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.

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.

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...

The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy

A book not written in traditional novel format  I liked it. The author in his introduction write this story is for everyone, for 8 years old or for 81 years old, and he is right. It is story about friendship, be kind to us and to the others. The illustrations are beautiful. One thing I read it on my kindle, and I think it would be better to read it as paper book so to better enjoy the illustrations and the cursive format would be easier to read it.
