Review: The Great Alone

The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

A damaged, abusive Vietnam vet takes his wife and daughter to the remote wilderness of Alaska to live a very fraught and hopeless life.
Clearly a minority opinion, but I hated this book.
Some serious eye-roll moments, like what other unlikely events could happen to this family? Also the abuse and violence was just hard to read.
The only reason I finished was because it was our book club discussion pick.

Review: Tweet Cute

Tweet Cute by Emma Lord
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Jack & Pepper are classmates at an exclusive upper west side Manhattan private school and begin a Twitter war between their respective family’s restaurants. In a storyline reminiscent of You’ve Got Mail, Jack & Pepper’s relationship develops online and then in real life.

Some parts were cute, I guess, but I thought the narrative was all over the place.

Not a favorite rom-com.
