The Sympathizer: A Novel (Pulitzer Prize for Fiction) (The Sympathizer, 1) Cover
Rating: 4/5

The Sympathizer Review

The Sympathizer grabbed me from page one—spy games, dark laughs, and inner struggles. Viet Thanh Nguyen nails the weird mix of homesickness and espionage. Sometimes it gets wordy, but dang, what a wild, clever read.

Beautiful Disaster: A Novel (Beautiful Disaster Series) Cover
Rating: 3.5/5

Beautiful Disaster Review

Travis and Abby’s love story is like watching a soap opera unfold at a frat party—messy, loud, but hard to look away from. If you crave drama and chaos, this book brings all the fireworks.

Red, White & Royal Blue: A Novel Cover
Rating: 4.6/5

Red, White & Royal Blue Review

Red, White & Royal Blue is a wild, witty romance that made me snort-laugh over coffee. The royal drama is spicy, the texting is top-tier, and the love story? Sweet with just the right amount of cheese.

The Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant: The Complete Annotated Edition Cover
Rating: 4.3/5

Grant Review

Grant wrestled with life about as much as he wrestled at Shiloh—sometimes winning, sometimes slipping in the mud. The book shows his grit and flaws, making him more than just a bearded face on the fifty-dollar bill.
