Welcome to Litsy!

I felt this book dragged on and was anticlimactic. There are TONS of references to plays, music, and books that I do not know. Which made me feel less connected to the story. The author excessively describes the scene rather than stating the sequence of events. Sometimes it took me two pages to realize what was happening in the new scene. I don‘t think I‘ll pick up another Rowley unless it comes highly recommended by a friend.

This book had me giggling, full out laughing, and even crying at times. You'll fall in love first with the relationship between James and Mrs. Onassis, but you'll stick with the book as Jackie guides James in healing his relationship with his mother. There are shocks around every corner, but the surprises are so overwhelmingly human.

Public service announcement- Steven Rowley (author of Lilly & the Octopus) has a new book out. Here‘s his book signing dates in the US. He‘s a pretty cool guy😊

Everything I had hoped for. Touching, funny, thought-provoking... all the feels.

“If you ever feel lost, just take a right.” Loving this book.

Excited about today's #bookmail from Columbia University Press and Putnam Books! 🥰 📚 Steven Rowley had me ugly-crying with his incredible first book, so I'm going to jump into this one prepared... with a box of tissues...and probably chocolate. 😂
