Cruel Beautiful World
by Caroline Leavitt
Cruel Beautiful World (8/13/2016)
I absolutely loved this book! Loved the era & loved the characters. They all experience loss & have their own ways of dealing with that loss, yet they are all similar in their own way. I will definitely recommend this book to others. I would love to see a 2nd book that follows Charlotte & Patrick to see where their lives take them!
The Edge of Normal
by Carla Norton
The edge of normal (7/10/2013)
While the edge of normal held my attention through out the book I did find some details to be a bit disturbing. I did, however, find the relationship between Reeve & Tilly comforting. Both dealing with horrific events in their lives, past & present, they somehow find the courage to help each other change their lives. This was my first book review, so please forgive my lack of words! I would like to add one more thing, while finishing this book late one night I got called out to my job, as I was getting in my car I found myself checking the back seats of my car as well as underneath it. I thought to myself, if the author was hoping to have written a good thriller she hit the nail on the head!
