Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 
Review: 

There are some stories that carry us further than we had originally planned. This is one of those stories. Just a warning this book will bring out the laughs, awe moments, strength, love, anger and definitely the tears.
The story follows two sisters during WW2 Isabelle and Vianne. Vianne is the older sister who is married and who has a daughter. They both follow different paths within the war, Vianne does what she can to survive to protect her daughter because her husband is off in the war as a war prisoner. She overcomes a lot of obstacles, she puts up with a lot and she keeps her head down for a good part of the novel. Isabelle is bravier and she has a lot less to lose. She delivers papers, notes and even goes on to complete missions to help the british soldiers that have fallen from the sky.
Then the novel jumps between the past and 1995 where an elderly lady is selling her home and moving into a living facility because she has cancer and she is moving to be closer to her son Julian and her granddaughters. Then she is invited to a reunion party like thing in France, and she can't get her mind off of that.
Many people recommended this book to me, I kept hearing about it, and I never thought that it would live up to the hype. But, this book surpassed my expectations and thoughts. I absolutely loved it! Just a warning though, if you pursue this book you will catch feelings while reading and more than likely there will be tears shed! I can't recommend this book enough!

So now they are pretending to be in a relationship and they are going to Jordan's fathers funeral.

This is a cute quick read and I loved it and binged it in one night!

Title: The Golden Couple  Author: Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen  Expected Publication: March 8, 2022 Publisher: St. Martin's Press  Genre: Mystery/ Thriller  Pages: 336 pages  Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review:  OMG This is one that I was really enthusiastic to read because I have loved EVERYTHING that these two authors have written and just a little secret (they didn't let me down! I was glued to my kindle the last 40% of the book!) Marissa Bishop sought out Avery Chambers to help her with her marriage. Marissa had a fling and she wanted to tell her husband in a controlled environment, where she and he could work out their differences and heal their marriage. Avery is just the unorthodox therapist to do this, see she only takes clients that she can help in 10 visits because she has a system that works. So while they work through her program they can be in a different place than when they first came to see her. So, while it seems that the Bishops are getting through their

My Review of The Shadow Man by Helen Fields

Title: The Shadow Man  Author: Helen Fields  Expected Publishing Date: Feb. 4, 2021 Published by: Avon Books UK  Genre: Mystery/ Thriller  Pages 400 pages  Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5  Review:  This is a different kind of thriller/horror book. An American profiler and psychologist is called in to help aid when a high profile abduction of Elspeth occurs after a murder of a similiar woman. Along with Detective Baarda she and he follow the abductions of a 12 year old child and of a parapalegic man. Trying to figure out the end game is all they can try to do and the twist and the turns of the case is absolutely horrifying. Fergus abducts them all to try to create the family he never had, not long after his introduction the reader can realize that he is not only physically but also mentally sick. He is so sick and twisted it's not even funny. This book follows the investigation and also gives an insight into Fergus's mind, and what an adventure that was. I definitely recommend this b
