Susan's Reviews As you know, I've only read Mark Harmon's book (which I enjoyed, but you and I already discussed how off his take on autism spectrum is.). Saw the Rain Man movie (I can't abide Tom Cruise - ever!) and was surprised you didn't include Tracey Garvis-Graves' The Girl He Used to Know in your list. Did you think she nailed it?
I am no longer reading any books by Jodi Picoult after she abused her media presence and went after that college student for voicing her honest opinion about either Colleen Hoover (I have no time for her) or the other one (Sarah Dessen) who writes almost exactly like Hoover. I agreed with the student: neither Hoover nor Dessen should be on ANY college English course curriculum. Oh dear, I'm off topic, but I blame it on the Phizer vaccine I took yesterday. Thank goodness for ice packs. My arm has been aching, and I feel like I have the flu! Nap time!

I haven't yet read The Girl He Used to Know. I'll order it. Thank you. Feel better soon.
