Under My Skin by Lisa Unger

What if the nightmares are actually memories?

Read Under My Skin by Lisa Unger to find out!

It’s been a year since Poppy’s husband, Jack, was brutally murdered during his morning run through Manhattan’s Riverside Park. In the immediate aftermath, Poppy spiraled into an oblivion of grief, disappearing for several days only to turn up ragged and confused wearing a tight red dress she didn’t recognize. What happened to Poppy during those lost days? And more importantly, what happened to Jack?

The case was never solved, and Poppy has finally begun to move on. But those lost days have never stopped haunting her. Poppy starts having nightmares and blackouts—there are periods of time she can’t remember, and she’s unable to tell the difference between what is real and what she’s imagining. When she begins to sense that someone is following her, Poppy is plunged into a game of cat and mouse, determined to unravel the mystery around her husband’s death. But can she handle the truth about what really happened?

I’m about half way through and I am hooked on this book. There is just something about a narrator who appears to be unreliable, but totally relatable. Poppy’s life after her husband’s murder is a sad, confusing struggle. She is lonely, mad at the unsolved case and unable to fine happiness. And then it becomes even worse when her nightmares become so vivid, she begins to think they might be memories.

And if that’s true, Poppy’s real struggle hasn’t even begun.

Book Review: Summer of '69 by Elin Hilderbrand

One of my most favorite book of the summer so far! Buy it here! When Elin comes out with a new book, it's a must. Like a don't-even-read-the-synopsis no-brainer. Just as she delivered a multi-dimensional page turner with The Perfect Summer, Summer of '69 is just as much a treat- but with historical fiction at its core, which is a genre Elin hasn't presented before. The story lines of several members of the Foley/Levin families intertwine as their lives during the summer of 1969 unfurl (or in some cases, unravel). There's 13-year-old Jessie, her mother Kate, and Kate's other three children, Tiger, a soldier serving in Vietnam, Kirby- a flower child with a rebellious streak and a past she's trying to run from, and Blair, who is about to give birth to twins and just made the biggest mistake of her life. At the top of the family tree is the matriarch, grandmother Exalta, who floats through the rooms of the family's sprawling Nantucket...

Book Round Up: High School English Edition

You don't like to admit it, but we all know how much everyone loved SparkNotes. Whether you just didn't want to, you couldn't find the time, or the subject matter was so over your head you couldn't cope, there were books in high school English class that you pretended to read, but actually didn't. For me, as a bookworm now, I can't believe there were books I left unturned. Especially if people were telling me to read. Nowadays, I have to beg for time to read. I can't believe I ever passed up the chance to read when people were requiring it of me. The books that I did read and will NEVER forget: To Kill A Mockingbird Romeo & Juliet The Scarlett Letter The Great Gatsby The Lord of the Flies The Odyssey The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn The Giver My Antonia Books that I Didn't Actually Read: Great Expectations 1984 A Tale of Two Cities The Catcher in the Rye Animal Farm ...

Book Review: The Girl On The Train

If you follow top book lists, you've more than likely heard of The Girl On the Train by Paula Hawkins If you still have a book hangover from Gone Girl like I do, you'll be happy about this twisted story. It's gritty, mean, obsessive and dark, just like Amy Dunn. Although it didn't get my heart racing, (a little too vague at some points) it did have twists that left me stunned. Rachel is an alcoholic. A sad, lonely woman who tortures herself by riding a train everyday and looking out the window at her ex-husband's house. The house that used to be theirs together, only now it's him inside with his new wife, and their baby. And she's just a girl on a train. She watches them, knows they had a baby girl because of the new pink curtains in the window. She can see them laughing and playing on the patio. And even though it kills her, she still watches them every day. She even starts daydreaming about the lives of their neighbors, a happy...
