Be Yourself, Like Yourself by Eric Braun

Absolutely cute book about self esteem. This book gives easy definitions of big words for an age that does not know how to identify such big feelings.

They say, children grow in their sleep. How wonderful it would be to make them sleep with thoughts of how important they are. Of course, this book needs to be read with an adult as it will lead to many questions and you will want to answer with care. 

Beautiful illustrations and important feelings that children will relate to with ease. This book is a good library book that children can borrow and read every night before they go to sleep.

The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden

Dating apps. Marriage sites. Online data about people you are free to meet. As much as I want to be liberal in my thoughts and open minded, I somehow don't like the sound of these sites that host people to further their relationships. Most often than not, you bump into someone who will change your life forever. For good or for bad! The story is cleverly divided between a Before and Now timeline. The Before timeline talks of youngsters Tom and Daisy who were high school sweethearts. Tom comes from a fragile and volatile family background. His father often beats up his mother. Daisy's best friend does not want Tom to be close to Daisy; she does not trust him one bit. What has Tom done that is so bad? Or does he have bad company who do bad things?

She met a Kevin online and after one date,   Sydney realizes  that ...

  Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned. - William Congreve Now this is what I call a "psychological" thriller. I am so glad I chose this book from NetGalley to read and review. I will definitely be reading more of this author. This wonderful story is about two women - Olivia and Shelly. Typical of perspective of a person who seems to have lost everything, will find another person having everything they needed and deserved in life. Olivia believed with a vengeance that Shelly had murdered her brother when they were just teens. This memory was locked in the deep recesses of her heart until the day she bumped into Shelly. She now has to take her revenge and close this matter once and for all.  On tracking Shelly, Olivia finds out that she has been visiting this therapy group. She scoffs at this information that someone like Shelly, who has it all - a job, a great marriage, good looking husband, gorgeous little baby - should be visit...
