Review: The House We Grew Up In

The House We Grew Up In by Lisa Jewell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I found this book very hard to put down. The story is compelling with quite a few "I didn't see that coming" moments. This is an excellent story; quite modern in the issues brought up; and I am looking forward to the book club's discussion. So glad it was chosen.

Review: America's First Daughter

America's First Daughter by Stephanie Dray
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As my 4 stars indicate, I really liked this book. The author put me right into the time frame of Thomas Jefferson. Written through the eyes of his daughter (who I sometimes liked and sometimes hated) I learned about life during and after the American and French revolutions. The early years of our country certainly had its growing pains. The historical elements were fascinating and the fiction believable. I think it is a great "discussion" book, but being 500+ pages I'm hesitant to recommend it to my book club. If you do read it, please share your thoughts as I'm interested in with others think.
