21/30 Count My Lies by Sophie Stava
A compulsive liar manages to get hired as a nanny for a wealthy, privileged New York couple. But their picture perfect life may not be what it seems and she may not be the only one lying. Twisty and somewhat suspenseful.
22/30 The Names by Florence Knapp
This novel asks the question: can a name change the course of a life? Spanning thirty-five years, the story follows three alternating versions of the life of a family, shaped by the mother’s choice of a name for her baby boy.
I could not put this book down. While it’s a little confusing keeping the alternating storylines straight, it’s fascinating to see how one choice this mother makes puts their lives into three completely different trajectories. Be forewarned it does deal with domestic abuse and can be difficult to read at times. But I got completely caught up in the character’s lives.
