⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
This was the perfect book to kick off summer reading! All of the island friendships and romances were spot on for this beachy setting🏝️

So I looked at the solutions to the clues on Reddit (generally someone has them there by the third ones) and was on the fence about Original Daughter. Of course I got it! 😂😂 Four from #botm plus three from #aardvark plus whatever I buy at Parnassus today. (I already have three staff picks I like.) 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😂 I‘ve lost my mind in the best possible way!!!!

BarbaraBB That sounds fabulous. Lose yourself in that book buying, you deserve it 🧡 1mo

5⭐️ I loved this gem of a novel. Three stories woven together and I can‘t decide which I liked more. Part mystery, part character development and part coming of age(s). I could feel the cold air on my skin and smell the lake. 🇨🇦

Jennie‘s Boy, by Wayne Johnston (2023 🇨🇦)

Premise: A memoir of the author‘s childhood living with chronic illness in an impoverished Newfoundland community.

Review: This is close to being a perfect memoir: full of humour, insight, and vulnerability. It does a fantastic job of showing the reader the insecurity of growing up in illness, poverty, and as the child of an alcoholic, but also the power of familial love.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Current read. A book you dive into despite the author‘s restraints. Mary Lawson tells good stories without embellishment. She relies on great characters and a compelling plot leaving the reading to infer bits here and there. IOW she assumes her readers are smart which is always a joy. #canadianwriter 🇨🇦 #canadianlitsy

Mehso-so

Not nearly as wonderful as Johnston‘s fiction. This was a bit of a slog honestly, and I don‘t have high hopes for it on #CanadaReads. I think it‘ll be voted off first or second.

Blueberry This is the only one of the shortlist that I have been unable to get. 3mo

merelybookish @ShelleyBooksie You're the second person whose told me that! 3mo
merelybookish @TheLudicReader Maybe "classic" is a bit strong! But some people do remember it with fondness! 3mo
