Reviews for September 2023 Releases

To make things easier to navigate, I thought I would aggregate all of my reviews for books released within a month. For books that are published this month and I have yet to read (listed below), I will add them to this post as soon as I write a review.

While You Were Out: An Intimate Family Portrait of Mental Illness in an Era of Silence

Meg Kissinger

From award-winning journalist Meg Kissinger, a searing memoir of a family besieged by mental illness, as well as an incisive exploration of the systems that failed them and a testament to the love that sustained them.

Publication Date: September 5

Rating: 4 out of 5.

The Stranger Upstairs

Lisa M. Matlin

Most people wouldn’t buy an infamous murder house to renovate for fun . . . but Sarah Slade is not most people.

Publication Date: September 12

Rating: 3 out of 5.

You, Again

Kate Goldbeck

A commitment-phobe and a hopeless romantic clash over and over again until heartbreak and unexpected chemistry bring them together.

Publication Date: September 12

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.
