Duped: Double Lives, False Identities, and the Con Man I Almost Married by Abby Ellin
For full disclosure (which feels extra important when discussing a book about deception) I did not finish this book. I made it to the halfway point and realized that the structure of the book wasn’t working for me, and I didn’t want to pick it back up. So, I didn’t. Now, with that in mind, … [Read more]

The main character Mike is a bit of a ne’er-do-well. He flits from job to job and does well with the ladies. He comes upon a dilapidated … [Read more]
Raising Hare by Chloe Dalton
I saw Raising Hare (2025) on so many different lists at the end of the year, but I was a little resistant. All I knew was that a woman raised a baby hare and wrote a book about it. I love animals, so you'd think I'd jump at a chance to read more about them. However, I'm not a big fan of turning wild … [Read more]
