Before and Again - Barbara Delinsky

Before and Again - Barbara Delinsky

She Read

Publication Date: June 26, 2018

This was my first Barbara Delinsky novel.  It was a good read and held my attention, although I thought there was just too much detail about applying makeup in the beginning!
I guess I am just not an aficionado of "women's lit"as it was just too much of a Prince Charming fairy tale for me.
But, if you are a fan of the genre, by all means, pick this one up.

The Middleman - Olen Steinhauer

The Middleman - Olen Steinhauer

He and she read.

Although the description of this book emphasizes its political undertone, it evolved into a standard mystery/FBI procedural.  Well written, it held my attention and was a compelling read. 

Mary B. - Katherine J. Chen

Mary B - Katherine J Chen

He and she read

Written from the perspective of Mary, the plain middle sister in Pride and Prejudice, the action takes place before, during, and after Austen's novel.
I thought it was well written and quite amusing.
Lately, it seems there have been so many fictional novels being written about real people that it was enjoyable to have a fictional account of fictional characters!

He enjoyed it as well!
