I liked that this book is it is about exactly what the title says, but it‘s not melancholy. (Thankful for the tagline on the cover). I thought this was pretty fun, and I liked the thread of the blog the female MC keeps and uses to ask people questions that guide her. The male MC could have been a little better developed but overall this was good. The audiobook narrator had a pleasant voice but some of her accents were overdone.

Ok ok, I know I constantly say how much I love Kirby Heyborne😂
But this makes me love him even more! He “just wants to be a part of something good”😭🥲

This is Kirby‘s show “making good” on BYU TV! You can download the app and watch for free! He goes around to different charities and volunteers, showing the world these wonderful people!

& he‘s just so darn positive. He warms my soul!💕 Anyone who needs a pick me up, embrace Kirby!

sprainedbrain One of my absolute favorite narrators, and just an awesome guy! 2y
BeeMagical @sprainedbrain Agreed! I could listen to him all day!😂 2y

🎧 This was really good! From Gorham, Maine (just two towns away from me) to Costa Rica, Thailand, New Zealand, India…an informative, unpretentious and humorous account of this family‘s six months of volunteer-based travel. Loved it, monkey bites and flies and all. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I just started volunteering at the Hillcrest Platte Thrift Store! They do fantastic work for the community. Please stop by to shop! Cleaner than most name brand stores, even better customer service, but with unbelievably low prices! They have a crazy number of books available. I admit my library has grown a great deal because of them!!!

This was surprisingly good, despite a few irritating things. The leads seem older than 16 (do 16-year-olds really wander NYC like this? No supervision at all?) and the female MC needed to TALK to her dad, but still. A solid story about living with chronic illness, while still having more to the story.

Chrissyreadit I don‘t know about today, but growing up everyone was pretty independent in NYC. We all went places by ourselves by Middle School -trains, buses, walking. I hate that my kids could not be as independent in WV and they loved the freedom when we visited NYC. 4y
ravenlee @Chrissyreadit I get that there‘s quite a bit of independence around transportation, but these kids are deciding at 9 pm to go to Times Square, there‘s no checking in with a parent, nobody knows where they are. I just can‘t imagine laissez-faire parenting to the point of neglect. Especially when one of the kids has a condition that renders him fragile. I guess kudos for not keeping him locked up at home though. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4y
Chrissyreadit Yup- in High School for sure that would not be unusual. People live in the city. It‘s totally neighborhood aside from the tourists. There are 168 high schools in Manhattan alone. Teens work, have after school activities and hang out. Manhattan is only about 13 miles long and 2 miles wide. It‘s really fun. We grew up without cell phones and took the train to the city for the day frequently. Kids take public transportation for work and school daily 4y
Chrissyreadit We homeschooled too- and belonged to a NYC homeschool even though we live in WV- had the most amazing activities there- broadway and broadway work shop, learned how to handle sails on a boat from the 1700‘s and sailed around the harbor in it for two of our favorites! 4y

I love that it‘s a major family crisis when the cousin becomes a Fox News watcher, and the family shuts it down.

Today‘s library #bookhaul actually had 2/3 for me! I saw both of these under the #librariansofLitsy tag so I figure I can call that a librarian recommendation.

Mehso-so

The description somehow feels like “The fault in our stars.“ so i was expecting a tear jerking story about 2 sick kids who fall in love but somehow need to drift apart because of their disease with more probability that one of them ends up dead.

But to my surprise this has a different outlook towards sickness and quite an unexpected happy ending.

What an awesome book. I thought it might be sappy or something but it was the opposite of that. Sasha and Ibby are really vibrant characters whose relationship is complex and sweet and who support each other through their mostly invisible illnesses. Some of their well-meaning friends or family members highlighted the typical ways that healthy people deal with sick people and how it‘s hurtful. The author really brought both MCs to life so vividly.
