Welcome to Litsy!

This was such a fun romance set in NYC!

This was my first book by Alex Aster, so going into it I had no set expectations. I was pleasantly impressed!

Immediately, I was drawn in by the author‘s writing style. It was easy, effortless, and genuinely funny.

As for the two main characters, Elle and Parker, I liked Parker way more than I liked Elle.

Starting a book found at a thrift store. Looks interesting to me about New Yotk City life.

A novel reflecting on teenage years of two adults who grew up in NYC. Sometimes funny and other times sad, the kids while attending a Quaker School are trying to decide who they are sexually. The imagination runs a bit wild. No matter where you identify yourself sexually, or where you grew up, this novel had me recalling my memories during my teenage years. I gave this a solid 4.5/5⭐️

I loved the back and forth perspective/years. And the plot! Well done!

I can‘t seem to settle on my next book so I‘m going to see if a mystery will draw me in enough to stick with it.

Well, what to say... Intriguing and cringey as you watch her choices and decisions that she justifies so easily.
Interesting perspective on race and class, economics and society and what we each perceive as entitlement. Very different in approach and extremely readable!

I really wanted to love this book, but for whatever reason it didn‘t strike a cord with me. Maybe I‘m not in the right frame of mind. But it looks like I borrowed this book from the library once before and returned it. And I‘m doing that again. If you read this and you love the book, that‘s fabulous.

This last in this series does not disappoint.Midwife Sarah Malloy & her PI husband Frank, investigate the death of a young woman who is determined to publish an expose on patent remedies( containing mostly alcohol & other addictive drugs).The victim‘s father asks couple to find justice for his daughter.Historic details such as the difference between various carriages & the introduction of the electric car add authenticity to the story.Partaking 🔽

Tried to read while Fenrir got a little stroll outside of his table ... didn't work. The little goober still won't stop only going places he shouldn't and trying to eat things that are clearly not food ... plus he got stuck under a chair. Oh well, I still love him, and at least he's cute
