Review: The Life of Chuck

The Life of Chuck The Life of Chuck by Stephen King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“The human brain is finite—no more than a sponge of tissue inside a cage of bone—but the mind within the brain is infinite. Its storage capacity is colossal, its imaginative reach beyond our ability to comprehend. I think when a man or woman dies, a whole world falls to ruin—the world that person knew and believed in. Think of that, kiddo—billions of people on earth, and each one of those billions with a world inside. The earth their minds conceived.”

At its heart, this book follows three generations of Novak women, each of whom carries a silver ticket granting them the chance to rewrite a single moment in their lives. For Lauren, caught between her faltering marriage, her longing for motherhood, and the reappearance of a pas...

Review: The Guncle

The Guncle by Steven Rowley My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🌅I was so looking forward to this book from the cover and description alone. From the moment Patrick O’Hara—semi-retired sitcom star, caftan enthusiast, and kid christened GUP (Gay Uncle Patrick)—reluctantly agrees to care for his young niece and nephew for the summer, you know you’re in for a story that will make you laugh until your cheeks ache and tear up when you least expect it. What begins as a short-term arrangement after the loss of the children’s mother (Patrick’s best friend) and their father’s stint in rehab becomes a transformative season of unexpected family, unfiltered humor, and tender healing. Patrick’s Palm Springs lifestyle—equal parts martinis🍸, snark, and Oscar Wilde-worthy one-liners—is hilariously ill-suited for two grieving kids, yet it’s in this clash of worlds that Rowley finds the novel’s magic. Through “Guncle Rules” that range from irreverent (“Rule number five:...
