I was recommending even before Reese!

A grandma and her daughter and granddaughter become a trio of mystery solvers after overcoming their own dysfunctional relationships. Hopefully the start of a new cozy series!

Thank you to NetGalley & William Morrow for an advance digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

Loads of themes like resilience, family loyalty and trust, consequences of actions. Four alternating POVs with each full back story as well and unique plot perspective.
I zipped through first half then it felt a bit Hallmark movie, which isn't my cup of tea.

Overall, a good, fast summer read.

Thank you to Celadon Books and NetGalley for advancing a Kindle copy in exchange for an honest review.

3. Right now I'm thinking The Western Star by Johnson. The Longmire series is my happy place.

On paper this book should have been right in my wheelhouse but I struggled from nearly the beginning. Nothing worked for me. It didn't feel real or authentic.
It would be highly unlikely that 5 teens would talk so conversationally to the police. The author needed to get the background and story out but this all felt forced.

I want to thank NetGalley for the opportunity to read the Kindle ARC edition in exchange for an honest opinion

Our Best Intentions | Vibhuti Jain

I loved this book by debut author Jain. It was topical, timely and felt so real - race and class relations, 1st and 2nd generation immigrant experiences, friendship, divorce, mental illness, moral quandary.

Multiple POVs were complex and well developed. The compelling plot line was revealed all throughout the book which allowed the reader time to think and come to his/her own conclusions.

Thank you to William Morrow & NetGalley for the eArc.

The Locked Room | Elly Griffiths
Mehso-so

The Locked Room was the 14th installment in this series but it was the first for me. I was not a huge fan and in seeing the other reviews, clearly in the minority.

It was just an ok read for me. It takes place at the start of the pandemic and I felt like Covid overshadowed the mystery plot(s).

Thank you to William Morrow and NetGalley for an advance eKindle addition in exchange for an honest review.

Three Things I know are true about this book:

2) It is heart breaking
3) It is hopeful

Nicely done YA in verse dealing with an accidental shooting.
