Book Review: The Woman Inside by E.G. Scott

I’ve been a bit behind on the reading front…at least the reviewing of it anyways. A few weeks ago I finished the twisty thriller, The Woman Inside, written by a pair of authors using the pen name of E.G. Scott. If you’ve liked thrillers like Gone Girl, Woman in the Window, or Girl on the Train, then I’d say you’ll really enjoy this pair’s debut novel.

Sure, some are better than others, but I’ve never truly been bummed watching them. I also know DC’s track record is pretty rough…Wonder Woman is the only critically acclaimed film on their roster.

Book Review: Holding Up the Universe

After reading the second installment of The Magicians, I wanted something light and easier to read. Thinking back to what I’d read in the past year, I remembered how amazing the book All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven was, so I decided to see what else she had in her catalog. With that research, I stumbled upon her 2016 novel, Holding Up the Universe. While not as devastating as All the Bright Places, this book still hit me in my feels.
