The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is one of the best written books I have read to this day. Every single sentence of this book is so captivating, and there was not one time where I was not interested in the writing. From the writing style to the development of each character, everything about the book is spectacular. There are 7 sections to the book, each dedicated to one husband, given the name. I thought the book was structured extremely well and the twists are perfectly plotted throughout the storyline.
Home Before Dark is an exceptionally well-written psychological mystery book. While reading this book I felt several different emotions. At the beginning of the book it was somewhat of a slow read, showing you the daily life of the main character, but as the story accelerates the story gets more and more fascinating. There are so many different twists in the book and none of the aspects are too predictable making it an enjoyable read.

A book I quickly fell in love with. It may not be a perfect book for every reader, as we all have our different preferences. Not everyone will love it as much as I. But I love it. I find it hard to imagine a book that could be more perfect.
I rarely buy books. I work in a library, so I feel almost every day I have all the books I could ever want at my fingertips for free. I don't often feel the need to buy them for myself. Plus, buying a book means I am unlikely to read it.
