All Rhodes Lead Here by Mariana Zapata Book Review

Reasons For Reading This Book:  As an active Readheads member I read the chosen book each month. May 2022's choice was All Rhodes Lead Here by Mariana Zapata . As this was a Snitch's choice I was excited to read it because I have a high track record of liking her choices. I always look forward to a good romance or love story. Content of the Book: Following her divorce from a country music star, Aurora De La Torre heads back to where she grew up in Colorado to find herself and reconnect with the live she lived there with her mother.

This month I decided to read Into the Water by Paula Hawkins because I knew of the author due to her widely famous book The Girl on the Train  only due to its being on the front cover and because in the moment at the library the description interested me and made me want to read it. I also find it necessary to mention that I did not read Girl on the Train, but have seen the movie. If you didn't already know I am attempting to watch all of Emily Blunts movies check this out . Content of the Book This book takes place in the small town of Beckford. This t...

Palacio before I watched the movie since the movie is based off of the book.
