ELEANOR OLIPHANT IS COMPLETELY FINE by Gail Honeyman

Reviewer: Danielle
This is a 2018 paperback release of a 2017 novel, and I immediately loved and hated the title character. She’s so specific and certainly has her reasons, and she’s one of those characters who will be remembered for years to come. I loved watching her figure out how to navigate life, which she had essentially been living on auto-pilot. A great book club book, and one I won’t soon forget.

BEFORE I LET YOU GO by Kelly Rimmer

Reviewer: Sandra
Just reminiscing about this book makes so many feelings come to the surface. In BEFORE I LET YOU GO Kelly Rimmer makes you stop and think hard about the fact that she has hammered in a message here. One you won’t forget and perhaps leave you with something to chew on. Amazing and enlightening and entertaining and Kelly Rimmer at her best.

This book took me by surprise. I had never read a book by the author before. However, this story about a mother’s love for her child and what she would do for her is heartbreaking.
