his mother telling her how he viewed his childhood with her. She is Vietnamese and brought him up in America alongside her own mother. His American father was aware but not involved in his upbringing. His mother is quite abusive to him and he also has a relationship with a boy called Trevor so it is quite a difficult book to listen to, but beautifully written.
The Duke And I

Love ignores rules! The build up for this romance was really well done. The characters had great chemistry when they were falling in love but the ending seemed to fall apart - rushed and jumbled a bit. The set-up to the end could have been expanded
The Phone Booth At The Edge Of The World
by Laura Imai Messina

book cover


This book is beautifully written. Inspired by a real life phone booth in Japan. It is a story of love and hope after devastating loss and grief. A window into Japanese culture and the terrible loss of the 2011 tsunami. I was living in Texas at the time of the tsunami and on the night of a terrible tornado and hail storm in our town I thought of the people who had endured the tsunami in Japan. I was surprised at the calming effect and hope this story left me with.
Without A Trace

I love this book. The story was interesting, about a women named Bree who spent her days searching for the wreckage that claimed the lives of her husband and son. Her occupation is K9 search and rescue with her dog Sampson. The book is an easy read and uplifting. Colleen Coble is a Christian author, which I didn't know til I was halfway through the first book.
First Comes Love Emily Giffin

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.
