pickThis was almost a DNF. But, when I got surprised by who Katy runs into in Positano the story really took off for me. The ending was a little disappointing because I would've liked some kind of explanation. Overall, it was good story to get lost in.

pickI always thought Michael Schiavo was a bit of a scheve, and a piece of shit right up to the end. But I never thought he had anything to do with Terri's collapse. I think differently now.
Overall, it was an interesting read that I'm glad I came across at a library book sale last year.

pickSuch a compelling and emotional read of loss and grief. The ending, however, was too drawn out and repetitive.
It made zero difference that I haven't read Firefly Lane, which I didn't know was book 1.

panLast few Star Wars books have been the same damn plot--kidnap, rescue, lots of close calls. It's been like reading a season of The A-Team.

so-soVery similar to their other collection: My Nest Isn't Empty...
Cute, and lighthearted, but I felt like I'd already read it.

pickAn angsty and sweet love story. And can I just say, both sets of parents are parenting goals!

so-soNot my favorite of her memoirs. As it is a memoir of her family tribe there was just so much going on with all the various family members that the writing felt choppy. I did very much love the tribe living though; and if I could, I too would have my whole family within a six block radius.
