One Good Turn

by Kate Atkinson
- Rated 5 stars
“Loved this book, even more than the first in the series. Loved how the author kept all her plates in the air and made all the stories and characters easy to follow. And even better, cleared everything up in the end with no strings dangling.”

Spin

by Catherine Mckenzie
- Rated 3 stars
“I expected this to be a little better than it was. I never got the sense that Kate understood just how serious her drinking problem was.”

“I did enjoy it, but just like the last book I read of hers, it wen on just that litle bit too long. At several points I wished to smacked Ellie and scream "grow up". But altogether a good story, well done. ”

The Very Picture of You: A Novel

by Isabel Wolff
- Rated 5 stars
“I had so enjoyed A Vintage Affair; I was quite pleased to read The Very Picture of You by the same author. And I was not disappointed.

I found the descriptions about portraiture simply fascinating. I’ve never read anything about painting someone’s portrait and I think the author did a great job. The back stories about the people getting their portrait done were so interesting. If I had a complaint (which I really don’t), I wish there could have been more.

The characters were fully developed and quite believable. The setting in modern day London was fascinating too as that’s some place I’ve always wanted to visit. I saw the romance coming a mile away—for some that would be a turnoff, but not for me. I enjoyed the journey immensely.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes a good story.
