Code Name Verity by Elizabeth WeinMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I spent the first half of the book thinking perhaps I was missing things that were important to the story overall. I think that hampered my desire to read it. However, once I realized I wasn't and pieces started coming together, I liked the story. Definitely stick with it if you feel it's going slower or more convoluted than you like.
I did like the "voice" of the characters. And I definitely want to learn more about female pilots in WWII.

Love Lettering by Kate ClaybornMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I thoroughly enjoyed Meg as a character. Her interactions. Her development.
I liked learning more about the hand-lettering world. Not in my skill set, but I wish it was. So it was fun to read about, including the signs around New York.
This was an easy to read book that was engaging and with some depth.
Content: sexy stuff...I was skipping pages more than once; some language

The Silent Patient by Alex MichaelidesMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
When it comes to writing style and character development, this book was really just a 1.5 or 2 stars for me. The suspense element(s) that I couldn't predict earn it the bonus star, bumping it up to three.
It was a great book for book club discussions. And if you like thrillers or suspense, you might want to give it a try. It is getting all the buzz still and is slated to become a movie.
Content: violence
