Book 16 in 2015 (Audio)
We Are Water by Wally Lamb. Read by an ensemble cast.
19 CDs. Sadly, I returned it to the library before writing this, so I don't know how many hours it was, but it was quite long.
Wonderful story about the Oh family and how they overcome the various tragedies in their lives.
5 stars.

Book #15 in 2015
Normal by Graeme Cameron.
Told from the point of view of a witty, occasionally charming serial killer. Set in England.
It probably lost half a star for me because I don't prefer foreign settings. I found the ending fairly unbelievable, so another star gone.
3 stars.

The Day We Met by Rowan Coleman.
Middle-aged mom develops early onset Alzheimers. I enjoyed the writing style, but I think the topic hit too close to home for me. I had some trouble making myself finish it.
4 stars.

Book #12 in 2015
Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin.
Dr. Nick Russo starts and affair with the mother of one of his pediatric patients. Story is told from the POV of his wife, Tessa, and the other woman, Valerie.
The characters were well developed, but I didn't like any of them. I was really disappointed because I normally enjoy the author's novels.
3 stars.
