My Reviews

The Beach House by Mary Alice Monroe
 
Insightful, Inspiring, Beautiful
Information on loggerhead turtles provides a contrast to complex family relationships, especially Olivia Rutledge and her daughter Cara.

This book provoked a lot of discussion about various relationships including mother-daughter relationships, friendships, and sibling relationships. Love and loss were well-represented among the various characters in this book. Information about loggerhead turtles only enhanced the book reading. This is a truly beautiful book recommended by every member of our book reading club.

 
Fun, Adventurous, Inspiring
Two psychiatrists take to the road and travel all over the US. Sound boring? It definitely is not. The hilarious travelogue turns into a beautiful love story.

Our group thoroughly enjoyed this hilarious travelogue written by Doreen Orion. From the moment "Project Nerd" convinced the "princess" to live on that willful bus for a year until the return from the wilds of Alaska the book was a delightful blend of comedy and romance. The group enjoyed every moment of the tour.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Heart and Soul by Maeve Binchy
 
Optimistic, Interesting, Poorly Written
Heart and Soul by Maeve Binchy

Characters jumped in and, then, out of the book without definition. The love story of the main character was undeveloped. The resolution of it just popped out of the air. Two other love stories were more convincing. I was disappointed with the book because I usually like Maeve Binchy's writing.
