Oh boy, a bit delayed in getting April's books posted, but better late than never I suppose. It was a good month of reading. 

Five stars

Culpability by Bruce Holsinger
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Five stars because this book is still making me think about it after I've finished reading. The central question the book poses is who is culpable when AI is involved? Is it the algorithm? The humans? The book opens with a family of five in an autonomous car on the way to a lacrosse tournament. They get in a car crash and two people in the other car die. Who is at fault? This book was so good, even though I found a few of the main characters kind of insufferable and wanted to throw them right into the Chesapeake Bay where most of the story takes place.

The Correspondent by Virginia Evans
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book! A book told entirely through letters and wow by the end did I feel like I was best friends with Sybil, the main character. She was fun and a little feisty and a little peculiar, and seeing life through her letters was just a really great way to read her story. Highly recommend!

Four stars

Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I liked so much about this book -- the setting, the dual timelines the characters -- and in true Emily Henry fashion, it was a fun and fast read. What I didn't totally love was the budding relationship between the two writers competing to get a book deal. I loved the parts of their story focused on their interview and research for the book, but the two of them together as quickly as it seemed to happen, didn't feel quite as natural as some of the relationships in other Emily Henry books. Still a good, enjoyable read that I'd recommend.

Anatomy of an Alibi by Ashley Elston
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I loved her first book so was really excited to read this one. I liked the premise of this one, but there were a few places where I thought things were a tiny bit predictable or a bit unrealistic. Still, it was good and enjoyable and I liked it!

Three stars

All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I liked this book and I wanted to know how it ended, but I don't think it needed to be almost 600 pages. I thought the first bit was fast paced and really good, and the I felt the same about the end chunk, but the middle just sort of plodded along, and I only stuck with it because I was really invested in finding out what happened at the end.
