Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman Review

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman
★★

This book was not what I was expecting, it had a little bit of a darker undertone to it. The humor in the book was well written and made me laugh out loud.

Some of the scenes in this book could have been written better or painted a more vivid picture of what was happening in some parts of the book.

"He was alone when he died. Do they suspect foul play?"

I actually did laugh out loud at this part of the book, because you just can't say stuff like that, and Eleanor had no idea it wasn't something you should say. Especially right after the family had lost their grandfather.

This definitely is an adult book, I don't know if it was because I wasn't invested enough in the story or just wanted it to be over, but I feel like it wasn't a great interesting read. I might end up reading it again when I'm older.

Books I've Judged by Their Covers

Charlotte Holmes Series by Brittany Cavallaro This series was on display at my library and I picked up the first book, not only is the cover beautiful but the books are intriguing, have interesting characters and mysteries. .................................................................................................................................................... The Sun is Also a Star and Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon These books are gorgeous and as soon as I finished reading them, I immediately wanted copies for myself, if even only to display. I loved both books, they were such interesting takes on contemporary. .................................................................................................................................................... To Kill a Kingdom by Alexandra Christo This cover is to die for, the color of the background is gorgeous. I really enjoyed the book, I didn't know, but it was a modern retell...

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black Review

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “This is what you wanted, isn’t it?” he asks. “What you sacrificed everything for. Go on. It’s all yours." Jude and her sisters live in the Court of Faerie, only they're outsiders, known as mortals to the rest of the Court. Jude wants nothing more then to belong, but many of the fey despise humans. As Jude becomes more deeply embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions, she discovers her own capacity for trickery and bloodshed. But as betrayal threatens to drown the Courts of Faerie in violence, Jude will need to risk her life in a dangerous alliance to save her sisters, and Faerie itself. I started reading this book last month and stopped because I just wasn't feeling it, but I'm SO glad I picked it up again! The Cruel Prince's plot is a slow-going at first, but once it does pick up, it's definitely worth the wait. The world is extremely well built along with a fair amount of spying, along with roya...
