Goolrick is a master at writing powerfully emotional books that build up to a shocking climax and his latest is no exception! "Heading Out to Wonderful" is the story of a small town just after World War II and the tragedy and heartbreak that occur there - this one packs a punch!

Fans of Jincy Willett and Patricia Marx will enjoy Crane's spot-on observations and off-beat sense of humor. I enjoyed every page of "We Only Know So Much" and so will just about anyone else - I'll be recommending this frequently for summer readers!

Gillian Flynn is an exceptionally talented author and I thoroughly enjoyed her twisted new book! Flynn weaves an intricate tale of psychological games and thrilling twists - I couldn't put it down until I got to the stunning conclusion! This is the kind of story that lingers with you long after you've finished, I can't recommend it enough!
