pickThis was just a lot of fun. I liked how the friendship developed between Fi and Shane and all their adventures. I wasn‘t totally convinced by the romances (very insta-love) and the twist on the Sleeping Beauty story. But overall, I enjoyed it and will consider getting around to the sequel at some point.
pickWhat a lovely story. And very unique, despite its homage to The Secret Garden, and not just in place and character. Positioned with teens rather than children opens the door for romance, and Mary and Sophie are so sweet as they discover first love. Despite the horror and pain of the Craven storyline (no spoilers!) this book is largely a pretty picture of Ontario‘s North, with beautiful gardens, of course. I liked it quite a bit more than expected!
pickAugust was relatable and I loved her character arc. She was first introvert without friends but ended up living with her found family. I also loved secondary characters.
I was a bit surprised when I noticed how this could be a sci-fi book but I think I just enjoyed this more like this. I love mysteries.
This was pretty predictable first but I have to say I was curious about the ending.
I enjoyed this more than I had expected.
One of my favorite memories of my grandma is when my cousin & I convinced her to watch this with us & she was so disgusted by the implied cannibalism. 😆 She was the best. (So is Sipsy!)
Secret‘s in the sauce —
that‘s what they say; I‘d ask Frank
but he‘s M-I-A.

For @dabbe ! Fried Green Tomatoes is one of my all time favorite movies (and books!). Did a rewatch the other day & this part, where Evelyn loses it in the parking lot, is still my favorite (followed closely by the food fight!). We could all take a cue from Towanda.
Hands firmly grasping
the wheel, pedal to metal,
Towanda erupts.
