June 2019 Reading List


Ashby is BACK amongst some other fun majority review for the month. If yous missed it, be certain to banking concern stand upwards for out her terminal review here. She's i of the biggest readers I know as well as I love getting (and sometimes giving) majority recommendations from her. I dear it fifty-fifty to a greater extent than when she but tells me the whole even out lol... she's the BEST storyteller! Aka I demand to know all most Silent Patient. Enjoy!

Hey hey, it's Ashby! 

I am dorsum amongst my review of the books that I read inwards the calendar month of June. I apologize for beingness a calendar week belatedly – I would blame it on the quaternary of July vacation but frankly, I should convey been done earlier thus anyway. [I had scheduled her for around the holiday, but because of her schedule as well as my spider web log schedule nosotros couldn't instruct this done until now! Sorry!!]

I actually convey a novel appreciation for bloggers because it doesn’t seem also hard to sit down downwards as well as write a few paragraphs on books but hither I am ix days late... 

Anyways, I read iv books during the calendar month of June as well as they actually are all over the position – a beach read, a romance as well as 2 psychological thrillers. I went ahead as well as rated the books this calendar month but inwards instance anyone is looking for an overall score.

It’s Hot inwards the Hamptons (C+) 

Guys. I’m but going to say it. This majority was trash. But non inwards the worst way, yous know? The sort of trash that is mindless, juicy as well as an tardily read. Caroline has gone from a local daughter who was born as well as raised inwards the Hamptons to i of the rich tourists who jet inwards during the summertime amongst her now-wealthy husband. 

She isn’t peculiarly happy inwards her novel life, especially dealing amongst her husband’s infidelities. Her friend Annabelle convinces her that they should hold upwards giving their husbands a sense of savor of their ain medicine as well as they vow to convey affairs of their ain this summer. Obviously, this is a questionable theme to fifty-fifty write a majority most as well as reading most it wasn’t much better. 

I was reading this on the subway as well as an older lady asked me how it was as well as I but laughed as well as said: “ugh it’s awful”. But yet I didn’t set it down. It was but that sort of book. That beingness said, however, it was really fun to read most the spots I’ve been to inwards the metropolis as well as inwards the Hamptons as well as I volition say that the women’s ultra-luxe as well as chic lifestyle was really interesting to read about. Helicoptering out to the Hamptons is the novel dream. 


One True Loves (A-) 

This is some other Taylor Jenkins Reid majority as well as per usual, I loved it! I convey actually gotten into her books lately – they are all thus written as well as yous instruct really invested inwards the characters. This i follows a plot that I must say is a tad unrealistic. 

Emma is from a minor town inwards Massachusetts, where her parents ain the local bookstore. When she meets Jessie inwards high school, they straight off autumn inwards dear as well as dream of bigger things. As before long equally they are able, they motion to LA as well as start a life traveling the basis equally a go author as well as photographer. On the 1st anniversary of their wedding, however, Jessie is lost at body of body of water inwards a helicopter crash as well as presumed dead. Devastated, Emma moves dwelling as well as finds solace inwards her town as well as the household unit of measurement bookstore. 

She ends upwards reuniting amongst her quondam friend Sam, who helps her motion on as well as eventually they instruct engaged. Suddenly (wouldn’t yous know it), Jessie is constitute on a deserted isle as well as returns home. Now Emma has a fiancé as well as a hubby as well as must figure out which homo she belongs amongst (classic dilemma). In general, this majority was really genuine as well as heartwarming as well as upwards until the really end, I wasn’t fifty-fifty certain which guy I wanted her to choose. 

It explores the possibility that nosotros don’t ever convey “one truthful love” inwards life as well as that yous tin cash inwards one's chips a different someone equally yous grow older. I volition say that this plot was giving me serious Pearl Harbor as well as Sweet Home Alabama vibes where the chief graphic symbol has to pick out betwixt 2 different but perfect men. Highly unlikely but nosotros should all hold upwards thus lucky. 


All is Not Forgotten (B+) 

I was originally hesitant to read this but Krista had read it a piffling patch dorsum as well as insisted that I give it a go. In a small, wealthy town inwards Connecticut, Jenny Kramer leaves a high schoolhouse political party as well as is violently assaulted. She is given a controversial drug that removes the retentivity of the event, which supposedly aids inwards the healing of the event. 

What they didn’t consider, however, is that if she can’t shout upwards the incident, she can’t assist position the perpetrator. Her manful someone parent becomes obsessed amongst figuring it out as well as sends her to a therapist who helps her recover her lost memories. There are several concurrent plots focusing on her dysfunctional mother’s childhood as well as other patients that the therapist treats thus I spent a lot of the fourth dimension trying to figure out what happened instead of but enjoying the book. 

Despite my best efforts, I was non able to approximate the twist which was revealed at the end. I was impressed amongst how everything was tied together as well as the dependent champaign thing was really thought-provoking. If yous could erase traumatic events from people’s memories, would nosotros exercise it no thing what? 

At commencement glance, the respond is absolutely but when yous dive deeper into the human psyche most how nosotros store memories as well as procedure events afterward the fact, things instruct a piffling to a greater extent than complicated. This majority definitely makes yous mean value thus if yous are inwards a majority gild that does to a greater extent than than but potable wine, this majority could Pb to a expert discussion. 


The Silent Patient (B) 

I convey been hearing most this majority for a patch thank yous to diverse other blogger reviews as well as I but can’t resist a majority amongst such a glaring mystery. There is a patient that doesn’t beak as well as a therapist trying to figure out why. SIGN ME UP! 

So essentially, a famous creative someone is constitute inwards her dwelling amongst her hubby tied upwards as well as shot several times. She is seemingly caught red-handed as well as when investigators test to empathize what happened as well as why she refuses to speak. This goes on for several years, through the case as well as her commitment to a mental facility. H5N1 psychotherapist who has been next her even out transfers to her establishment as well as begins to process her inwards the hopes of agreement why she doesn’t beak as well as what happened the nighttime of the murder. 

I was definitely anticipating a few plot twists as well as the larger i I volition say I guessed a page or 2 earlier it was revealed (I patted myself on the dorsum - no large deal). But in that place were a few to a greater extent than details that I wasn’t anticipating thus I tip my chapeau to the author for those! This was a quick, relatively straightforward thriller that I definitely recommend!


What did yous read this calendar month that I demand to alternative up?
