Nicole's Most Popular Reviews

I don't write a lot of reviews but I felt compelled to document just how much I loved this book. It is delightfully written, has a wonderful flow, characters you root for, and heartwarming and heart-tugging plot development. This is the book I will be coming back to read frequently, to relive the experience, to learn more about the characters, to enjoy the little details of the author's writing. Just an overall great read for anybody with a big heart and a few hours to devour it.

A “just fine” thriller

Decent story, good twist, interesting but annoying characters. I enjoyed it, but I would not call this novel particularly engrossing or captivating. The author's writing is what threw me off the most: her prose is very matter of fact and not entirely descriptive. Certain phrasing and sentence structure made me stop and read it again to understand it or simply made me stop and think it could have been written better. This was an easy read and an okay plot, so go ahead and read it, but don't think you'll fall in love with it.

This memoir was a really interesting peek into Prince Harry's life. Beautifully written, with really engaging discussion, and lots of warm details that make his uniquely complicated life worth reading about.

Couldn't put it down

A thriller that I did not want to stop reading and finished in 2 days. Really interesting characters in an engaging setting, with many twists and turns until you find the truth. Trigger warnings for postpartum mental health, parenthood, and emotionally abusive relationships, but none of these topics are discussed too intensely.
