CLP Blog Tours

Blog Tour Sign Up: Blogger Girl by Meredith Schorr

What happens when your high school nemesis becomes the shining star in a universe you pretty much saved? Book blogger Kimberly Long is about to find out.
A chick-lit enthusiast since the first time she read Bridget Jones’s Diary, Kim, with her blog, “Pastel is the New Black,” has worked tirelessly by night to keep the genre alive, and help squash the claim that “chick lit is dead” once and for all. Not bad for a woman who by day ekes out a meager living as a pretty, and pretty-much-nameless, legal secretary in a Manhattan law firm. While Kim’s day job holds no passion for her, the handsome (and shaving challenged) associate down the hall is another story. Yet another story is that Hannah Marshak, one of her most hated high school classmates, has now popped onto the chick-lit scene with a hot new book that’s turning heads–and pages–across the land. And it’s also popped into Kim’s inbox–for review. With their ten-year high school reunion drawing near, Kim’s coming close to combustion over all the hype Hannah’s book is receiving. And as everyone around her seems to be moving on and up, she begins to question whether being a “blogger girl” makes the grade in her off-line life.

Chick Lit Review

Book Review: What Lies Behind by Cynthia Hill

I received a copy of What Lies Behind by Cynthia Hill in exchange for an honest review.

Summary:

Every family has its secrets… Behind the clouds of dementia, Lillian holds memories of a life that her granddaughter Lisa could never imagine. From her childhood in 1920s and 30s Toronto, to a young World War II society bride, through scandal and unthinkable tragedies, Lillian kept her extraordinary life a secret, retreating into a lonely, bitter existence. Curious about her grandmother’s mysterious past, Lisa unearths a long-buried secret that may finally bring the truth to light.

Review:

I very much enjoyed this book and found myself thinking about it late after finishing the book. Cynthia Hill is a great writer and she writes very compelling characters. Lillian is a tragic character who hasn’t lived quite the life that she envisioned. I found myself frustrated with her at times but overall, I found myself rooting for her character. I also enjoyed Lisa, although her character was not developed as Lillian. Overall, this story was very enjoyable and I think Cynthia did such a great job at telling their story. There is a lot going on but Cynthia handles it with ease and the story flows effortlessly. If you are looking for a mystery with a lot of heart, this book is for you!

Rating: 4/5 stars
