I'm left touched and heartbroken. Carol Rifka Brunt's novel acknowledges the truths of family and love. Beautifully written and honest. I highly recommend this read. #realisticfiction #carolrifkabrunt #lgbt #januaryreads

Weekend morning reads. I was scouring my shelf for something to draw me in and hit gold with this one.
Originally from one of my summer Vermont book hauls but been waiting for the time to sit down with it 🌞

Though expecting a Rowling stunner as her other books suggest, I struggled to get into this novel. I found the characters interesting though not very likable, and the text rather long-winded. To Rowling's credit, she did not hold back in going for an honest and diverse depiction of human nature and small-town life. The convergence and subtlety of the ending was very well done. Something to relate to or learn in here for all. Worth the read! #tw

Been staying away from the chilly wind all afternoon. The Pagford drama continues! 🏘

Slowly working through this hefty book I started in December so I can get started on my 2017 reading goals 👀
