In reply to susan. I don't know, except the hype I've seen is book mail, not reviews. Susie is about to DNF it.

In reply to Adrienne. It was a lot to take in. I didn’t love it the way I did This is How It Always Is, but I still thought it was well done.

In reply to Susie | Novel Visits. I could say the same to your summer guide. It’s good (and bad!) that we don’t have much overlap! Means my TBR is out of control.

In reply to Laila. She does a good job with slow tension—nice for summer days.

In reply to susan. I wanted to love Other Black Girl, but I really didn’t like it. The plot veers into absurd. I was really disappointed.

I am reading Malibu Rising at the moment and really enjoying it. Hard to put it down.

One Two Three was a DNF for me. I suspect that I just wasn’t in the mood to read this sort of book. Well written but the characters didn’t resonate with me.

Wow! Quite a few here that weren’t even on my radar. June has so many books to offer.

I’ve been meaning to try Lippman for a while now. I’ve got lots to choose from!

hey. Loved the Henna Artist … so I’m hoping for positive things from the Secret Keeper of Jaipur … Malik was a good character in Book 1. You’ll probably get to it before me. I also have Malibu Rising on my summer list. I haven’t looked over June releases yet …. but I have The Other Black Girl on my summer list and it is a June 1 release. Since it’s set at a publishing house and is from a writer who “spent nearly three years in editorial at Knopf/Doubleday” … makes it a bit intriguing premise to me. I’m going to check it out.
Also I just started your podcast with Sarah … and as usual it’s a fun listen … thx
