Captivating thriller, but remember it’s fiction. Read Review Below Rating: ★★★ I don’t typically read fictional thrillers. The last one I read was “The Woman in the Window” and I didn’t really enjoy that one – too predictable and a bit outrageous. JUST GO OUTSIDE LADY. However, I liked “American Dirt” by Jeanine Cummins.

A must-read while in quarantine.

A how-to-guide in curbing your social media addiction. Read Review Below Rating: ★★★ Deleting my Facebook account was one of the most paramount decisions I’ve made in the last decade.
