On the whole I really enjoyed this family mystery (and much more besides). There were great elements and I was largely kept guessing in a good way. I really enjoyed the thoughtful exploration of language, race and happiness. Only complaints were it felt long with some points overly laboured, particularly the science-y bits. It was a great one to discuss in our book group. Will definitely read more from this author and just bought Miracle Creek.
bailedBailing at about 120 pages.... I may return when my mood is lighter but I'm not reading much this week because I don't want to read this right now.

pickAn entertaining audiobook with great narrators. It‘s a simplistic/mundane writing style, but I didn‘t notice it in the audiobook format.
The characters are not smart and get themselves into all sorts of trouble. But I was engaged and needed to know the truth. I didn‘t love that the ending happened so quickly. When we do find the truth, there are questions remaining since we skip to six months later. But it‘s a fun fall read for back to school.

Novel in verse.

It has great commentary about the dangers of social media and being an influencer especially where children are concerned. But…it took so long to go anywhere, and once it did, I wasn‘t satisfied with where it went ultimately.
All the narrators gave good performances although most of the story is just a couple of them.
