Fine But Not What I Was Hoping For

Women Without Kids by Ruby Warrington

November 8, 2024 by ASKReviews Leave a Comment

Best for: People who would rather work through issues using a book than in therapy? In a nutshell: Childfree author Warrington explores the different ways that not having children influences the lives women lead. Worth quoting: “Is the meaning of life really only to create more life?” From responses to a survey the author conducted: “I saw how broken my mother was, and I didn’t agree with her assertion that her personal sacrifice should be seen as a gift/blessing to me. That rationale didn’t make […]

In a nutshell: Writer and actor Hart updates her story by sharing her struggles with chronic illness, and what she’s found to be helpful in not just facing those challenges but in thriving as a person.

Destiny? Maybe…

Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty

September 29, 2024 by ASKReviews Leave a Comment

Best for: Fans of her previous work. Fans of books that follow multiple peoples’ perspectives. People who enjoyed ‘The Measure.’ In a nutshell: On a delayed flight between Hobart and Sydney, Australia, a woman name Cherry walks up the aisle saying ‘I expect’ followed by an age at death and a cause of death for nearly ever person on the plane. Within a month or so, three of her ‘predictions’ turn out to be correct. So the question is – who is Cherry, what does […]

Connections and Questions

Anxious People by Fredrik Backman

September 25, 2024 by ASKReviews Leave a Comment

Best for: People who like a mystery that doesn’t involve figuring out who killed someone; people who are interested in exploring people beyond what they choose to share. In a nutshell: Someone has robbed a bank, run, and is now holding hostage a group of folks at an apartment viewing. Worth quoting: “If the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, that’s probably because it’s full of shit.” “Most people never become individuals to us. They remain people.” Why I chose it: […]

Fine? Not My Favorite of the Genre

The Dinner Guest by B P Walters

September 15, 2024 by ASKReviews Leave a Comment

Best for: Anyone interesting in a distracting read while doing chores or things round the house. In a nutshell: Michael has been murdered. Rachel has confessed. But did she really do it? Worth quoting: N/A Why I chose it: Audible had a two-for-one sale and this seemed like something I’d enjoy. Review: Charlie and Michael are a married couple, and fathers to Michael’s adopted son Titus, who is about 14 years old. They are VERY rich, and one thing they do is host a book […]
