Rachel Reviews: At a Time Like This by Catherine Dunne
I really enjoyed the storytelling of Catherine Dunne. This was a straightforward read which examines the relationships between four friends across the years and how their experiences, both shared and otherwise, shape their lives. However, whilst Georgie, Maggie, Claire and Nora seem like a tight-knit group (with the exception maybe of Nora, who is always a little of an outlier), there are secrets that are kept despite their closeness and the book is about whether you ever really know someone as well as you think you do.

Rachel Reviews: Yellowface by Rebecca F. Kuang
The first thing that needs to be commented on is what a cover! I remember seeing it in the bookshop and it immediately catching my attention. From there, my curiosity was piqued. I know the old adage "Don't judge a book by its cover" but it's got to draw you in somehow, doesn't it, before words can hook you?

Rachel Reviews: Little Deaths by Emma Flint
I liked Little Deaths and what it sets out to do. Ruth Malone is a mother and our introduction to her in the start of the book perhaps does not present her in the best light, and in some ways sets the tone of the book: should we be so quick to judge based on what we think we know from appearance and lifestyle?

Book Review: THE ALCHEMIST
The Chemist, composed by Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho, is a significant and rousing novel that has enamored perusers overall since its distribution in 1988. Initially written in Portuguese, it has since been converted into in excess of 80 dialects, becoming one of the most generally perused books ever. The original mixes components of fiction, reasoning, and enchantment, making it an immortal story of self-revelation, dreams, and the quest for one's very own legend.
