pickA reread for me, but just as entertaining as the first time. A lot of the story hit differently since I‘m a mom now. So much of the story is about the sacrifices and grief that you face as a parent in different stages. Also the challenges and comforts of marriage. This was the 1st Moriaty book I read and after that I was hooked.
bailedHe sent a text to his three best friends (who were in a car together), and because the driver replied, they crashed. And people blame him for it. That‘s what this book is about. Really. No thank you!
pickHorrible subject matter! It‘s the aftermath of survivors of school shooting. But a brilliant perspective and written an interesting mix letters and essays from varying perspectives of the same event.
pickThis book sat on my shelf for years, and my first attempt at reading it went nowhere. McEwan‘s writing style isn‘t easy for me—long chapters with little straightforward narrative made it a challenge.
The story is powerful, centered on the lifelong weight of guilt and the pursuit of forgiveness that may never truly be achieved. While the writing style wasn‘t my favorite, the content itself was enlightening and left me with a lot to think about.
so-so51/100
Have fallen so far behind my Goodreads challenge that at this point I‘m considering counting menus and cereal boxes.
pickA good middle grade book with a male protagonist who struggles with a dilemma most kids deal with on a regular basis. Should he do the right thing and risk losing his friends?
