pickThis story was so relatable to me. Like Jess, I'm a lawyer in my early 40s. We even have the same maiden name! And though my issue wasn't necessarily infertility, my husband and I wanted kids but it didn't happen for us for other reasons, and we both had to process that and grieve the what could have beens in our own way and time, and that puts a strain on a marriage. Keane writes beautiful novels with such realistically flawed characters.
pickJust finished this. Almost a so so. I had to speed read towards the end. I enjoyed the writing. The story line was ok.
Certainly not as enjoyable as Our Souls At Night. I would have liked to have met the author Kent. I think he might have been a very gentle kind man. His stories certainly come across as gentle and thoughtful.
pickLucian's mindset remains hilarious to me. From "I hate her" to "We're going to get married" in nothing flat. ? Swooniest of all swoons and great wrap-ups for all! #reread #romcom #contemporaryromance
I haven‘t been able to spend a lot of time on this book but I am really enjoying it and the series.
Sipping a spicy mocha at a local coffee shop and spot a short story dispenser. ? I made my touchless selection (the future!) and 10 minutes later I have a copy of "All the Animals are Waiting for You" by Jane McCafferty.
Technically, I requested an international story but received something from a CMU faculty member instead. All is forgiven though. I am just tickled to have this unexpected encounter with a short story dispenser. ?
pickTo have so much history and yet so many things never aired out. I really enjoyed watching their journey unfold into something strong and beautiful.
pickI really liked this. Have to admit, though, there was more than once where I said to myself – call the police! Don‘t do these things yourself (and that includes “talking to” Frank – he‘s not a cop, anymore!). This was the 2nd book in a series, but to be honest, I remember next to nothing of the first book, so I would say you don‘t need to read the first one first
so-soI enjoyed this. 3⭐
It was a bit too angelic, though I do understand that was in purpose, as we follow sweet virginal Annie who has a swear jar for her siblings and owns a small town flower shop, bad boy Will is brought in to coach her on dating. As with most of these it was so predictable I was often speaking lines before they were read, but I understand some readers like that in these, I just wanted a bit more. Good fluff though.
The letter had been sent by a dead man...
