  • Final Girls by Riley Sager

    Final Girls by Riley Sager

    My entire synopsis in three words? Another great thriller. And for any of you who know me and my reviews well, you know I love a great thriller.

    Braving the Wilderness by Brené Brown

I mean, seriously, I can’t remember the last time a piece of fiction has had me this paranoid, and had me going this many times over every interaction I’ve ever had with a man. And that… Read more
