All Rhodes Lead Here: A Novel Cover
Rating: 3.8/5

All Rhodes Lead Here Review

Mariana Zapata's book is a slow-burn masterpiece. Rhodes and Aurora's chemistry is gripping, although sometimes stretched. The small-town vibe is spot-on, and those quirky side characters? They steal the show!

No Tomorrow (New York Review Books Classics) (English and French Edition) Cover
Rating: 4.1/5

No Tomorrow Review

Engaging plot with relatable characters and snappy dialogue. Main characters are well-developed, but minor ones lack depth. Sometimes feels convenient, but overall, a must-read emotional rollercoaster!

Crossroads (Key to All Mythologies, 1) Cover
Rating: 4/5

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.

Station Eleven Cover

Station Eleven Review
