5 Books That I’ve Given 5 Stars To

Five stars on Goodreads is a huge accomplishment, and means that a book is something that is mind blowing. For me, a book that gets five stars is a book that I either can’t put down, get emotionally invested in, or just get sucked in the world of the book.

Throughout my 20-odd years as a reader, I’ve encountered so many books that I loved all over the years. These are only five books that I’ve given five stars too, but they all are definitely worth the read.

1. Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan: Before I Let Go was my first and only Kennedy Ryan book that I have read as of late, and I was obsessed with this book from the moment I read the first line to the last line. After the loss of a baby, Yasmen and Josiah amicably divorce. However, the two of them still remain on good terms — to the point where sparks fly. I loved every moment of this book, and everything about it. I definitely want to read more Kennedy Ryan’s books, but need to make sure that my calendar is clear.

2. Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid: Out of all the books by TJR, this one is my favorite book by her. I loved the characters, the way that the story was reading, and I loved the TV show.

3. Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin: Something Borrowed was one of my first “adult” books that I’ve read. I remember just being sucked into this world. This book tells the story of best friends Rachel and Darcy. Rachel has always had to step aside so that her best friend could be the star of the shoe. So, when Darcy’s fiancé kisses Rachel one night, Rachel is conflicted with the line of right and wrong.

4. The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah: This tells the story of sisters, Vianne and Isabel. Both live in France, and a German captain soon takes over Vianne’s home. Both sisters, whether on the front lines or home front have a crucial part in the war, and this one is definitely worth the read.

5. Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus: This novel takes place in the 1950s, and tells the story of Ms. Elizabeth Zott, a chemist who has a TV show. This novel was both entertaining and thought-provoking, as it exposes many of the attitudes towards women in STEM in that time frame.

What are some of your five star reads?
