The Non-Political Life of a Trad Wife
No matter how you pitch it, mystery/thriller books that expose the dark side of social media are never that revolutionary, and "Everyone is Lying to You" is no exception. While I was interested by the idea of looking at trad wives specifically, the author did not deliver on this idea. This ended up being an underwhelming, inexperienced, and apolitical perspective exploration.

Hamlet, and Ophelia, with Magic (The Prequel)
Despite it's few faults, I really did love reading this book. You also don't get a lot of people exploring what life in Helsingør looked like before the events of the play, and I thought this author did a really great job building out the origins of the characters and their conflicts. It was a good balance of being true to Shakespeare's version of the characters while also feeling original to this author. Ultimately, this is a great example of how to make the story of Hamlet
