What would a parent do to protect their child? Thatโs the underlying question in this fabulous new thriller from Gillian McAllister. The twists, the red herrings, the surprises! I never expected that conclusion. The story centers around a missing persons case. A young woman named Olivia walked into a dead-end alley one night and didnโt… Keep Reading

AMERICAN MERMAID by JULIA LANGBEIN
SO weird and SO wonderful! ‘American Mermaid’ is very funny, but there are deeper themes at play in this very unique book-within-a-book about making the original book into a movie. The author skewers Hollywood in the best possible way, and how clever is she to have basically written two books here? So much to unpack!… Keep Reading
SOMEONE ELSE’S SHOES by JOJO MOYES

Excuse me while I recover from a book hangover. This is a powerful yet very tender coming-of-age story set in late 1990โs academia.
