My favorite read in 2024

Book cover of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

Jeff Beamish ❤️ loved this book because...

Not quite a love story, but a tale of a male-female friendship and the endless chances it gets to one day blossom into something more. Even non-gamers will be drawn into the world of video game design as two childhood friends struggle to create something lasting. A moving and enjoyable read.

My 2nd favorite read in 2024

Book cover of Tom Lake

Jeff Beamish ❤️ loved this book because...

A story steeped in contentment, Tom Lake is like a pleasurable summer walk filled with frequent stops to admire the beauty. The novel is in fact set in a cherry orchard where a mother gives her Covid-bound adult daughters all the details of her long-ago romance with a famous Hollywood actor. Gorgeous and poignant, like daily life can be if given a chance.

While this story of childhood trauma and abuse is at times unsettling, there is abundant beauty and hope at its heart. A harrowing portrait of the healing power of love, Touch leaves you unable to forget the tangled lives of Megan and Shawn, two troubled teens in a small Missouri town.

No, You're Crazy

By Jeff Beamish,

Book cover of No, You're Crazy

What is my book about?

When sixteen-year-old Ashlee Sutton's home life falls apart, she is beset by a rare mental illness that makes her believe she's clairvoyant. While most people scoff at her, she begins demonstrating an uncanny knack for sometimes predicting the future, using what could either be pure luck or something more remarkable. And when she helps her drug-addict father win enough casino cash to accidentally overdose, she becomes the target of violent people determined to exploit her, and she goes on the run. Ashlee reaches out to a distant relative, traumatized war journalist Mike Baker. Soon, at least in Ashlee's eyes, they are both plunging dangerously into an existential rabbit hole where their core belief, that humanity and personal connections are a blight, will be put to the ultimate test. No, You're Crazy is a multilayered novel that examines the many ways a family can wound and heal us. A page-turning thriller and a sensitive look at faith and neurodiversity, it ultimately dares to ask, Who gets to decide what's real?
