The Flower Sisters
by Michelle Collins Anderson
Just Okay (3/2/2024)
I liked this book however I found it to be a little slow. Usually I can read for hours but with this one I could easily put it down after a chapter or two. With that being said though I do think the plot was intriguing and I liked how it was told in many different characters recollections of the explosion. What I didn't like was how the end of the book basically tied it all up in a pretty bow. It almost seemed like the ending was written by someone else……someone who writes hallmark feel good stories.
The Divorcees
by Rowan Beaird
Great Read! (11/11/2023)
Thanks to Book Browse for sending me this book! I really enjoyed it! Having never heard of the divorce ranches of the 1950's, it was an interesting read! I also liked how the book centered on women's friendships, and the ability to forge their own way when needed. I think this would be a great book for book clubs. A lot of good conversations could stem from it. I will definitely be suggesting it to my book club!
