Finlay Donovan Is Killing It Book Review

Book review by Dinh.

4 stars

Read synopsis here.

Review:

I don’t know why Finlay Donovan Is Killing It by Elle Cosimano has not been talked about more since it’s publication in 2021. I bet it’s on people’s ‘to be read’ pile!

Here’s a public service announcement: now is the time to move it to the top on the pile!

This is my first book by Cosimano so I was unsure of what her writing is like. She was a nominee for the YA Edgar Award so she should be pretty good. This book is her adult book debut.

Pachinko Book Review

4.5 stars out of 5 stars

Read synopsis here.

Review:

Having read Pachinko by Min Jin Lee a few years back, I remembered that I enjoyed it but couldn’t remember the details as it has been awhile. I was glad to re-read this book to see if I liked it as much as the first time around.

I must admit, the second time around was better!! Not sure if it was because I listened to the book this time around. My hectic life with the kids has meant that I do a lot of audio books rather than reading the book physically. Regardless, I gave Pachinko and extra 1/2 star from last time.

Here’s what I loved about the book:
