The True Love Experiment, by Christina Lauren - Truly Outstanding

My review of The True Love Experiment, by Christina Lauren, is going to be very short.  It is flat-out outstanding.  It's not only one of the best romances I've read.  It's actually one of the best books I've read! It's very clever throughout.  I usually make some notes of sentences or paragraphs that stand out.  Well, in this case, I wrote down a few early on and then realized that the entire book is clever and smart. We all know how romances end.  But, in this case, the premise is really creative and something that I haven't seen before.  And there are definitely some poignant moments.  One word of caution - there are some physical interchanges and language that are NOT PG!  But it all fits together well.

 

There Are Memoirs and Then There Are Memoirs!

Erin Gordon's Look What You Made Me Do:  Confronting Heartbreak & Harassment in Big Law is a must read!  It focuses on her experience working as a first-year associate in a big law firm in San Francisco in 1993-1994.  Erin talks about what it was like to be treated in a way that most of us cannot even fathom.  She tells us about how that year stayed with her for the next 30 years!...and what she finally did to deal with her time there.  This memoir is raw and brave and poignant. 

And here's an added bonus:  Besides living this year along with her, you also get to read something that is so well-written.  I've always thoroughly enjoyed Erin's books, largely because she is such a good writer.  But by combining a mesmerizing story with such fine writing and heartfelt emotions, you get the trifecta!  Make sure you grab this one because it will sure grab you!
