How to Age Disgracefully by Clare Pooley is about a handful of older people who band together to stop their senior center from being shut down. I enjoyed it! I liked the characters and it was funny at times too. The story line kept the book moving along and there is even a dog in it which always is a good thing! This is an enjoyable, light read.

"The Teacher" by Freida McFadden
The Teacher by Freida McFadden is about lots of inappropriate behavior. I did not care for this one because first of all, I didn't like any of the main characters, I thought Addie was very stupid, Eve and Nathaniel were both unfaithful. A lot of the storyline seemed too far-fetched to believe. It had a wild ending, but not believable. The only part that was believable for me was the bullying of Addie. I had high expectations for this one because my husband loved it so was disappointed in it. I did like that it was quick read! (Karen's review, 3 stars)
In The Teacher by Freida McFadden, Addie is 16 and bullied in high school. Eve is one of her teachers who would like to befriend Addie; however, Eve finds out that sometimes it is better to leave things as they are. This book is really good! I LOVED IT! The storyline is excellent and the chapters are short so it goes quickly. I was always happy to get back into it. What an ending! (5++ stars)

"Darling Girls" by Sally Hepworth
Darling Girls by Sally Hepworth is told by three girls who grew up in the same foster home. I loved all three of them! Years later, they get called back to their childhood home. You will have to read the book to find out why! I'm not telling. This book is really good! The storyline kept me turning pages quickly with a fantastic ending! (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)
