pickI really enjoyed this one. The storyline flowed like the river in its title. I would describe this as a quiet, slower moving book- delightful for summer reading.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Premise: A girl in mid-1940s Pennsylvania has to grow up quickly after the arrival of a new girl in town sets off a series of events with lasting consequences for everyone.
Review: This is one of the best middle-grade novels I‘ve read. Cont.
so-soI managed to get through this book, but it was hard. I so wanted to love it based on the reviews but just didn‘t like it. On to the next one!!

pickA well written small town saga that takes place in the 1958. The town is small enough everybody knows everyone, big enough to have a lot of dark secrets. Murder mystery filled with memorable characters doing what they need to do to get by , nice layers of intrigue. Enjoyed it very much
About a third of the way through, enjoying it so far . So grateful I enjoy reading, to wind down a bit at the end of the day & shut off the crazy!

so-soNot my first WKK book and likely won't be my last but I do think editing wasn't a priority for this, and as a reader of history, and random knowledge that sticks in my head some parts of the story simply don't work for a 1958 setting. For me, that overshadowed the story and consumed my thoughts, unfortunately. This book gave me Beartown (Backman) & The Lost Man (Harper) vibes but in an American setting instead of Sweden & Australia respectively.

My favorite book of October was The River We Remember, which I read with my IRL book club.
