Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff

Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff

Posted August 10, 2017 by Whitney in Review / 2 Comments

I cannot believe Fates and Furie was Obama’s best book of 2015. Yes, this is a story of marriage but not a realistic one.

A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks

Posted August 7, 2017 by Whitney in Review / 0 Comments

I never thought I’d say it, but I preferred Mandy Moore to Nicholas Sparks. A Walk to Remember was my first foray into Nicholas Sparks and I have to say, I was not impressed. I knew the premise before I began, I knew I was in for a tear-jerker. However, I did not expect the […]
