Mehso-so

This was just okay. It was way too long and I had a hard time liking anyone but Amy. Joy was so annoying.
Some of the explanations at the end required much suspension of reality.
I would have had a better time knitting like I‘d originally planned. 🧶 😀
Spoiler below.

MaleficentBookDragon The cat, the magnet, and the fog explanations were a bit hard to swallow. I did, however, really liked the end with Savanah. I wanted to know more about that. 3mo
Tamra Love that yarn color! I‘m trying to settle on an easy project to take camping next week. 3mo
TheBookgeekFrau I didn't like this one as much as her others; it felt forced. But I happened to be reading it when Gabby Petito went missing while traveling with her boyfriend Brian Laundry. I ended up appreciating the book a whole lot more, and thinking the Petito/Laundry case isn't as cut and dried as the news stories make it. 3mo
