June was a slow reading month. Looking back, I realize why. Along with a rough month for our family that kept me from reading much, I also only read one book that I really liked. When you’re reading a bunch of stuff that’s not bad enough to quit but not good enough to love, it tends to slow down how much you read. I think that happened to me last month.
The Ex by Alafair Burke was my favorite book of June. Ironically, the book was on my “to read” list for awhile. I guess that’s why I keep that list, huh? I just never know what will strike me as interesting when it’s time to choose my next read.
In the book, Olivia Randall, a cut-throat criminal defense lawyer in New York City, is called to defend her former fiance, Jack Harris. Jack has been arrested for a triple homicide, including a victim connected with his wife’s murder years before.
Olivia is convinced that Jack is innocent, but she can’t figure out who would frame him. Olivia feels like she owes Jack for her past actions against him, but, the deeper she digs, the less certain she is that Jack isn’t capable of the crime he’s been accused of.
A good book always ends too soon. That was the case with The Ex. I encourage you to add it to your summer reads.
As always, happy reading!

MichaelDekkerTW I disagree with the idea that we should only have tragedy in our feeds. Otherwise, it’s all we would ever tweet about.
