Into the Water by Paula Hawkins

I loved the previous book "The Girl on the Train" so I decided to read this book and unfortunately I was disappointed. I think there are too many characters, the story move very slowly for the first 300 pages and then the end seems a little rushed.

  The Narrowboat Summer by Anne Youngson I was excited to receive an ARC copy of Anne Youngson second novel The Narrowboat Summer , I loved Meet me at the Museum and I was not disappointed by it. I have to say this book is quite different from Meet me at the Museum but both novels leave you with a sense of brighter future: the story ends but you know that things for the main characters’ life will change for the better. In the novel Eve and Sally decide to help Anastasia, the owner of a narrowboat called Number One; the narrowboat needs repairs, but Anastasia cannot bring it to the boatyard in Chester because she needs to stay in Uxbridge for heath reasons. The three women meet casually in front of the narrowboat and from the beginning you can clearly see as these three women are quite different. Sally seems to be the quiet one, Eve, quite pragmatic, is the strong character but she has recently been laid off, so she is in a moment of vulnerability, Anastasia is used to a fruga...

After She Wrote Him by Sulari Gentill

A book by an Australian, Canadian or European Author: After She Wrote Him by Sulari Gentill This book is a true gem. I am not going to describe the plot but the main theme is two writers writing a book where the other writer is the main character, for me this book was a little challenging to follow the story but I loved and enjoyed it a lot. The main characters,  Edward and Madeleine, were beautiful personas, and I didn't want to finish the book because I didn't want to leave them!! I think if you want to try something new and unusual this is the right book. Thanks to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the ARC in exchange of an honest review Goodreads: After She Wrote Him by Sulari Gentill Published on April 7th 2020 (the book was previously published as Crossing the Lines )

What You Wish For by Katherine Center

  I read and loved “How to walk away” and “Things you save in a fire”, I even gave as gift “How..” to my sister and so I was excited to receive a digital copy from St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley but this time the book didn’t convince me, I gave it 3.5 stars and I would divide between first half of the book (two stars) and second half of it (five stars). I was almost giving up and do not finish the book; then I read some of the reviews saying the second half was better and I gave a try and they are right. My problem with the first twelve chapters of the book is that the main character seems to be saying always the same thing Duncan was different, he changed, he was so funny, so happy now he is not. Then everything changed and I loved the end of the book, there was more action and it was more interesting. Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review! Goodreads: What You Wish For by Katheri...
