pickA coming-of-age story about first love, family, and finding yourself.
Jeremy‘s figuring things out—his sexuality, his relationship with his newly-divorced dad, and whether Evan, the boy he meets on the Oregon Coast, might like him back. As they bond over birdwatching, they create a secret code—part game, part shield. Quietly powerful, this YA story hits hard and feels real.
I‘m late making my #DeweysReadathon post (it started 9 hours ago), but I thought I‘d post my stack of next-up reads while taking a little break. I also have The Wedding People and Martyr! on Kindle. The tagged book is Banned in my state (along with 16 others!) so that one is a priority. 😠

pickLovely story about teenage love. Great plot with characters to die for. Pacing was a touch slow but the story was so good I easily overlooked it. 4🌟

pickI read this years ago & absolutely loved it. This time I listened to the audiobook & loved it just as much. The story, characters and narration were all superb.

pick#LittensLoveRomance A sad ending? but also one filled with hope. What do we think the three words were on the postcard? I think she finally said I love you - I think she needed time to heal and is finally ready to let him know what their connection meant to her. I wonder where her mom and siblings went. Obviously away from Ritchie and that‘s the important thing. ⬇️
#LittensLoveRomance Ch.50-53: In a nice twist, Park‘s father - who really is a decent guy - gives him permission to drive Eleanor to her uncle‘s. I only hope her uncle takes her in. Poor Eleanor doesn‘t have any other options. I felt bad that she had to make the decision to leave her siblings. But in the end, she‘s right in that they would have been doomed from the start if she tried to take them. We‘ll finish with the final few chapters tomorrow.
#LittensLoveRomance Ch.45-49: ugh so scary. Eleanor‘s step dad is a predator and he needs to be stopped. I really hope she can get away from him and make it ok on her own. Props to Tina for helping her - of all people. That was surprising but in a good way. Kids need to stick up for each other. Now comes the goodbye 💔
#LittensLoveRomance Sorry for the missed post. I fell asleep early last night due to a cold. Ch.41-44: even as Eleanor and Park grow closer physically, we know they‘re on borrowed time. I feel like with her mom cornering her and talking about boys, she knows more than she is letting on. If every kid in their neighborhood knows, I‘m sure some adults do too. Someone could have mentioned it. Which is dangerous for Eleanor. ⬇️
