"Dear Debbie" by Freida McFadden is WOW!
1.

It’s payback time for Debbie against all the people in her life who deserve it most, and she will see it gets done. Debbie is a fantastic character! (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)

"Possibility Dogs" by Susannah Charleson Is a True Story
1.
The Possibility Dogs by Susannah Charleson is a true story about a woman who trains dogs in shelters to aid humans with disabilities. This is very good. The dogs are memorable and of course, so is Susannah, the search and rescue worker who trains them.

"The Divorce" by Freida McFadden is Wild!
The Divorce by Freida McFadden is a good book for a book club to discuss. There are 11 questions at the end of it. As always, Freida's books are so very good. In this one, a couple gets a divorce after having a son. The husband kicks out the wife. Will she accept that and move on or not? What a story! I was engaged throughout and surprised at the twist I did not see coming. Freida's books do not let you go till the very end! (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)

"A Court of Frost and Starlight" by Sarah J. Maas
It has been a long time since I read a Sarah J. Mass book, my bad! In A Court of Frost and Starlight, Feye is getting ready for the winter holidays. But not all is right in her kingdom. I hated to see this book end. This is much shorter than others I've read by her, but very good. Sarah Maas is a very talented writer! I LOVED IT! (5++ stars)

In The Ex by Freida McFadden, Cassie's life is good. She runs a bookstore and is going with a great man. She sees her life as being married soon and having kids, but plans do not always come true!

Then ending of this book was fantastic! (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)
