This novella was on a book list of books that feel like a hug and part of a big library hold list I registered. I usually feel like November is a tough slog, between the time change and weather it kind of sucks the joy out of you. This is a bittersweet book about dementia, generations of family, and love.

Playing catch-up with reviews….

I really liked this novel, which did feel rather like a memoir at times, and it feels even more relevant now after the events of last week, being about undocumented migrants.

At times it was a little bit too ‘stream of consciousness‘ for me and I struggled to understand the relevance or tangent of Catalina‘s thoughts but, overall, a hard-hitting worthwhile read.

Thank you for gifting it to me @MicheleinPhilly 😘

My Grandma made this crab meat dip for every family holiday dinner. Each one of my kids as well as my dad, my brother and even me have made ourselves sick eating too much of it. Last year after my mom died my brother couldn‘t find the recipe. I had it as written on the green paper by one of my sons several years ago. I translated it to the white paper for family sharing. #LitsyLoveBingo

I could see a middle schooler or even a 4th or 5th graders really loving this books. I think it is a great chapter book where you can really relate to what is happening and it creates a bond with the character. Defiantly a good free choice book and maybe a read aloud.
