[quote=Anonymous]I finished Listen For the Lie by Amy Tintera (audiobook) yesterday. It's the story of a woman who has been accused (by people, not law enforcement) of murdering her best friend but she doesn't remember what happened. I ended up speeding it up a lot at the end just to find out who did it. I'd give it maybe 1.5/5. It wasn't awful but it wasn't nearly as interesting as I was hoping, and none of the characters were very compelling, but I did finish it, so that's why it gets some stars.

Now I am listening to A Spark of Light by Jodi Picoult, which is about a shooter at an abortion clinic. Her books I find I either love or hate. This one was compared to Small Great Things, which I loved, but is not remotely as compelling. She plays with time a lot (this one counts backwards from 5 pm to 4 pm to 3 pm etc.) in many of her books, but for some reason this one doesn't work for me. This isn't a spoiler, but learning more about a character that you find out at the beginning of the book is dead isn't all that interesting. I'll probably finish it but I don't really care about any of the characters. I'll rate it when I'm done but right now it's a 2.5/5.

I finished reading (on Kindle) Beyond That, The Sea by Laura Spence-Ash on Monday. It's about a girl who moves to America from London during WWII. The book spans decades and although there were some parts I found to be a little bit slow, overall I loved the book and would give it a solid 4.5/5.

Now I am reading (on Kindle) Sorry Not Sorry by Sophie Ranald, which is a romantic comedy about a girl who is trying to shake up her dating life. It was described as laugh-out-loud funny but I haven't laughed yet... It's ok, easy enough to read and I wasn't expecting great literature or anything, but I've read similar type books that were just far better done. I'll rate it when I'm done but right now it's probably a 3/5.[/quote]
