My review of THE THINGS WE NEVER SAY is on Book Chatter today.
I love Strout but this one didn’t quite hold up.

I think I liked this more than the previous book. Solid.

My review of TRAD WIFE is on Book Chatter. Comes out 9/29. Trad Wife is everything that Yesteryear wasn’t. There, I said it. Get your copy.

My review of WHISTLER is on Book Chatter. Man, reading this was like taking a long sip of a delicious hot drink. So comforting. All about family, connections, and love. Some of the best dialogue I've read. Quiet, reflective and intimate. #whistler

My review of The Spin is on Book Chatter. I liked this one. Is it hysteria or something darker?

New review on Book Chatter today. The Housewife is that dishy kind of read that causes you to put the chores on hold.

New review. This was good. Complex, flawed characters. Los Angeles setting. #KristaDiamond #SimonandSchuster

My review of HOW BEAUTIFUL WE WERE is on Book Chatter today.
Didn’t strike me the way I thought it would. Still memorable. Corporate greed over humanity is a tough pill to swallow. #Books #BookReview

New review. This one just came out. Female friendships can be tricky. The last third of the book was especially good. #BookSky

My review of MAYBE IN ANOTHER LIFE is on Book Chatter today. Not a new premise but handled in a unique way.
Daisy Jones is still her better book. #Books #Reading

I don’t have the bandwidth this year to come up with a summer reading list so I am picking one book to read over the summer. One 1300 page classic that has been on my list forever. #Books #Reading
You in? Anyone???

My review of FOX is on Book Chatter today. I was absolutely mesmerized by the writing. Tough subject. Think modern day Lolita.

My review of NUCLEAR WAR: A SCENARIO is on Book Chatter today. An absolutely horrifying look at the immediate aftermath of a nuclear incident. Second by second. If you survived, would you want to? #Books

My review of VALET is on Book Chatter today. Was good. Good character development given that one of the main characters happens to be an artificial friend. 😉 #valet #simonandschuster #books

My review of VACUUM IN THE DARK is on Book Chatter today. This was the WTF book that made me think I was hallucinating. Completely unhinged but I loved it.
