So glad I stumbled across this little gem. It’s a short read, but packs a punch! Be warned it’s sweary and check the CW!

🎧The Hate U Give - Angie Thomas
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I loved the characterisation in this one. And Thomas’ storytelling is perfect - she made me cry, she made me chuckle, she made me shocked.

🎧We Play Games - Sarah A Denzil ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As you’d expect with a thriller, this goes to some dark places, so consider yourself warned! An interesting take on the conman trope with very tense, short chapters that add to the tension.

What an opener! Not so much a “whodunnit”, more of a “whatwasgoingon”. And there’s a lot going on in this family.

A cracking premise that didn’t really deliver for me. Normally a huge fan of YA, this one might be in the younger end of YA for me (or maybe I’m just getting old 😩)

🎧The Storyteller - Jodi Picoult ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
An oldie from Picoult’s back catalogue, here she explores forgiveness - both for others and yourself. Some sections were hard to listen to.

An engaging thriller that’s crafted around childhood trauma and societal issues, and of course the central issue of revenge.

Jumped straight into this one after book 1. Wasn’t as pulled into this one as book 1, but this one certainly was darker and had a particular moment that really sucked punched me.

I’m a huge fan of her earlier books. They have a sense of magic, wonder & romance that transcends gender.
This appealed, but I struggled to connect with the story & characters.

Hey, did you know, when you order a book from Bert's Books, Bert points get credited to your account.
Which you can then use to get money off your next order!
Why not pop on and order yourself a treat?

As you’d expect with a multi-generational story, this covers a lot of themes and topics - so reader beware before you go into it. This one didn’t really hit me as much as I thought it would.
