Not exactly a good read for me. As I read, I began to wonder exactly where this novel was headed as it seemed everything was dragging, the novel was in slow-motion. By the time some important reveal was finally brought up, I didn’t really seem to feel its significance was that important any more. Th...
There's no way for me to explain the rating without spoiling the book. I normally wouldn't bother, but I waited a week and I'm still angry at this author, so I'm going to hide my spoiler and spew some venom. This book starts nicely.

This is a good debut novel and I enjoyed it, but I just didn't love it. I listened to the audiobook and I think the narrator did a good job. I didn't particularly like the main character, mainly because I thought she was pathetic. The story is about Kittie/Katherine who lives in parallel worlds. In ...
The Bookseller by Cynthia Swanson ultimately is about a woman looking for her best life. Is Kitty dreaming up Kathryn, or is Kitty a figment of Kathryn's imagination? The book keeps you guessing. The key thing I take away from this book are the ideas that no life is perfect and that the direction of...
