The Perfect Mother by Caroline Mitchell



  • A book by an author I didn't know


The description of the story seemed interesting, so I decided to give a try to this author.

I was disappointed, the characters are absolutely unbelievable, the story develops slowly and I guessed the end when I was halfway.

I am not sure I will try another novel from this author.

Thank you to NetGalley, and Amazon Publishing for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

  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.

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 )

Real Life by Brandon Taylor

An author's debut book This book left me confused. I didn’t fully enjoyed it; I didn’t like or maybe I didn't fully understand Wallace, the main character. Wallace is in tipping point of his life, he feels he needs to change, he is not fully satisfied of his student life, he thought it was going to be his way out from a toxic family but he is still unhappy, he feels lonely and kind of out place with his group of fellow students/friends. After I finished the book I looked for the author and I found an interesting interview (the link is below), and, I am still writing this is not one of my favorite book, but I may understand a little more what the author wanted us to see/know with his book!
