"Insomnia" by Sarah Pinborough
In Insomnia by Sarah Pinborough, Emma's 40th birthday is coming soon. She has been dreading this day for a long time. Why? you ask. You will have to read the book to find out! I thought this book was very good. Emma is a great character and I never knew what was going to happen next! I loved the ending too! (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)
Insomnia by Sarah Pinborough left me in a fog sort of. The story line was so far out that I felt I wasted my time reading it. The whole plot is about whether Emma is crazy and paranoid or not. This book has an elaborate storyline that I felt moved too slowly. I felt sorry for Emma but didn't think much of her husband. There is some good action near the end and things do pick up so I didn't hate it. I didn't really like the ending all that much, but was okay with it and glad everything was explained. I do think it would make for an interesting book club discussion. (Karen's review, 3 stars)

"Reckless Girls" by Rachel Hawkins
In Reckless Girls by Rachel Hawkins, six people take off on an vacation to an island paradise. After a while, one person goes missing and another one is found dead! What is going on? Will the final four survive? This book is okay. The good story line kept me reading; however, none of the characters were really likeable. I feel this needed more action, but I did stick with it. (Gerard's review, 4 stars)
