Review: Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney

Mystery | Psychological Thriller | Fiction

Rating: 4 out of 5.

First Impressions: 

Beautiful Ugly kept me guessing until the last page, and even after finishing it I’m still unsure what to make of the ending. 

I feel the author took inspiration from the song “Hotel California” and turned it into a book. The women are programmed to receive but the men can never leave!

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

I don’t remember the last time I finished a book at this pace, in two days flat. Yellow Face is a fictional story of two friends, Athena and June. Athena Liu, a celebrated and successful published author, and June Hayward, a struggling writer whose career never quite takes off. Both of them love to write, but luck favors one over the other. Until it doesn’t.

Excited!

Reading a book without knowing what it’s about is the best feeling. Just a few lines in, and you’ll know if you’ll go on a journey with it or not. With this one, I’m shocked beyond belief. What a book! I don’t know where it’s going to take me, but I’m in for a ride. Let’s go, Ministry of Time! #thrilled #excited

Poet in the Park

Dear ol’ poet in the park,
with a smile spread across the face
and hands in the air
you welcome passersby
to stop by your side for a while.
Be it sun or rain,
you’re there all day, every day.
A hope to the hopeless,
a pause for the busy,
a smile for a frown,
a joy for the moody.
When I stopped by and noticed the twinkle in your eyes
I realized that stars don’t just shine bright from afar,
they sing sweet poetic words of melody.

Don’t miss the chance to talk to Garrett Buhl Robinson outside the New York Public Library. *.*
