Welcome to Litsy!

Twisty turny mystery.

I‘ve been a Jojo Moyes fan since Me Before You. She is great at writing characters & stories that are very true to life & relatable. Loved Lila & her highly dysfunctional hilarious family. Excellent narrator. 4⭐️

Just in, InterLibrary Loan JoCoKS, very excited about checking off another PE. Somebody almost famous said this was their favorite. Hope I am smart enough 😳 “… an answer—and an antidote— to not only what ails the Academy, but what ails a society without the self-knowledge to satirize itself.” (-Carol Muske-Dukes)

I had this one in my holds for a long time and kept passing it over. So glad I finally got to it. Very good- heartbreaking in some ways infuriating in others.

Not a story for the ages, but def a story my age. Lila is 42 and her life is chaos. I don‘t have her issues, but can relate to some of how she feels. Beautiful character development about people who make mistakes and learn how to work through them. Book #28 in 2025

Just bobbing around from park to park with my still-delightful book (which also takes a serious look at marital difficulties, in amongst all the fun bits). The Jardin Botanique de France was especially nice.

I absolutely bought this beer because of Jean Cocteau, and it‘s actually delightful. Yay! So is this madcap murder mystery from Alexis Hall. It‘s jam packed with references and oh, how I‘ve GIGGLED at it so far. Gonna read another big chunk while I finish the beer.

I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of reading this without knowing more about the plot than the description, as it allowed me to immerse myself in the lives of these wonderful characters and follow their journeys. The narrative is heartfelt and filled with lovable characters. The conclusion of the story left me feeling peaceful for the characters, but also sad as I bid them farewell.

Overall 4.5 stars! I really enjoyed Lila and her extended & blended family. There were a few cliches thrown in so that detracted from a 5 star rating. I thought the grandads were the best & am glad characters grew the way they needed to. I really enjoy Moyes‘ writing! The narrator did a fantastic job!
