Forever by Pete Hamill


I read this with my book club and really looked forward to this "reread." In the end, however, I was disappointed. Why didn;t I like the book as much the second time around? Hard to say. Because I knew what was going to happen? I doubt it because I forgot so much. It was so long.  Parts of the history of NYC were glossed over and I wanted to learn more about Boss Tweed and that part of our history.

The Push by Ashley Audrain


From GoodReads:

A tense, page-turning psychological drama about the making and breaking of a family–and a woman whose experience of motherhood is nothing at all what she hoped for–and everything she feared.

This was a disturbing book but I enjoyed it. Fast read, for sure.  I predicted the ending however. And I don't often do that.  So, maybe it was too apparent.
