What I’ve Read Lately: March Edition

I didn’t realize how many books I read this month until I looked back to pull together this post! You can always catch what I’m reading in real time and other book ideas on Instagram. I save everything in my “books” highlight and share as I finish books too. Here’s what I read this month! You can see what I read in January here.

March Books! What I've read this month.

The Last to Vanish

There is totally a story here but it was didn’t pick up until about page 80 and then again at page 190. Ending left something to be desired.

The Golden Couple

Could not put this down. Its about a picture perfect couple (on the outside) who goes to an unconventional counselor who swears she can fix anyone in just 10 sessions. Wild ride. So many twists and turns, and a terrific ending.

The Wife Between Us

Very Trippy and clever. Well-written. A recently divorced woman tries to prevent her ex-husband’s second marriage from happening - and she’s not the crazy one! You won’t be able to put this down.

The Unhoneymooners

This is a predictable beach read. I found the banter between the boy and girl who “don’t like each other” to be immature and annoying in the first half. But the second half is MUCH improved and did not disappoint with a plot twist. Good, easy and light love story read.

Love Theoretically

This is a super cute story of a nerdy physicist trying to find her way in the male-dominated STEM professor world. About 1/8 of the book has strong language and some steamy scenese which I felt took away from the book. Overall a great read and would recommend.

The Pilot’s Wife

This is an old one but aged so well. I loved reading this! Its about a pilot who is killed in a plane crash of a plane he was piloting. As the wife is dealing with fallout of that, she begins to uncover his secret life. Full of surprises and very emotional. Oprah’s book club in…1999! Apparently this was a soft trilogy and Fortune’s Rocks and Sea Glass are the two prior books. They are both on my list for future reads.

The Housemaid’s Secret

Holy smokes this was a page turner and so incredibly good! This is actually the second book in a series - the first book is called the Housemaid. I will be reading it in April although this book stood fine alone. Its about a girl with a felony record who has a hard time finding work and is looking to get hired as a maid in rich person’s home. She has a history as a social worker and is known for helping women escape domestic violence situations. When she starts working for this family, she has an eerie feeling but you will never guess what’s actually going on. So many twists and turns and a great ending.

Up Next…

The Housemaid and The Secrets we Buried


ICYMI February Reads:

Its Always the Husband

This was a little slow in the middle but a GREAT ending. It takes you back and forth in time over a span of twenty years with three friends with very different backgrounds. I also loved the Woman in Cabin 10 by this same author.

Back in the Burbs

Cute and quick read. I picked it up because it was set in New Jersey. I was hoping for Janet Evanovich vibes but its more of a beach read, coming of age and love story with a side of New Jersey.

Everything After

The small choices make the big choices… unless you are the main character in a love story book. Good, relatable ending. with a messy, uncomfortable “what are you doing with your life?” middle.

The One by John Marrs

The One is by far one of my favorite books I've ever read - but don't watch the TV show. It doesn't do the book justice. This book follows six different people who all are looking to find ‘the One,’ but not in the traditional sense. In the future a DNA test can find your perfect match. Would you want to know?
