How Lucky You Can Be: The Story of Coach Don Meyer

I did not expect to enjoy this book because I am not a sports enthusiast. I had no idea who Don Meyer was, and I had no interest in college basketball. Nevertheless, I became thoroughly engrossed in the story. It was by turns dramatic, humorous, and inspiring. It read like a fast-paced basketball game; I couldn’t help but follow the action.

Commonwealth

by Ann Patchett

Humorous tone despite serious subject matter. Complex characters that garner reader's sympathy. Outrageous but also funny. Tells a sometimes tragic story without being melodramatic. I liked the way the author switched up the narrative by...

Truth Be Told

by Kathleen Barber

Captivating family drama. A commentary on social media. Steady pace. Emotional. Tense. I guessed the murderer long before the big reveal. I grew weary of the constant drama but still became engrossed in the story.
