Review: Tangled Up in You
Tangled Up in You by Christina LaurenMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
If you take Tara Westover from Educated, abducted Elizabeth Smart, the Branch Davidians, and turned it into a mashup of Rapunzel or Disney’s Tangled, it is this book.
I admit - I’ve never seen Tangled, and only remember “Rapunzel, let down your hair” from the fairytale, so maybe I missed the point.
It was much darker than I expected and is really a YA book. But I gave it 3 stars because I finished in 2 days, so I just have liked it.

Review: Lone Women
Lone Women by Victor LaValleMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
3.5 ⭐️
After her parents are murdered, Adelaide Henry abandons her family home with few possessions except for a mysterious trunk, and embarks on a journey to the Montana plains, where she hopes to start anew. But life becomes more complicated as secrets are discovered and a town and Adelaide reckons with the consequences.
A totally unique reading experience for me, as “horror” really isn’t my genre, but this was more of a genre-bending of historical fiction, western, fantasy, and ghost story - with some brutal slasher elements.
The tribe of women that support Adelaide was fierce - we should all be so lucky. And ultimately this is a novel of the power of love, acceptance, and families (or the lack thereof).
But the ending didn’t land where I thought it would, and there were some elements and characters that I didn’t quite understand.
I’m glad I pushed myself with this novel.
