pickHighly recommend!!! Absolutely fantastic!! One warning: protagonist and another prominent character are unapologetically atheist. The author herself is not a believer; refers to herself as a humanist. If character casually “disproving” God a handful of brief times would bother you, you may not enjoy.
Wasn‘t sure what to expect. About 2/3 through and really like it. Soccer games and behind the scenes, politics, family, activism, dating… are all threaded together. She has long been one of my favorite players. I have no idea how I missed when this came out! Audiobook so I could hear her words in her voice. 👍
pickThe photos were my favorite part.
so-soEhhh. Extremely simplistic writing. Characters weren‘t well developed, even mildly irritating in their one dimensionality. The thriller elements were sort of scotch taped together and didn‘t always even make sense. I love Dolly, so I finished. All the song writing was phenomenal. The rest was barely tolerable. Sorry to say!!
pickNot my favorite, but I read them all anyway. :)
pickI wished for a different ending, but the ending is perfect.
pickI preferred the one before, but this is still excellent. Long live Beartown!
pickBeyond a doubt one of my favorite novels I have ever read. All the stars. Ended the last page, eyes a little welled, nose a little runny, heart very full. ❤️ Put this on your TBR.
pickSo good. I know the ending wasn‘t a twist, but this book was very good from beginning to end. Didn‘t love the Stuart plot line, but still. ❤️
pickI love this series plain and simple! :) Reading is my favorite thing to do on a snow day!

Last page of “again, again.” I didn‘t know!! Dropping 5/3/22. I can‘t wait!!
pickI‘m not a huge fan of multi-verse stories in general, so I‘m not opining on that part. All the rest was deep, very deep, and well done.
pickRead 1-2 over past 24 hrs. Loved loved loved. Needs to be a tv show. Loved loved loved. ❤️
pickFinally got to this one!
pickFirst one of 2022 fini! Very good. Mary Kubica is consistently good.
HUGEST CONGRATS TO YOU GUYS FOR YOUR INCREDIBLE READING STATS!!!! I saw three friends who'd read over 200 books this year! WOWZA! I bow at your feet. :) Happy New Year, everyone! xx
HNY to you all, my beautiful, much treasured friends! I love you. ❤
For the past 5 yrs, I've aimed to read 52 books in 52 weeks, a feat to me that seems impossible every year. I also love film, tv, puzzles, music, family time, and I refuse to give any of that up. This yr, I didn't I think I'd made it, but somehow I exceeded my goal. 61!! (not 62 as it shows. I think goodreads is too overwhelmed by other NYE partiers for correction bandwidth. ;))
I either know where this is going (fine with me in this case) or I am set up to be surprised. :)!
pickWent into this with low expectations, came out blown away. I had no idea about this moment in US history. I am forever changed by reading this one. So good. High stakes. Such courage and humanity.
pickMy favorite book of the year. ❤️❤️
pickThis one felt like adult Clue. I really liked it. The characters were messed up but likeable.
pickI‘m not familiar with gymnastics, and this was still great. Twisty.
pickEnjoyable for everyone, especially women of marrying age and their moms.
pickAbsolutely perfect. A perfect gift book because I honestly can‘t think of a person who wouldn‘t enjoy it. I didn‘t know it was the prequel to The Hate U Give until halfway through. It‘s wonderful that it is, but it stands alone just fine.
pickI do recommend this one. I dky though, but it made me extremely anxious.
pickDon‘t quite understand one of the character‘s POV/motivation at the end, but this was good all the way through.
pickRead 3/4 before. Finished this time! Yay. (Spoiler: I really don‘t enjoy suppressed memories as a plot device, especially not as the last twist. It doesn‘t come across as a “gotcha” for me; more like an easy out. 🤷🏻♀️)
