Books I read in February 2018
Best Friends Forever by Jennifer Weiner **
This was a book about two friends reunited years after graduation. One friend had betrayed the other in high school so they were out of touch but then the betraying friend was in trouble and sought her old friend for help. It was sort of good and sort of dicey at times (lots of skimming) and sort of farfetched and not believable. Meh.
In the Midst of Winter by Isabel Allende ***
I liked this book! It was set in Brooklyn and Guatemala and Chile and Brazil. It is about three very different people who come together after a big snowstorm in Brooklyn and how they help each other solve the big problem they find themselves in the midst of. For example, there's the problem of what to do with the dead body....
Love the One You're With by Emily Giffen **
This book is about a woman who is confronted with an old flame and tries to decide if she's happy with her husband or if she wants to go back to her boyfriend. It felt like watching an oncoming train wreck and I spent most of the book super frustrated but I still read it, so there's that.

I liked "In the Midst of Winter" also. I thought it was very relevant, though the event that brought them together wasn't typical. Read "Sourdough" by Robin Sloan. You'll recognize the character types.
