Ella of All-of-a-Kind Family | 
so-soA departure in narrative technique, this story attempts to keep up with the whole family while privileging Ella‘s perspective. Unfortunately, it fails on both counts. The shift from third-person omniscient to third-person privileged is jumpy and inconsistent. Storylines go nowhere and we stagnate in will-she-or-won‘t-she about Ella‘s career in vaudeville (and what about Jules?). A disappointing end to a beloved series. #BookSpin #SeriesRead2022

TheAromaofBooks I haven't read these books since I was little - they are definitely on my reread list! Always sad when a series seems to sort of trail off instead of ending on a strong note. 3y
