so-soThis feels like reading fanfic, for the very good reason that it was. The serial numbers have been filed off, but the overall feel is very much still there. That's not a criticism per se, just a fact.
There is some fun dialogue, some fun scenes, but oh my goodness they're both unbearable and the romantic scenes are pure (and awful) purple prose. I enjoyed myself but also had SO many objections.
But hey, this was my #BookSpin.
pickThis is a quiet, internal story, with abuse, abandonment, and unanswered questions at its heart. Julia—pregnant at 41—returns to her hometown after 23 years away. She‘s searching for answers & some measure of resolution about her past. I appreciated the nuance with which Hegi paints her characters—acknowledging both the repercussions of abuse & abandonment, and the unreliability of memory—as Julia struggles to reconcile the past & move forward.⤵️

A little late and very boring, but it works for me.
pickI finished it on the banks of the Kern River after coming through the Sequoia Monument and National Forest. I didn‘t like it as much as The Boy in a Suitcase, which was such a twisty ride. But I loved the window into Roma culture in Hungary, the discrimination and challenges they have long faced. And the window into the immigrant backlash in Scandinavia. Will read the whole series!
Hello, November! Already thankful for the cooler weather that has finally settled in. Cheers to cozy reading season. #bookspin

pickThis was such a cute fall romance!
So many people have read this book, so when I saw it TJ Maxx (for a great price) I knew it was time to give it a shot. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
This book was loaded with fall vibes! It gave me all the autumn feels while reading it.
The romance was super sweet but basic.
