I picked this up as it was on Reese’s Book Club. A powerful memoir from Austin Channing Brown about navigating the journey through the racism in America’s history. Following her life through majority-white schools, work places and organisations.
This was a quick read for me. I couldn’t put it down. It was enlightening and highlights that there is still a lot of ongoing issues in society, not just in America but across the globe.

Cleo James is offered a job to interview 5 of the most famous bachelors in movies after finding out that he husband has been cheating on her. Now that she’s free to do as she pleases, she doesn’t need marriage but does want to have some fun. Meanwhile muffin, an up and coming nude model wants nothing more than to get married. However her boyfriend sees her as a cash cow and wants to keep things as they are. But she knows what she wants and just how to get it.
This book didn’t really grab me and I didn’t feel anything towards any of the characters. Lots of lies, cheating, marriage and of course as the title suggests divorce. It was irritating how the female characters gave into the male characters too often. Plus the sex scenes were boring and left me wanting more.
The narration by Jackie Collins granddaughter India Thain was good, good voices for all the different characters and there were many.

Nancy, Eleanor and Mary met in college and have been friends ever since. When Nancy is murdered, Eleanor and Mary try to discover the mystery of who killed her. We learn that although the ladies lives seem perfect on the surface, as the title suggests they are definitely imperfect. Secrets and lies are revealed.
I enjoyed this book. I was gripped by the story and felt the strongest connection to Eleanor. I thought I knew who killed Nancy from the beginning, however the twists were pretty good. And finding out who David really is was interesting.
I listened to the audio book that was beautifully narrated by Helen Keeley while reading this book.
