Words have stole my mind, in exchange for their story.

I was so excited to read this one, I was sadly let down. I felt like the plot was thrown together and the author didn‘t where she was headed with her ideas, thus her novel suffered. The romance was hyped up, but was barely there. It was the epitome of insta-love, it felt like that whole subplot was an afterthought. Natalies relationship with her mother was beautiful, the author brought realistic views to her mothers mental illnesses. Overall 2/5.

Lady of Milkweed Manor | Julie Klassen
Bailedbailed

When it comes to Julie Klassen, it‘s hit or miss. She can either write a fantastic, heartwarming (albeit, cheesy and cliché) novel, a complete disaster, or something in the middle. Lady of Milkweed Manor, was I‘m sorry to say a complete and utter disaster. The plot was a mere string of events, with no coherent message or destination. The characters personalities would change every chapter. It felt like a mess of words and ideas. Overall 1/5 stars.

Have you ever read a book (or multiple books) where the writing and plot are weak, but you need to know what happens to the characters (even if they are two-dimensional)??? That is how I would describe my reaction to Julie Klassen Books. The Secret of Pembrooke Park was no exception. I found myself rolling my eyes at the writing, but could not stop reading. The characters are cliche true, but nonetheless the sweet story prevails. 2.5/5 stars.

Educated: A Memoir | Tara Westover
Pickpick

Educated, was an inspiring, haunting story of a girl taking shape of her life and her transformation into an educated woman. Tara Westover writes about her childhood and decision to obtain an education; she had no prior education as her Father didn‘t believe in the public school system or traditional homeschool methods. It was interesting to see her growth as a person, but also to analyze her Father and his way of thinking. 4/5 stars.
