Rapid Fire Book Reviews
Nancy Thayer has been one of my original go-to beach read authors, so diving into “Summer Light on Nantucket” was really fun. Set on the beautiful island of Nantucket, the book really captures that perfect summer vibe with all its warmth and charm. The story revolves around a group of characters dealing with their own Read more The post Summer Light on Nantucket appeared first on stephshares.com .
When I discovered that the character Sami appears in Harlan Coben’s previous novel, Fool Me Once, I felt compelled to revisit my original review. To my surprise, Sami was not a character I particularly liked, and Fool Me Once did not rank among my favorite reads by Coben. With that in mind, I approached Nobody’s Read more The post Nobody’s Fool appeared first on stephshares.com .
What can I say about Fredrick Backman that I haven’t said in other reviews? He is one, if not the only author who makes me hesitate when it comes to deciding whether or not to DNF a book. I’ve never read an author who can wrap up books as beautifully as Backman. There’s a poetic Read more The post My Friends – Fredrik Backman appeared first on stephshares.com .

I love a well-written character, and Lila will stay with me for a while. She just checked so many boxes – complicated, firm, lovable, but unlovable, self-aware, strong, yet lacking in some very important ways. I can’t say enough good things about how well-written Lila was as a complicated, three-dimensional character. Like Mother, Like Mother Read more The post Like Mother, Like Mother appeared…
Having been re-introduced to Nicholas Sparks with The Wish, a book that was easily in my top ten two years ago. I was excited to jump into Counting Miracles, ready to feel all the feels.

I love Lee Child…Jack Reacher got me back into reading in a big way, so when I saw that Lee Child had compiled his short stories into one book, I was very excited! Overall these stories are entertaining and range from super short to short. I guess I am used to reading Stephen King’s short Read more The post Safe Enough appeared first on stephshares.com .
This is my first book by Audrey Ingram but won’t be my last. I’m usually not a big fan of timeline jumping, but in this case, both timelines held their own, and switching between them didn’t drag the story down. The Group Trip follows a group of friends from college into adult life and adult Read more The post The Group Trip appeared first on stephshares.com .
So, this looks like it was Blake Crouch’s first book and it shows. I didn’t hate it but it’s clear he has definitely evolved as a writer. I love apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic books, so this book has my name all over it. And being a thriller, it hooked me right away. Overall, this was Read more The post Run appeared first on stephshares.com .
