I‘m so happy to be reading this book by Pat Conroy, one of my favorite authors. He really was not afraid to put things in his book that were in his mind - even if they would arouse a major reaction.

I was so excited to receive this book as a donation for my #LittleFreeLibrary. It was one of the books highest on my wishlist because I was and still am a big fan of Pat Conroy‘s works. Most of his writing, including his novels, was based on his life experiences. This book highlights the author‘s rocky relationship with his dad over the years. As always, Conroy‘s writing is a pleasure to read.

Almost more interesting than the first book.

I love the way Yarros weaves bits into a story that are so subtle. When you finally see the whole tapestry what a beautiful sight it is.

April Book 14/25 #LitsyLove

This was a page turner, very artfully done and sensitively written. Biank made the women she wrote about come alive. Be warned that it is definitely a tearjerker.

Two American military wives forge a friendship within the military community in Jordan. They take precautions, as they are unfamiliar with the language and culture. The more adventurous and less-cautious of the two goes missing. Clues left behind in her journal reveal what led to her disappearance. The book switches between the past (journal) and the present, which works. The descriptions of historical sites like Petra leave me wishing to visit!

2019 was a great reading year. Of the 243 books I read, 42 were rated 5-stars by me.

The oldest selection on my TBR list - Originally added April 17, 2017.

This is a very touching story about the friendship of two women. Both of their husbands are in the military and have been stationed at the embassy in Jordan. The woman could not be any different about how they handle living in an area that could become volatile at the drop of a hat. I really enjoyed her first book, You Know When the Men are Gone. Consider me a fan.

Kept trying to read the library print version last summer & finally got 'er done with the e-book version. A pick for the writing & detailed glimpse of military wives & expats in Jordan & a story that kept me intrigued & reading despite an intense dislike for one of the MC.s. Skillfully told through the thoughts of one character reading the journal of the other & ruminating on their shared experiences. Still not sure how I feel about the ending.
