The Same Sky
by Amanda Eyre Ward

Good quick read (11/4/2014)

I really enjoyed this book. I could not put it down and read it in one day. I usually do not like books that move back and forth between storylines but this one really worked. I think the short chapters helped keep the pace quick and the reader engaged. I had anticipated a …more

Crime of Privilege
by Walter Walker

Could Have Been Better (4/7/2013)

If I could give half stars I would give this book 3.5 stars I would. I really wanted to love this book. It started out really promising, I liked the narrators voice, and was glad the reader was able to find out the details of the Palm Beach sexual assault. The first half of …more
