Review: The Female Persuasion

The Female Persuasion by Meg Wolitzer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

📚 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀! Monday again. I smile every time someone says that since they are at home, they do not know what day it is. I am still working, so I am quite aware of what day it is, and I envy them a bit. I finished reading 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘂𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 by Meg Wolitzer. This is a fantastic read about a young woman who takes her place in this world. The book treats the subjects of love, feminism, friendship, loss, betrayal, and forgiveness. I relate to this book and its main character. I have tried all my life to do good to others and was often hurt in the process. This has not stopped me, but I am more careful and learned from my experience. The book is beautifully written and showcases the struggle and success of non-profit organisations geared to help women. It is an ode to all feminists who have wanted to improve women’s rights.

🙋🏼‍♀️ Thank you, 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗻 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗱𝗮 for sending me a final copy of this beautiful novel. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘂𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 by Meg Wolitzer is available at your favourite bookstore.

Review: The Last Love Note by Emma Grey

The Last Love Note by Emma Grey My rating: 3 of 5 stars In THE LAST LOVE NOTE by Emma Grey, I embarked on a journey filled with conflicting emotions. Despite my initial eagerness to delve deeper into the narrative, the unexpected weightiness of the prose caught me off guard. The narrative's frequent jumps in timeline, especially in audiobook format, proved disorienting and challenging to follow. However, Leeanna Walsman's narration was outstanding, rescuing the experience with her excellent delivery. The novel grapples with poignant themes, exploring the profound ideas of seizing life's moments and nurturing hope amid pain. Yet, occasional forced dialogue and slapstick humor felt incongruent with the somber tone. Nevertheless, the commendable growth of the characters and the author's skill in infusing joy and hope into a challenging narrative make it a worthwhile read. While my personal experience may differ, many readers have found this book highly enjoyable, so I e...

Review: Every Note Played

Every Note Played by Lisa Genova My rating: 5 of 5 stars I want to thank NetGalley and Simon & Schuster Canada for granting me an advanced copy of the Every Note Played book by Lisa Genova. Lisa Genova, author of "Still Alice" and "Inside the O'Briens", delivers yet another masterpiece. Every Note Played is a novel which addresses the devastating effect of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) on a celebrated pianist and his family. ALS (a.k.a. motor neuron disease (MND) or Lou Gehrig's disease) causes the death of neurons controlling voluntary muscles. Over time, as the muscles of the body break down, someone living with ALS loses the ability to walk, talk, eat, swallow, and eventually breathe. At 45, Richard is diagnosed with ALS. His career is over and he has no one to turn to for help. Karina, his ex-wife, driven by guilt, becomes his reluctant caretaker. This endeavour is more than she bargains for, and both she and Richard are faced w...
