so-soI am clearly in the minority here but I can‘t say that I left the listening of this audiobook having enjoyed the experience. I‘ve read plenty of books that are devastating but, for one reason or another, the overall experience was cathartic or satisfying. I felt none of that here. It starts off devastating, continues devastating, and ends just the same way. I don‘t particularly find any of the characters compelling and was really aggravated ⬇️
pickIn this Parent Trap story, twins Aviva and Holly grow up unaware of each other until they happen to meet at their grandparents retirement home! They decide to secretly switch places, one to celebrate Christmas for the first time, the other Hanukkah. Very cute and heartwarming for the holidays! 🕎

Enjoy!
pickThis book is just one punch to the gut after another. I've never read Lamb before and I wasn't sure if he was for me but I think I may have to dive into his back list at some point. This was so raw and heavy - and while it did drag in a few places, ultimately, I just couldn't stay away.
pickA dystopian world, where alpha&omega twins are interconnected despite their social& physical differences. Cass and Zach are twins who were linked together longer than most, but her Seer powers finally reveal itself and she‘s cast away. As Zach moves up the council ranks, she becomes repressed further away in the Keeping Rooms& discovers the tanks. She breaks away with Kip to the Omega escape at the island, which is eventually found by the Alphas.
pickThe championship soccer game is coming up against Big Mesa, but co-captain Aaron Dallas‘ temper may mean he‘s off team! Lately, he‘s off the handle at the slightest provocation & now that he starts hitting, Liz can‘t help but report the facts…but Jeffrey‘s loyally standing by his friend, knowing he‘s lashing out because of his family‘s situation. Aaron‘s girlfriend, Heather, uses baby talk to calm him & Liz mocks her. Jess becomes a Tofu-Glo Girl!
pickA Christmas time reread - even though I remembered how the puzzle pieces went together, I really enjoyed revisiting.
