i haven't done a post about books in a while, but don't worry, i've been reading. i've been reading so much, it's scary. ok, maybe it's amazing. :)
but instead of taking all three of these books separately, i thought, since they are penned by the same amazing author...ms. liane moriarty, you should just go pick up all three. if you're not a fan of summer reading and you can only do one or two, i'll give you my little reviews for selection's sake.
my favorite was BIG LITTLE LIES.
my second favorite was WHAT ALICE FORGOT.
and you can guess what the 3rd place was.
BIG LITTLE LIES is hilarious and real. it is centered around a few kindergarten parents' lives in australia. it has it all. laughs, stone cold truths, and silliness. i'd pick this one up first.
WHAT ALICE FORGOT is very interesting...a good lesson in taking inventory of our lives. alice falls off some gym equipment and loses ten years of her memory. she's relearning how different things got from 29 (which i am) to 39. she's trying to recall things, feelings, circumstances. she's trying to put the pieces back together. she's trying to remember her kids, for goodness sake. and you're learning along with her. it's a great read. just do it.
THE HUSBAND'S SECRET was my least favorite among these, but only because i read the others...someone has to come in last! however, it was very well told. and like BIG LITTLE LIES, there are multiple characters' point of view, and you discover, little by little, what the secret is and how far one secret can reach. how it can change all the lives around you.
so here's your reading list for june. OH and of course, FALLING STARS should be on there. shameless promotion? yep.
