📚Sexism at work:
Whisper Network by Chandler Baker trumps The Boys Club by Erica Katz. Whisper addresses the sexism women still deal with at work. These women are strong and win by being better than their counterparts. They stick together and dominate. In the Boys Club, one woman has to lower her standards, do drugs and basically have no morals to simply “keep up” with the boys. She throws other women under the bus and covers for men in front of their wives. Both address #sexismatwork #metoomovement but one is far superior and makes women look much stronger and smarter. 
📚 Thriller/suspence/paranormal
 The Guest List by Lucy Foley trumps Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware. Both books kept me guessing, however Turn of Key left things unfinished and had a repetitive plot. The Guest List kept things moving with the characters point of view for different chapters. 
📚Young Adult series
#AmericanRoyals trumps #MooseSpringsseries . Royals has better character development and story lines. Cute, sweet with female empowerment. I’m not sure if Moose springs is YA, but it is written that way. Very cliché. Poor writing style. Zero creativity and cringe worthy “Flirting”. 
📚 #Contemporaryromance
#TheGirlHeUsedtoKnow by Tracey Garvis Graves trumps #Kissquotient by Helen Hoang. Both address the autism spectrum and dating. Girl he Used to Know has much better character development and an actual story line. Kiss Quotient paralleled The Roomate too much for me-it was almost like the exact same book. Weak story line and an excuse for the author to write about sex in the open door scenes. (Although both books are open door romance).
📚 #ChristinaLauren books
This was a new author (s) to me this year and I liked #Unhoneymooners more. It was witty and had me laughing out loud. Yes, predictable but that’s kind of what’s expected. It wasn’t boring predictable. Open door romance but I don’t remember it being too steamy(?). #Roomies was a little slow/boring and didn’t have the funny/sassy characters.
