Hot Young Widows Club by Nora McInerny Purmont
I read this because I really liked the author’s previous memoir on grief. This one isn’t quite as good and the two together are redundant. #25wordbookreviews (Amazon)

Evvie Drake Starts Over by Linda Holmes
Charming little novel about the types of love and friendship we seek as adults — complicated and flawed, but still quite wonderful. Great summer read. #25wordbookreviews (on Amazon)

The Bold World by Jodie Patterson
This gorgeous memoir takes you inside Patterson’s privileged African-American upbringing, her wildly successful career, and ongoing efforts to raise a very big, very modern family. #25wordbookreviews (link)

Fleishman is in Trouble by Taffy Brodesser-Akner
I thought I knew what this story was going in, and it kept fooling me… right up until the masterfully clever and totally satisfying end. #25wordbookreviews (link)

Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls by David Sedaris
A few years ago I tried but couldn’t finish this. Just listened to it the whole way through to confirm it’s a rare Sedaris dud. #25wordbookreviews (link)

Sorry I’m Late, I Didn’t Want to Come by Jessica Pan
This very relatable author commits to overcoming her introversion over a year’s time. It’s basically my life — except I’m NEVER taking improv. Useful and entertaining. #25wordbookreviews (link)

Mrs. Everything by Jennifer Weiner
GREAT summer read. Lots of juicy stuff taking place over several generations of women, providing a good view into the aftereffects of some tough choices. #25wordbookreviews (link)

Everybody Died, So I Got a Dog by Emily Dean
Slow start but once everyone did in fact start dying, it was a wonderful book. Perhaps I should stop reading memoirs about death and grief. #25wordbookreviews (link)

Rules for Visiting by Jessica Francis Kane
Sweet story of a woman trying to understand the complexities of friendship. I mistakenly thought it was a memoir, but it’s actually a novel. Blerg. #25wordbookreviews (link)

It’s Okay to Laugh (Crying is Cool Too) by Nora McIrney Purmort
This might not be for you. But if it is, if this is that kind of time for you? This is one of the best. #25wordbookreviews (link)
