Back again with my monthly recap of what I’ve read each month! If you’re looking for a good book, look no further – I’ve compiled the good, the bad, and the ugly of what I read in May. Let the record show that this may be the very first New Year’s resolution I’ve kept past January (in terms of my other resolution of cutting out alcohol and losing 10 pounds….no comment.).
The Good
- The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren: if you have a summer vacation coming up, this is the perfect one for you. Witty and downright hilarious, with just the right amount of heart, The Unhoneymooners is a perfect feel-good romantic comedy. Prepare to laugh and smile from cover to cover.
- The Good Sister by Sally Hepworth: Hepworth proficiently spins a web that slyly keeps pulling in readers until they realize they’re caught up in it and can’t escape…When a woman helps her twin sister have a baby, she unintentionally causes buried family secrets to resurface in this unsettling yet heartwarming psychological drama.
- The Rose Code by Kate Quinn: The New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Huntress and The Alice Network returns with another heart-stopping World War II story of three female code breakers at Bletchley Park and the spy they must root out after the war is over.
- We Are All the Same in the Dark by Julia Heaberlin: If you only read one thriller this year, let it be this one. Psychologically absorbing, original and atmospheric. I could not turn the pages fast enough.
The Bad
- Who is Maud Dixon by Alexandra Andrews: I had high hopes for this one, but it was a disappointment. Interesting concept but didn’t stick the landing and by the end, all of the twists were too unbelievable and implausible. Hard pass.
