Book Review – Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman

Audiobook Review – It Happens All the Time by Amy Hatvany
Amy Hatvany's IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME is explores the emotional state of two best friends after one commits a horrendous violation of trust on the other. I was one of the millions of Americans who was outraged at the Brock Turner case that was all over the news last year. ...
Book Review – Close Enough to Touch by Colleen Oakley
Do you think you could go more than twenty years without touching another person? Without feeling the simplest display of comfort, a consolation, a hug, a brushed kiss on the forehead? "One time, a boy kissed me and I almost died." Due to a rare genetic mutation, Jubilee ...
