Book Review: After you by Jojo Moyes

After You is the sequel to Me Before You. I love both of these books.

Where it is helpful to read the first book to build a relationship between the reader and the characters, it may not be absolutely necessary. Saying this, however, I am so happy that I read After You first.

This book is so well written with a few surprises, but it was great. Louisa, along with her family and the Traynos are back. Here is just a taste of what was discovered in the first to give a good preview of this book. Will is a quadriplegic who has gone through many carers until Louisa shows up. At one time, Will was adventurous. After the accident he became suicidal. Louisa is funny and so unique and she falls for Will. Anymore will give away a wonderful story which deserves to be read by all.

I was given this book by NetGalley and Penguin Group Viking in exchange for my honest review.

Book Review: House Trained

When I first saw this book's cover I though I cannot wait to read this novel.

Alex is married to Barry. She is an interior designer and a perfectionist. These two decided not to have children, however, they did adopt a labradoodle. Suddenly, Barry finds out that he is a father and a grandfather. And an ex that is trying to work her way back.

This book is a great book to read. It is easy to fall for the dog and the baby in this book. I loved this book from the first page to the last and I recommend it to anyone.

I was given this book by NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing in exchange for my honest review.

Book Review: The Canterbury Sisters

I started reading The Canterbury Sisters because the title and location of the story intrigued me. I enjoy Chaucer and this is a salute to his book The Canterbury Tales. Eight women met for the first time on a pilgrimage to Canterbury Cathedral. On the way they must each tell a story of love, much as Chaucer had occur in his book. The one that the group votes as most worthy will be rewarded by a feast at the end of the trail.

Along the way, the reader is introduced to each lady and, by the end of their tale, discovers the reason for each on to be heading to Canterbury. There are many versions of love as these women discover. The reader will be pulled into this book with the first words and will have their hearts lifted and broken as we hear tales of love.

Kim Wright wrote such a wonderful tale and I look forward to reading more of her works. Thank you so much.

I was given this book for my honest review by NetGalley and I most gladly gave it.
