Intermezzo Review

Rooney's novels are like life—messy, emotional, and full of subtle twists. Realistic characters, simple writing, and deep emotions make her books unforgettable. Not for fans of fast-paced plots, but perfect for heartfelt reads.

Flynn’s novels are a rollercoaster—twists, dark atmosphere, and psychological depth. Her characters mess with your head. Great reads, but can be heavy!

Crossroads Review

Franzen spins a tale of family and society, rich in detail but slow in pace. His themes are thought-provoking, exploring modern life and technology's impact on relationships. Worth reading if you enjoy deep, contemplative narratives.

Lowry's 'The Giver' packs a punch with its unique world. I laughed, cried, and questioned everything. But hey, isn't that the mark of a great book? Worth every penny, even if you spill coffee on it.

Colleen Hoover’s ‘It Ends With Us’ made me laugh, cry, and question my own dating history. The characters are real, the drama is heavy, but it sticks with you—like that one weird dream you can’t shake.

It Ends With Us Review

Hoover’s book had me feeling like I’d wrestled a bear—emotional, a bit sore, and honestly surprised I cared this much. Lily isn’t perfect, but neither is real life. I laughed, I cried, I spilled coffee on my cat.

Framed Review

Sure! Here's an excerpt: "John Grisham's skill shines in his true crime exploration. A bit slow at times, but his portrayal of justice system flaws and perseverance makes it a gripping, worthwhile read. Not all heroes wear capes; some wield the law."
