Alas, this one wasn't for me. My 2 Cents for Free! Make Me Better by Sarah Gailey Released May 2026 Source: Netgalley See more @ Goodreads I have one more Netgalley audio to finish and then I think I have to call it quits on any and all ARC’s for a long while, if not forever. If it weren’t for the fact that I was reading this book for a Netgalley review, I would’ve definitely dnf’d it because finishing it felt like a chore. I’ve read Gailey’s books Just Like Home and Spread Me and enjoyed them but this one was a drag. It is a story about a woman named Celia who chooses to deal with her grief by escaping to a festival/retreat that claims it will change her life. And it does, so I guess, good for her!

Things happen pretty quickly and the atmosphere and slight claustrophobia set in right away as a small group of researchers break protocol and bring back a specimen to their living space that they find buried deep within the desert sand. The specimen makes almost everyone sick but they get over it soon enough. Or so they think! No one is prepared for what happens next. This crew is very open to romantic entanglements and partner swapping but Kinsey has always been uninterested and professional and keeps herself to herself. She’s also hiding a ...

A mini-review of a very weird and excellent book. Just Like Home by Sarah Gailey  Released July 2022 Source: Library Borrow Goodreads  | Amazon “Come home.” Vera’s mother called and Vera obeyed. In spite of their long estrangement, in spite of the memories -- she's come back to the home of a serial killer. Back to face the love she had for her father and the bodies he buried there.
