2018: #24 – From Cradle to Grave (Patricia MacDonald)

From Cradle to Grave by Patricia MacDonald

This was a decent read, but a tough one for me. Content warning: there’s a dead baby in it. I’m a little surprised at how hard that stuff is for me to read now that I’m not a brand new mom. As far as the issues the book tries to cover, I think it did a decent job depicting post-partum depression, though it was frustrating

The Ex by Alafair Burke

This is the first Alafair Burke I’ve picked up, and I’m glad I did. It made me realize it had been a while since I read a good thriller and how much I enjoy them!  The main character here is Olivia Randall, a New York defense attorney who receives a call one morning from the daughter of her ex-fiance, Jack. He’s been arrested for murder,

She used to be a stripper, and for years, she’s been on the run from a terrible event in her past. Except history is repeating itself and the urge to return to her past life

This book is the first in the Frieda Klein series. Frieda is a psychotherapist with a very private life. In London, everyone is concerned with the case of a missing five-year old boy, a case that may have a connection to a similar abduction 22 years earlier.

I really liked the heart of this book. I loved April and her unapologetic geekiness, and I liked what Dade has to say about body positivity, and that she wrote a male protagonist that walks the talk. What I wasn’t expecting was just how detailed into the fanfiction subculture this was going to go. It’s one of the few times I’ve started a book and
