Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun by Elle Cosimano

 

I think the Finlay Donovan books are one of my very favorite series -- they are so ridiculous and ridiculously funny.

Locust Lane by Stephen Amidon

 

I really liked this. It reminded me of Little Fires Everywhere, but without being derivative. I think it would be a great choice for book groups.

Despite one excessive plot twist, this was quite fun.

The Thousandth Floor by Katherine McGee

 

Decent teen futurism.

The Game Is a Footnote by Vicki Delany

 

Decent if you like cozy mysteries, but it seemed like the conclusion was a bit too far-fetched.

The Villa by Rachel Hawkins

 

Engaging, but I kind of wanted it to end differently. So, overall, decent but not stellar.
