Jules, a young woman in New York city is down and out on her luck. She has lost her mediocre job in addition to a subpar boyfriend literally in the span of […]

Tom Lake | Ann Patchett

If I have to describe this book in one sentence, then I would describe it as a novel about a significant summer romance narrated across another fateful summer. But what I found most interesting was what happened between these two summers, 1988 and 2020, that I think is the most unmissable part of this novel. […]

The Women | Kristin Hannah

A lot happens in the first few chapters of this book, and then hardly anything happens in the rest of it. Even though the book blurb and summaries give a clear idea of what this novel is all about, it still fails to give a clear picture of the central theme. As a result, there […]

Mysterious celebrity ✅ Lead characters working in the publishing industry ✅ Enemy-to-frenemy-to-romance ✅ Set in a relatively unknown and picturesque part of the country ✅ Well fleshed out characters especially women characters with gumption ✅ These are all the hallmarks of the books written by Emily Henry which I have noticed in couple of her […]

Beach Read | Emily Henry

I know….. this is my second Emily Henry book review in as many months, simply because I am taken by her successive novels having complex characters navigating their complicated love lives while navigating the intricacies of modern life. It’s so relatable, it’s so us. There are books within this book written by its two protagonists- […]
