Forgettable and lacking character development - for my first Gaiman read I was very disappointed.

Review of 'The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo' on 'Goodreads'

Reid knows how to write a gripping, entertaining novel! I thoroughly enjoyed the first half of this one, and was pulled in again by the twist ending. Just didn't love it as much as Daisy Jones - I found the dialogue in this one to be super cheesy and tended to scan through several pages after the third marriage ... worth a read just for the ending though.

Review of 'Circe' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This book is SPECTACULAR - it's hard to put down. Mythology/Greek literature has always been a bit daunting to me, but Miller is able to create a readable epic. Greek lit tends to be so male-centric, so this narration is so novel and exciting. Super vivid imagery and powerful characterizations!
