I found myself really disturbed by parts of the book, but it made me think. I made my husband read it so I could talk to someone else about it! The characters really stayed with me though. I feel like that's a hallmark of a well-written book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-recommendations-3#post-2540270 Tue, 03 May 2016 20:31:52 +0000 BelugaBean 2540270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just finished Ghettoside and I loved it! I read Before I Go to Sleep before that and it was pretty good. I just started My Husband's Secret because I needed a somewhat lighter read after Ghettoside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-recommendations-3#post-2540222 Tue, 03 May 2016 19:40:03 +0000 gilmoregirl 2540222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just finished Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and loved it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-recommendations-3#post-2540219 Tue, 03 May 2016 19:32:02 +0000 shortcake 2540219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsbookworm: I just finished A Little Life and I feel so conflicted about it. I feel like the violence was so gratuitous. The prose was beautiful in parts and but overwrought in many places. I'm still so confused with how I feel now that I am done.
