Really really enjoyed this story about a woman who moves back home after being laid off and is trying to come back home to herself. Several interesting themes are covered in this story but at the root of it is how we find our way back.
This was an excellent story that was too long. Maybe Kingsolver and I are just never meant to be. But It was too long.
I loved Slocumb’s previous novel and I loved this one too. I love the juxtaposition of music, racism, mystery and historical fiction all at once. He’s such an excellent writer.
3.5 stars. not sure i can write anything about this one that hasn’t already been said. I have several writer friends so I knew many of the stories. So many of the tropes are all in here. Cancel culture, own voices, twitter, and more.
I was so excited to get my hands on a Lorrie Moore book. There’s no one who writes as beautifully as Moore can and this book is no exception. The story for this one is hard to explain and if you like a clean, simple story, this book is likely not for you. This involves a teacher who loves conspiracy theories, a cross country trip, a clown, some ghost, hospice death, and so much more that doesn’t seem like they could come together to hold a story. But underneath it all, it’s about grief and humanity and love. And Lorrie Moore never disappoints with her writing. with gratitude to netgalley and Knopf for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
Cute and sweet and a fast read. Made me really glad my kiddos are living in this century and surrounded by open minded peers. Great YA book.
perfect when you need a light and happy read. It never lets me down.
Eh it was good when I read it but a month later I already forgot about it.
I love Lehane’s writing. It’s real, it’s gritty, it’s atmospheric. The characters are deeply memorable. The mystery is real, disturbing and sad. I loved this one.
This is the story of two best friends while in college. An affair, a boyfriend who is hard to nail down, an infatuation, books and more books. I loved all of the characters in this story. Even though they are all flawed, I loved their incomplete selves. I loved their friendship. I had so much empathy for them and kept rooting for them again and again. with gratitude to netgalley and Knopf for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review
Rowley never disappoints. His stories are the perfect combination of heart and love, sorrow and humor and this one is no exception. Old friends who come together and support each other. Lives that take unexpected turns. The beauty and the sorrow of the ordinary parts of life. You will not regret reading this one. with gratitude to netgalley and G.P. Putnam’s Sons for an early copy in exchange for an honest review.
I’ve been trying to learn Korean for a few months. I have been doing Duolingo and have bought a few textbooks to help me with grammar. This book is one of the better ones but it’s still challenging to navigate on your own if you’re completely new like I am. |
