Ashley Audrain is a talent. I loved The Push and couldn't wait to read her latest.
The Whispers doesn't break new storytelling ground. A domestic drama that lifts the veil on an idyllic wealthy suburb that's thrown into turmoil when a young boy falls out of a window, threatening not only his life but the secrets of the adults around him. We've seen it before but Audrain infuses the characters with depth, feeling and relatability and the pace never lets up.
It's an easy read, sure, but it's gripping and some moments riddled me with anxiety. But, hey, marriage and parenting are tough so it's all on brand.

Self Care is a timely novel with interesting ideas and characters. I devoured it during a few trips to the beach while on vacation, so needless to say, it's a great beach read. This novel really moves and is written with a light touch, ensuring it never veers into being overly serious.
Typically, I find the world of startups, social media and self-care gurus to be unbearable. Stein circumvents the minefield of potential obnoxious tendencies and tropes, revealing characters that feel real and even garner some sympathy.
