Book #14 in 2015

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.

Crash & Burn by Lisa Gardner.

Book #9 in 2015 (Audio)

The One & Only by Emily Giffin.  Read by Sofia Willingham.

15 hours.

Shea Rigsby, football lover from Walker, Texas, finds true love after several misses.  A happy ending for all.

Ok, it was a little sappy, but I really loved it and was sorry when it ended.

5 stars

Book #8 in 2015

A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler.

Classic Anne Tyler:  nothing happens and yet I couldn't stop reading.  This novel is the story of the Whitshank family.  I think the mail point is a rather Dr. House-esque "everyone lies".

5 stars.
