pickRun for the Hills, by Kevin Wilson (2025)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Premise: Very different people become an unlikely family discover they share the same father and embark on a cross-country road trip to find him and ask why he abandoned them all to forge very different lives for himself.
Review: Wilson is the king of profound but off-kilter fiction, and this is no exception. Cont.
pickSuch a good book and a wonderful read.

Enjoy!
pickA captivating story that shows the reality of show business through one young actress' experience and early retirement. And her beautiful and ordinary family life that follows, told to her adult daughters during the Covid-19 Pandemic. The audiobook, performed by Meryl Streep was a masterpiece.
pickA low pick mostly from the unbelievable standpoint of some of the story. I just don't buy the idea of party planners being these media darlings, it was all a bit much. I also HATE that Braylon comes back from 4 yrs in London with an accent (I tried the audio of this and couldn't do it) and the competition. BUT even with all that I enjoyed the bones of this second chance + fake dating romance. Denz is a believable and sympathetic character. 👇
pickAfter getting fired Jasmine has one year of gardening leave to figure out her life among other things. Matt, her neighbour is in kind of a similar situation and decides to come home drunk every night. They strike a unique friendship all this while which helps them move ahead in their lives.
Feel-good, quick paced, simple characters, and a sweet story overall. The cover is just really cute and was the reason I picked the book
4/5🌟

Unhinged rom-com thought
Do NOT reward a person who went on a couple years exchanged to a foreign country and came back with an accent by sleeping with them.
😂
This plot point is the most randomly annoying 🤣
Tackle the TBR 🤓📚

so-soThis reminded me of “The Moon and More, which is my least favorite Sarah Dessen book. I loved the humor and dynamic with Cricket's family, but I didn't like the love triangle and drama. Unfortunately I was correct at guessing part of the ending and sobbed, of course. And I didn't like after all the drama with the love interests, there wasn't any resolution in the ending.
Bookish Pair: My favourite Kevin Wilson book is Now Is Not the Time to Panic (2022) 12h
