Who Owns You?

 Something to think about from the great, smart, wise, Walter Williams. 

Who owns you? If one owns himself, then it is he who decides how much risk he takes. If government owns you, then you don't have the right to unilaterally decide how much risk you'll take.

You Let Me Go Kindle by Eliza Graham

You Let Me Go by Eliza Graham  

 Spellbinding. The book centers on Morane, the grand-daughter of Rozenn. Though close to her Grandmother, Rozenn leaves the family home to Morane's sister and leaves an old silver compass with initials on it to Morane.   Morane has lost her boyfriend, her business is struggling, and she focuses on what could have made Rozenn turn her back on her?

Morane finds clues that lead her to Brittany which was under German occupation in 1941.  The story seamlessly move from Rozenn's point of view starting when she was a teenager and living in Paris - taking us up to how she and her family fled to Brittany and what happened to her and her family. Her part of the story is fascinating and I was a bit sad to leave her behind when it switched to Morane's point of view. Morane's story, at times, was not as page turning, but still interesting. as she wound her way through clues. The ending was a bit too tidy but perfectly satisfying. I could see this movie on the big screen!

The Sinful Lives of Trophy Wives by Kristin Miller Pub Date: 20 Jul 2021

 The Sinful Lives of Trophy Wives

by Kristin Miller

Pub Date: 20 Jul 2021

A good book, interesting story. 3 "Trophy" Wives are friends in an exclusive neighborhood. One of the wives is getting married for the third time, after her first two husbands died mysteriously. 

There were some pauses for me. Most of the characters were not likeable. And by the end, they hadn't really changed. There was no one to "root" for. That being said, the characters were built enough that it was easy to fall into their stories. Plenty of twists and turns to keep me reading for two days (and during football playoffs which annoyed my husband - haha). 

All in all, I'd easily recommend this to readers. Thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for this opportunity.
