With the title "The People We Hate at Weddings" you are not going to read this book to root for the underdog or see yourself (hopefully) in the characters. Rather, you will read it for the same reason you watch The Real Housewives or a public break up. It's horrible to …more watch, horrible to enjoy but you keep coming back because it is so good. For every time I put the book down because it got too uncomfortable or I couldn't take any more of how insufferable the characters were, I had to pick it up to see how it all ended. I hope I don't scare you off of reading the book, because it does offer a wonderful insight into the people we meet in public and wonder how the hell they ended up that way. It may make an attempt at humanizing the more annoying of the characters that show up in life, but it doesn't excuse their actions or behavior. A good read if you find yourself watching House Hunters to judge how unrealistic the couples budget is or place bets on if they stay together or not. (less)

I See You is stunning thriller that will please fans of the genre while making a generation completely paranoid about life in a big city. London dwellers Zoe and Kelly are on opposite ends of a mystery that twists and turns until the last page. The plot is brisk, and the …more characters are warm enough to keep you emotionally invested. And while you may think you have it all figured out, Clare Mackintosh will keep you guessing. I don't want to spoil but I will say this, you will never ride the subway easy again. (less)
