Review: Adulting by Liz Talley

Adulting by Liz Talley
My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars

Published: February 2021

Chase London is an actress who has messed her life up. Drinking and drugs have almost destroyed her career. She has one last chance to get her life together and get this movie role. Olivia Han is the person who is going to be the one to do this for her. But will Chase accept the help and be able to get herself on the right path?

Thanks to Montlake and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

At first, I didn't think I was going to like this book. I wasn't drawn to a book about an entitled actress who wouldn't accept the help she didn't have to pay for. As the story went on and we got to know the characters better, I started to like the story better. Both of the women have issues in their pasts that have turned them into the women that they are today.

Throughout the book, you learn to like both Olivia and Chase. A book with a bit of romance and family secrets. There are a few trigger warnings that aren't dominating the story for rape, drug overdose and sexual child abuse.

Summer Reading 2016

SUMMER READING 2016

It's that time of year again, the kids are out of school, the library has started the summer reading program, and I'm ready to dive into some good reading this summer.  So far my summer reading has started off well with The Fixer by Joseph Finder.  I have borrowed a few books from the library that have been on my reading list for a long time.  Wreck and Order by Hannah Tennant-Moore, Maya's Notebook by Isabel Allende, The Guest Room by Chris Bohjalian, 15th Affair by James Patterson, and Murder in Time by Julie McElwain, and Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter.  

I have a couple o books from NetGalley that I can't wait to read.  The most anticipated for me is First Comes Love by Emily Giffin, All is Not Forgotten by Wendy Walter, and Results May Vary by Bethany Chase.  Results May Vary comes out in August and I will be participating in a blog tour for the book release in the middle of August.  

There are a few other books I have added to my TBR list that I hope to get to this summer or later this year:  Rich and Pretty by Rumaan Alam, Modern Lovers by Emma Straub, Girls On Fire by Robin Wasserman, Here Comes the Sun by Nicole Dennis-Benn, Imagine Me Gone by Adam Haslett, Another Brooklyn by Jacqueline Woodson, and Foreign Agent by Brad Thor.

So this is what I hope to read over the summer.  What is on your summer reading list?
