4.5 stars
I held off on reading this book while it was still being highly reviewed (and many of them mixed) and I'm so glad I did because I really enjoyed this sweeping historical novel. This book is about as different as can be from The Goon Squad, which I also loved, but like her former book is really well written with compelling characters. Set in New York during World War II, following a young woman, her father and the mobster they were both involved with, this book is so beautiful and I didn't want it to end. I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
How to Walk Away by Katherine Center
Publication Date - May 15, 2018
3 stars
A young woman whose really got everything that she wants, life is irrevocably changed in an instant and she must learn how to live a happy life again. Without giving away too much of the plot, I will say that I really liked this premise and some of the points it made about overcoming tragedy and moving on with a meaningful life. I thought, though, that some of the story was just too easy and there was one cringe-worthy scene that almost made me quit reading. So, overall, I have a mixed reaction to this book. I liked it but also had a few issues with how the plot developed. I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
