This Is The Story of A Happy Marriage

The Rules of Magic

Little Fires Everywhere – Read it, liked it, can’t mentally separate it from the TV show!

The Lying Game – Loved it! Ruth Ware is one of my favorites.

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine – I liked it, but it didn’t really stand out to me. I’m not one for character-driven novels really though.
