4.7 min readCategories: FeaturesDear Readers, a copy of Southie Girl came into our hands over at Caught in Southie , and we were extremely excited to take a look. Any time the neighborhood is highlighted in a novel, a movie, or even just referenced – our attention immediately peaks, hoping for an accurate representation and a handful of Greater Boston locations we recognize. Over the last year, most of the area (and possibly the country) became obsessed with the Karen Read trial.

3.8 min readCategories: FeaturesOne of the craziest books I’ve read. If you’re looking for an insane ride of a book that’s disturbing and feels like 308 pages of a Criminal Minds episode, grab this. WHO IS SALLY DIAMOND? We meet her as she’s cremating her own father’s body in her backyard, supposedly due to his wishes. She continues to go about her life until a neighbor catches a whiff of a “bad smell” and brings her therapist, the police, and the rest of the town to her door.

5.5 min readCategories: FeaturesIn the winter, I always want the thick, hearty fiction reads that transport me to another place. This is one of two “war-time” books (see below for The Women) – but it takes place in Malaya in 1945  (which I’d also never heard of). At the time, they under the hands of British rule, but many found themselves wondering if it would be better to keep “Asia with Asia” and receive support from Japan.

5.4 min readCategories: FeaturesHappy New Year to all!  I’ve officially read 105 books this year – with the majority falling in the thriller, contemporary fiction, and young adult genres. What about you? My goal is to diversify my bookshelf and my reviews. Thank you for continuing to read them here on Caught in Southie + let us know what you think. As you know, I’m not the biggest romance reader, but I’ve loved a Josie Silver novel in the past and couldn’t say no to her new one.
