May Round Up and Book of the Month!

May's Book of the Month is The Dead Wife's Handbook by Hannah Beckerman

I had a bit of a mixed reading month in May with my ratings for books ranging from 2 to 5 stars. The start of the month wasn't great for me and I couldn't have picked up The Dead Wife's Handbook at a better time because it stopped me from going into an epic reading slump! This was such an emotionally powerful book and I can't believe it's Hannah's debut novel. I seem to really be enjoying emotional women's fiction this year and The Dead Wife's Handbook was an absolute gem! To read more of my thoughts on this book check out my review here.

*** Evan Peters pretty much sums up my feelings throughout this entire book ***
