#YoungAdult

After the events of We Were Liars, one of the adults shares a secret story from her past.

I kept going back & forth while reading this, trying to decide whether it added meaningfully to WWL or perhaps took away from it. (In making explicit something that could be read as ambiguous.) In the end, though I think it was too much of a retread of the first book, it had enough to say to make it a pick. It didn't touch my heart in the same way.

Stories keep the world intact. Storytelling predates the written word by about 3000 years. Fairytales specifically have always protested against societal constraints and commented on the human condition. Fairytales offer whimsy and truth. The whimsy makes us brave, and the truth points us in the right direction. I use fairytales from around the world because they remind me of hope and they show that no one is immune to sorrow.

Ok, now I get what the excitement is about! It is epic to see a book I know mentioned within the storyline of another book 📚💝.

I haven't read Elatsoe yet, but have book one and two on my bookshelf (waiting for me).

Historical fiction of Anne Frank‘s life in Amsterdam to the day they went into hiding. Short and great on audio I was near tears many times. It is impossible not to recognize the parallels from the dehumanizing of Jews at the hands of the Nazi regime to what is happening today in the US at the hands of our current administration.

The first #SweetValleyHighSuperEdition makes for a fun summer adventure with a group biking the CA coast! Mr. Collins & Ms. Dalton chaperone, but have recently broken up— with, to Lila‘s horror, Nora back with her father. An LA stop adds wannabe delinquent Courtney to the group— a girl with a plan that hinges on breaking up Todd & Liz to get home to her mohawked love. Funny with pranks & plenty of adventure, even the principal‘s nephew is a hero!

LMJenkins Why do the “high schoolers” on the cover look like they‘re 30? 😂 8h
TorieStorieS @LMJenkins I know! I‘m not sure if it‘s just because the models were that much older or if the styles really made that much of a difference— but I feel like some of these “high schoolers” look like they should be the tenured teachers!! 🤣 7h
