First Comes Loves by Emily Giffin

7/7/2016

I hate to admit it, but this is my first Emily Giffin novel.  I'm sorry to all of her adoring fans, I just have never been a "chick lit," "chick flick" type of girl.  I have watched the movie adaptation of Something Borrowed with Kate Hudson and Ginnifer Goodwin.  I enjoyed it, but it's not one of my top 50 movies I've ever watched.  For that reason, I just haven't tried any of Giffin's #1 New York Time's best selling novels.  Please accept my ardent apology for never giving her the time of day before; I have learned my lesson.  First Comes Love was a lovely little novel that I just adored.  It was light, funny, and had just the right amount of cutesy love that I can handle.

All the Missing Girls by Megan Miranda

I finished All the Missing Girls nearly two days ago, and I've listened to TWO reviews for it...but I still can't decide how I feel about it.  It's been compared to The Girl on the Train and Luckiest Girl Alive (which I have yet to read), and for good reasons.  The book is a tense read, just how I like my thrillers.  It's got the trifecta of a perfect mystery: more than one missing person, a woman with a past she wants to forget, and a town that doesn't want to forget.  It almost reached "page-turner" status for me, but not quite.

The Cresswell Plot by Eliza Wass

This is one of those books that you just can't put down because it's such a foreign way of life, such a different way of seeing the world, that you find it fascinating. The Cresswells are  a fanatic religious family, and we meet them at point where the children are old enough to start questioning their father's motives while leading his family.
