Heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. A story of parallel lives after tragedy and how grief pulls at a person.

I have been going through book stacks, bins, etc. & found my long long lost Nook! After I charged it, it‘s working. Apparently I had started this cozy mystery, so I decided to start from chapter 1 & read it. It was published in 2015- could it been ten years since I used this?!😂😂😂

There is a *whole lot* going on in this one - honestly, probably too much and it could've been more tightly edited. That said, I found it to be a pretty compelling read, that I mostly enjoyed.

This book had a lot of potential and started out super promising… however, the amount of tangents it went on was a little too much… definitely a soft pick for me!

Have you read this book yet? It‘s been on my list since it came out and I finally read it this weekend. It‘s so sad and happy all at the same time.

Summer reading book haul! 🤗📚

I found this book compelling and readable full of flawed, but relatable characters. OK, there‘s one character who I think is supposed to be sympathetic but I absolutely couldn‘t stand her. A lot of misery in this story, but you know from the beginning how it‘s going to end and the book is about how everything gets there.

If, like me, your reading style started out as Babysitters Club and morphed into historical fiction, this middle grade series is for you. This seems to be a sleeper by Ann M Martin, of Babysitters Club fame. Following a family tree from the depression, Kennedy‘s assassination, on through 9/11, Martin tackles tough family topics such as mental illness, disability, and alcoholism in a straightforward but gentle way.
