★★★★★ An exploration of relationships and friendships in Henry's most mature offering yet, centered on a week-long vacation in Maine.

★★★★☆ Hart's tale of women finding their power through witchcraft is diluted by her one-dimensional portrayal of universally horrible men.

★★★☆☆ A rushed sophomore slump of a novel that fails to live up to Boulley's first book, Firekeeper's Daughter, in almost every way.

★★★★☆ Societal commentary abounds in this story of a white author stealing the final manuscript of an Asian American author after her death.

★★★★☆ The 2nd book in the Danny Ryan Trilogy fails to live up to the 1st, but it's a quick read if you want more time with the Dogtown crew.

★★★★★ A well-executed (pun intended) novel about 4 female assassins in their 60s who must unretire when they are targeted by their agency.

★★★☆☆ Audrain once again examines the trials of parenting, but this time fails to balance character flaws with anything remotely redeemable.

★★★★★ A mother sees her son commit a murder, and must find out why while stuck in a backwards time loop. Sounds weird, but it works well!
