Welcome to Litsy!

I really loved this book - even tho it‘s not something I‘d typically gravitate toward. Featured two distinct timelines (that related), expertly showcasing how history repeats itself. All of the characters were truthfully human and believable in their flaws. Definitely recommend!

I wasn‘t expecting to like this book as much as I did. It follows a year ( each chapter covers one month) of the Alvarado family. Oscar, the patriarch is a born & bred Angeleno of Mexican descent, who comes from a line of prosperous ranchers/farmers. Oscar understands & respects the importance of weather & all of its implications. His wife & 3 daughters take most things for granted, as each has achieved levels of success. 👇🏼

I really enjoyed this book. It‘s my second by this author and I plan to read more. It‘s a beautiful story of a grandmother, her daughter, and her granddaughter and the charms on her bracelet that have many stories for living that she wants them to know for them to use in their own lives.

I‘ve seen lots of mixed reviews but so far I‘m intrigued. I like that the mom is of Mexican Jewish decent. I have several friends here in Israel who are originally from Mexico, their relatives fled from Eastern Europe before & during WWII and settled in Mexico. #Pop22 #LatinxAuthor #Booked2022 #AboutSisters

@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Thank you so much for this lovely gift! I can‘t wait to read this book, the lovely bath salts (am I right this is for the bath?), note cards, candy and hot chocolate! But the little reader‘s journal….Ha….we sell these in the hospital gift shop! I had bought a few for swaps and gifts but not for me so thank you! You are so sweet and kind. Thank you for your friendship. 😘

This is an entertaining MG story with all the ups and downs of middle school, kitten siblings, a taxidermied opossum and a walnut tree. Definite Flipped vibes (although they aren‘t exactly the same) with this one. Also a good story about making friends, moving and settling into a new place, family and history.
