pickI‘m a longtime fan of Chamberlain‘s— though since discovering her novels over a decade ago, I‘ve tried to ration out her backlog! It‘s hard to believe this one is 23 years old— other than some technology, it has a surprisingly current feel. When Janine‘s daughter doesn‘t make it home from the Brownie camping trip that already deepened the wedge between her and her parents and ex, she‘s determined to bring her home. Gripping, though predictable.
pickGood on audible. I wasn‘t a fan of how end of life care was handled. It‘s a delicate subject but one that should be discussed, particularly with loved ones. Too often the person who is suffering and dying‘s wishes aren‘t heard because it‘s too hard for the family. I wish it was handled in a different manner but it is basically a light read so I‘ll give it a pass.
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

I love Faith Gardner‘s Jolvix Episodes which is an adult thriller series…so I thought I‘d give one of her YA books a try since it was free. The author painted a bleak picture of a family broken by the tragedy of their missing daughter/sister really well but the pacing tended to get bogged down and it left me not wanting to pick this book back up. And the ending…I don‘t know, I think I wanted a little something more.
pickI like her using different perspectives to tell the story.
