An emotionally rich tale in her powerfully moving novel Everything’s Still There, exploring postpartum depression.
Generous, moving and alive. A gift….

It was an amazing read. This story focuses on maternity at it's crudest. Not everything is pretty and easy, sometimes we are not ready for that kind of challenge and women are judged hard because of it.

I like the tone of the book. It raises questions about the cultural roles for men and women on parenting. Is the "maternal instinct" real?

I recommend every woman who has doubts about maternity to read this book. Not because I want to discourage them, but because I think they would benefit from it. The most we know, the better.

This is such a relatable book that would make an amazing movie. The characters are heartwarming and develop beautifully, gently the surprise ending really completes it.

Four friends have stolen aboard the Titanic. They're after the Rubaiyat - a book inlaid with priceless jewels. Josefa is a charismatic thief, Hinnah a daring acrobat, Violet an outstanding actress and Emilie a talented artist.

It is Josefa's plan, but she needs all of their skills. Despite their very different backgrounds, in a world of first-class passengers and suspicious crew members, the girls must work together to pull off the heist of their lives.

This book felt both extremely relatable and slightly unpolished. It was hard to tell what was supposed to be reality and what was happening in Brynn's head. I'm curious enough to try out another one of the authors books however.

Good premise. Confused a bit on what was real.

Thanks to author, publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free, it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.

This book was everything I wanted it to be. It had me turned pages without even realizing. It was so good!

This ARC was provided to me via Kindle, from Alcove Press and #NetGalley. Thank you for the opportunity to preview and review. Opinions expressed are completely my own.


Relatable characters, well thought out story.

I wanted to enjoy this but I feel like it was not what I was expecting, I was left wanting more but also... not wanting to read another.

I’m not sure how to rate something like this. It’s SO relatable. Brynn describes her feelings about motherhood and how they are not at all what she pictured as BeforeBrynn. It takes me back to those early days where the minutes seem like hours and you don’t feel like you can do anything right. But with that being said, it’s also hard to read. It takes a lot out of you. And it’s slow going.

Brynn forms an unlikely friendship with elderly Joy and this keeps her from sinking entirely below the surface. But Joy has demons of her own, too.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was a tender and poignant story of loving and growing through loss, hardship, and heartache, Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.
