I reviewed two wonderful but very different 5-star thrillers on my #bookblog today (link in bio). Happy Publication Day to Just Get Home by Bridget Foley and When the Stars Go Dark by Paula McLain! . Just Get Home is an intense thriller about a woman and a teenage girl working together to survive the aftermath of a very destructive earthquake in LA. . When the Stars Go Dark is a mystery thriller about several pre-teen/teenage girls who had gone missing in Northern California and the race to save them. It’s set in the 90’s when the internet and cell phones existed but before they became the tools that they are today which adds an interesting element to the story. . Both stories will keep you on the edge of your seat! . . . . #justgethome #bridgetfoley #whenthestarsgodark #paulamclain #mysterythriller #mystery #mysterybooks #thrillerbooksaddict #thrillerreads #thrillerbook #thriller #thrillerbooks #thrillers #thrilleraddict #happypublicationday #fivestar #fivestarreview #fivestarread #5star #5starreview #dontmissout #dontmissit #bookreview #bookreviewer #bookreviewersofinstagram #bookreviewblog #bookreviewsofinstagram #bookreviewblogger #bookstagram (at Lake Davidson) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNmweR_g08J/?igshid=k6jpddy1443s

📖“Rose e Hugo. Partículas binárias. Os dois unidos por algum acidente no universo que fez com que as suas mentes atuassem em positivo/negativo em estado de sono. Os íons do cérebro de ambos acendendo e apagando como vaga-lumes num campo escuro.📖 🔹{Hugo & Rose – Bridget Foley} Rose tinha seis anos quando sofreu o acidente de bicicleta, batendo a cabeça e ficando desacordada por cinco dias... Foi à partir daí que Rose conheceu Hugo, o menino que habitava seus sonhos, aonde os dois iam viver várias aventuras na ilha, a Ilha de Hugo. Rose vivia um cotidiano de mãe, arrumava casa, arrumava os filhos, preparava comida, fazia compras, satisfazia os desejos sexuais do marido, Rose já havia se acostumado com sua vida assim, mas tudo passa a mudar quando ela vai até a cidade Hemsford, levar seus filhos pro futebol, ao irem comer numa lanchonete de estrada, Rose se depara com Hugo e a partir daí sua vida começa a mudar! Um livro que nunca imaginei que iria amar tanto, encontrei esse livro num sebo que tem em minha cidade, a capa é linda, a sinopse me chamou a atenção, os personagens são bem desenvolvidos na trama, até mesmo os filhos de Rose tem um desenvolvimento incrível na história do livro; a cada capítulo o livro vai melhorando, quando vai chegando no final a escritora, Bridget Foley, realmente nos surpreende. 🔸{SINOPSE} Rose é uma dona de casa como outra qualquer — exceto em seus sonhos. Desde criança ela sonha com a mesma ilha e o mesmo amigo imaginário: um menino corajoso e divertido chamado Hugo. Esses sonhos são tão incríveis que, mesmo depois de adulta e casada, ela usa as maravilhosas aventuras noturnas de Hugo e Rose para acalentar seus filhos na hora de dormir. Todas as noites Rose escapa da monotonia de sua vida cotidiana para se tornar uma versão melhor de si mesma. Até que um dia Rose esbarra com Hugo na vida real. De repente nada mais parece igual. #papeandosteh #Hugo&Rose #BridgetFoley #Resenha #Livro #Book #Booklover https://www.instagram.com/p/BpvxguUgfY5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1twe6lxy0h843

when i read the back of this book & determined it was one i might enjoy i thought it was going to be this darling little love story. i thought i was opening myself up to a sweet little book about a woman who meets the man who’s been literally inhabiting her dreams her entire life. which, ok, is a huge part of the story. 

turns out this book is HEAVY. i got much more than i anticipated. part of me was disappointed because i was really just looking for a light, easy, pleasant, read. instead i got a large dose of real life, in a book made up of a lot of fantasy. 

i’ve been married nine years now. and it’s had it’s ups, and it’s deep deep downs. i think that’s marriage. fortunately we’ve conquered our biggest battles so far. reading this book reminded me of how i felt in those times, it was extremely relatable. it made me glad i’m i’m not there anymore. while also feeling relief because it must be so normal - this experience of feeling like the failure of the family, the one letting people down, the one searching desperately for a break, for relief - if someone is able to write about it in a way that felt so familiar. 

there’s a lot of sorrow and struggle and fight in this book. all of it real and important. but there was also a lot of adventure and fun and imagination. i loved  the dream world, until i didn’t. i loved the journey. i loved the growth and the moment when Rose realizes her own value and the beauty of the life she’s living.
