Sample Saturday is when I wade through the eleventy billion samples I have downloaded on my Kindle. I’m slowly chipping away and deciding whether it’s buy or bye. This week, all are new releases that have caught my eye.
Girls by Kirsty Capes
Summary: Girls follows the story of two sisters – Mattie and Nora – and the thorny relationship with their famous late mother, brilliant yet deeply troubled artist Ingrid Olsen. As they embark on an all-or-nothing road trip across the US to preserve Ingrid’s legacy, they start to unpick the scars of the past.
I’m thinking: Yes.
The Adult by Bronwyn Fischer
Summary: Natalie has just arrived at her first year of university in Toronto, leaving her remote hometown for the city. Everyone she meets seems to know exactly who they are. As Natalie is trying to find her footing, she meets Nora, an older woman who takes an unexpected interest in her. She begins spending more of her time off-campus at Nora’s perfect home but it soon becomes clear that Nora is hiding something.
I’m thinking: Yes.
The Days I Loved You Most by Amy Neff
Summary: In the summer of 1941, Evelyn and Joseph fell in love. Now, more than sixty years later, they have gathered their three children to share staggering news: she has received a tragic diagnosis, and he cannot live without her. So in one year’s time, they will end their lives on their own terms. But as their final days draw closer, they must confront the stark reality of what they are about to do.
I’m thinking: No (fascinated by the concept but it’s a style thing).

Im drawn to The Adult – it has some of the vibes of Notes on a Scandal maybe?
Definite ‘yes’ to Girls and The Adult from me, too.
