(linking up with Steph and Jana)

 

The Cheerleaders – Kara Thomas // This was such a good, easy read.  Once I started it, I couldn’t put it down trying to figure out what happened and why – and I honestly didn’t see it coming.  Plus the twist at the end – HOLY COW.

It’s Always the Husband – Michele Campbell // Whoa, this book.  I had recently heard about Michele Campbell through the last SUYB, so I thought I’d give it a read.  I have to say, that this book will make you question what you think is going on so many times.  I ended up being wrong about everything, but that’s what made me love the book even more.  Will definitely read more of her.

The Light We Lost – Jill Santopolo  // This book tugged on absolutely every heart string in my body.  A really beautiful story about an all-encompassing love that a woman just can’t shake.  This book was so easy to read, and beautiful – I actually felt everything that the main character was feeling.  So good.

Daisy Jones & The Six – Taylor Jenkins Reid // I have heard good things about this book for forever, so I was so happy when my library bought it, and I was the first one on the wait list.  I loved the format of this book, and just like Nadine said, it reads like a Behind The Music on VH1.  It was so interesting to read a book made up of interviews with bandmates, and to get both sides of the story.  If you haven’t picked this one up – definitely do it.  TJR does it again.

    I’ve read – and loved – Kara Thomas’ first two books, so I NEED to get my hands on The Cheerleaders. I also really want to read Daisy Jones.

    Daisy Jones does feel like a behind the music thing. So cool

    I’m planning to read Daisy this month. So looking forward to it but I worry that I’ve over-hyped it in my head. No book should have to live up to unreasonable expectations! 😀 It’s Always the Husband sounds very intriguing. I love being right about whodunit or what’s going on, but I also love being absolutely wrong and 100% surprised by an ending (unless it’s stupid, then I throw things).

    I reluctantly have the Cheerleaders on my TBR because well, my daughter is one and I always get worried and also very annoyed at how they’re portrayed. But we have similar taste so I trust your review.

    And Daisy was just a spectacular book.

    I thought daisy was just ok. Everyone had read it so I had high expectations and honestly it wasnt as high as it was made out to be. Your other books are all on my to read list!
