Clean by Amy Reed

This week I read Clean by Amy Reed. It is about Olivia, Kelly, Christopher, Jason, and Eva. They are all addicts who meet at rehab. None of them want to be there, but they all know deep inside that they have to get better. At first they really don't like each other, but they start relying on each other to get better. I really liked this book but it had some hard topics. It was a pretty quick read and I would recommend it for the end of the year.

The Girl on the Train Week 2

Every morning and afternoon Rachel takes the train to London, to make her roommate think she is going to her job. But in truth, Rachel doesn't have a job, or a husband, or family, or her life put together at all. She dreams of being like the couple she sees every day- she calls them Jess and Jason, but their real names are Megan and Scott. Megan and Scott are not a stable couple, they love each other but Megan has been cheating on Scott for as long as she can remember. And their neighbors at number 15 are named Tom and Anna. Tom is Rachel's ex-husband, and Anna just wants for her to leave them alone and let them and their daughter Evie be happy. But then one day Megan disappears, and they are all tied together trying to figure out who did the crime. Everyone is a suspect, including Rachel, but Rachel thinks she really has the key to crack the case. 

This book is really interesting and I liked it, but it is really long so it is not a quick read and it is definitely a 2 week book. It has some hard topics definitely but I still liked it. 

The Girl on the Train Week #1

This book is by Paula Hawkins and so far I liked it. It is from the perspective of three people named Rachel, Megan, and Anna. Every morning and every night Rachel takes the train. She is the girl on the train. She sees a couple that she calls Jess and Jason. Jess's real name is Megan. Megan feels useless, like her only purpose in live is to be a wife. Rachel is depressed, and longs for the life she had before.
Before she became an alcoholic and her husband left her and she lost her family and her house and she couldn't get pregnant. And Anna is different.  But everything is about to change, and they will all come together. This book is kind of hard, but I would recommend it.

My Name is Lucy Barton by Elizabeth Strout

This book is about a woman who is in the hospital. She has a friendly doctor, two children, and a husband, but she feels really lonely. But her mother surprises her one day, by flying for the first time across the country and staying with Lucy nonstop. Lucy reflects on the time she spent with her mother and how her mother has changed from when they were growing up. This book was a little boring at parts and moved slowly, but I actually thought it was pretty good. I would recommend it if you like novels like this, and it was pretty short too.
