It follows 3 girls during their jobs at a magazine and their lives in New York.  The writing and humor reminds me so much of my friends it's crazy, I'm making them all start the show this week. “No matter how bad home is, it is still home, and home is something that w...

As well as  any other random happenings going on within the week! The Accident by  Natalie Barelli (Review) Vox by Christina Dalcher ( Review) Top Ten Tuesday topic From Here to You (Crash and Burn #1) by Jamie McGuire (Review) “we were also aware of our faults without playing the victim.”  ―  Jamie McGuire, From Here to You

Vox by Christina Dalcher Goodreads Summary: Set in an America where half the population has been silenced,  VOX  is the harrowing, unforgettable story of what one woman will do to protect herself and her daughter. On the day the government decrees that women are no longer allowed to speak more than 100 words daily, Dr. Jean McClellan is in denial—this can't happen here. Not in America. Not to her. This is just the beginning. Soon women can no longer hold jobs. Girls are no longer taught to read or write. Females no longer have a voice. Before, the average person spoke sixteen thousand words a day, but now women only have one hundred to make themselves heard. But this is not the end. For herself, her daughter, and every woman silenced, Jean will reclaim her voice.   My Review: 4/5 Stars Vox was a well-written novel about men silencing feminist, or all females rather. They are limited to only a 100 words a day. I don't know about you but I say that much j...

The Accident by Natalie Barelli Goodreads Summary: If only she'd said no...   Katherine  knew she’d had too many drinks, but they were only going a short distance. And as  Eve  pointed out, it was late, there was no traffic anyway...  Now, Katherine would do anything to turn back the clock.  If anyone ever found out about the accident, it would ruin Katherine’s life . But no one needs to know because Eve was there too, and she’s going to help make it all go away. Except  something's not quite right with Eve , and by the time Katherine realizes that… It's too late. My Review: 3.5/5 Stars At first I saw similarities with the new Netflix show Dead to Me, but I think its a bit of a reach with 1 or 2 coincidences. I guess I've just been obsessed with the show. Both kept me engaged and predicting possible outcomes the whole time. A big difference was I didn't get it all right in the book. The characters of Katherine (Kat) and Eve...
