Everyone is going to be talking about Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall. It’s is a book that encompasses so much of humanity— a family drama, coming of age, and a love story that spans decades. 

I was immediately drawn in by Clare Leslie Hall’s writing. So beautifully written and a book that made me feel all the feels. 

I went in to Broken Country blind not knowing what to expect and ended up devouring the book in a mere few hours. It is going to be sticking with me for a long time. 

I highly recommend Broken Country. It will most definitely not only be a favorite of the year, but a favorite of all time. This book reminds me why I’m a reader and learning about the complexities and empathy of others. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster for an advanced copy of this book!

I was so excited to pick up Don’t Let Him In by Lisa Jewell! I tore through it in less than 24 hrs!  If you’re a fan of Jewell’s unputdownable writing style you’re going to want to pick this up in June! 

I can’t talk much about the plot without giving too much away, but this book gave off Dear John-esque vibes told in multiple viewpoints and timelines. 

There are a lot of female characters to follow, but the book comes together nicely in the end. I

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for an advanced copy of this book!

Absolutely loved The Favorites by Layne Fargo! This will absolutely be one of my favorites of the year! I tore through this book in less than 24 hours. 

If you loved Daisy Jones and the Six you’ll love The Favorites. I’m already recommending this to everyone!

The sports themes intertwined with a love story kept me invested. 

The Favorites is one of those books that reminds me why I love reading. Thank you Layne Fargo, I can’t wait to read what you write next.
