We All Live Here | Jojo Moyes

I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I didn‘t want it to end and I was certainly immersed in this family‘s world. It‘s character rather than plot driven. I found it quite relatable, totally engaging and humorous. I even liked Gene, the errant father, by the end of the book. He endeared himself! 🙂

A good, sink-into, partially estranged family story. I really liked the characters, the pacing, the writing. I will definitely be reading more this author.

This book brought me peace as the characters struggled to find their own. I needed that. Olivia gives advice over the radio. A caller tells her she needs to look into her own marriage and then her personal life falls apart with her breaking down in the middle of her show. She invites 4 with broken hearts to join her on what was to be her anniversary vacation and they help each other heal.

A library book. It needs to be back by 7 April as there are 45 people behind me on the reservation list, so I better get a move on! I do enjoy Jojo Moyes‘ books.

KA‘s first rom-com, and it‘s great! Daphne‘s a rugged outdoorswoman trying to get her novel published, and Chris becomes the face of her pseudonym. What could go wrong? I loved it.

This book had a lot going on! I felt it dragged at times, but overall was engaged in the story. It was very anxiety provoking at times bc of the type of relationship 1 of the narrators is in. It‘s a heavy read @ times & lighter @ others. As Evie tries 2 get her memory back more plot lines r introduced. I was satisfied w/ how the story came together. I really cared about Evie & Drew as characters. I‘d be intrigued to read the author‘s other work.

I‘m not entirely sure how I can have closure without being content. But that‘s this book. I know everything I want to, ends are tied but why do I want more? More ends tied, more knowledge. But I like how this book played out and the characters. And I do like they got closure. I still want more.

TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea I learned that year 1!! Also, windbreaker/rain gear always in the car along with a hat, scarf, and gloves. I used to joke that every outing was like packing for an overnight stay; now it's just normal 😁 2w

How We Fall Apart | Katie Zhao

Nancy Luo's former BF, Jamie Ruan, queen of Sinclair Prep, goes missing & is then found dead. Word quickly spreads that their friend group (Nancy, Krystal, Akil, & Alexander) are considered the prime suspects in Jamie's death thanks to anonymous social media messages by someone calling themselves 'the Proctor'.

'The Proctor' somehow knows the group's darkest secrets & threatens to tell all unless the guilty party admits they killed Jamie.

OutsmartYourShelf The four friends race to find the true killer before they lose everything they've worked for.

I will say, right off the bat, that I am older than the intended target range so bear that in mind for my review. This was OK, the storyline itself was good, & I liked the setting in amongst the rich & privileged of Sinclair Prep School, but personally I thought that the characters, apart from Nancy, weren't particularly well developed.

OutsmartYourShelf The ending wasn't great either & there was a lot of loose ends left unanswered - possibly a sequel? Still no sign of one as far as I can tell but you never know. 3.5🌟

TWs: toxic friendships, adult/minor relationship, suicidal thoughts, drug use, alcohol use.
