Three Women by Lisa Taddeo is a non-fiction book about the stories of three women from America and their sex lives.

Holy cow! This book was so intense. I got emotional and had to take a few breaks to get through it. Taddeo’s writing was phenomenal and kept me on the edge of my seat.

Cross Her Heart is a psychological thriller written by Sarah Pinborough. The novel is about the lies and secrets of three women: a mom, daughter, and friend.

I really wanted to like this book. I was so excited when it showed up on my doorstep. I never really finished the book, as I could not get into it. The characters and writing style were not for me. My rating for this book is one out of five stars.

I am very grateful to the publisher for sending me a copy. Cross Her Heart was released on September 4, 2018.

Flat-Out Love by Jessica Park is a book about a girl and her experiences as a first year college student. While this book packs a punch and made me sob, it was still a well-rounded novel and I absolutely loved everything about it. I loved the story line, characters, and writing style. I flew through this book. I did not want to put it down and it kept me on the edge of my seat. I look forward to reading more of Park’s works. I rate this book five out of five stars.

I received an arc copy of this book from the publisher. This is Not a Love Scene was written by S.C. Megale and is a debut novel. I cannot even begin to tell you what this book is about as I was not interested in it, so therefore I could not comprehend it. I had a difficult time connecting with the characters and the writing style. After I got about halfway through the story, I dnf’d the book. I am very grateful to Wednesday Books for sending me an arc copy to review, however this book just was not the story for me. Hopefully there are other people that would like it. My rating for this book is one out of five stars.

Dumplin’ was written by Julie Murphy. The book is about a plus size girl who enters a beauty pageant. I thought that this would be one of the books that would hold my attention and would really like. However, that is not the case at all. I could not really jive with it. The story did not hold my attention well and I did not like the writing style. I am hoping that I like the movie better. My rating for this book is two out of five stars.

I received an arc copy of The Girl He Used To Know by Tracey Garvis Graves from Fresh Fiction.

This book is about an autistic young woman and how she navigates through college and life. I absolutely adored this book. I loved everything the book had to offer. The writing style, main characters, and storyline just flowed nicely together. I thought the character development was strong and loved seeing how the main character grows and develops throughout the novel. There was not a thing about this book that I did not love. My rating is five stars.

I received an arc copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.

I have such mixed feelings about this book. It started out strong and was really into it, but then I found myself skimming the second half of the book. I burnt out on the book pretty quickly. I did like the characters and the story was ok, but I did not love it. It has potential. I am still interested in trying out other books by this author. My rating for this book is two out of five stars.

Pancakes in Paris is a memoir by Craig Carlson. The story is about his path to opening up a restaurant in Paris. I love anything Paris and pancakes are great, so overall I enjoyed this book. I really like that there are recipes in the back of the memoir. I cannot wait to try them out. My rating for this book is three stars.
