This was my first Sloane Crosley so I am not sure if this is a typical book for her. This is a fascinating story about a main character who keeps running into her exes in the span of a short amount of time. The plot then takes a weird twist into technology and memory and so much more. I don’t want to give it away except to say it has some interesting insights around technology, dating, relationships and memory. I really enjoyed the genre-bending nature of it and I really enjoyed Crosley’s wry sense of humor.

Who doesn’t love a Katherine Center book! Her characters are always so sweet and lovable and I liked the switch of the plot in this one where the bodyguard was the female character. This was fun, sweet and exactly what I needed during these not-so-fun times. Thank you for always knowing what’s needed Katherine Center.

What a gift of a book. I loved every moment I spent with this story and these lovely, endearing characters. The octopus was most definitely my favorite. Really wonderful novel to read during these tough times.
3.5 stars because I read this one very quickly. It was about women ho backstabbed each other and men who did, too. All the rich people being not so nice. Reasonably predictable.
3.5 stars for this groundhog day story that manages not to make every day feel the same. the stories that revolve around re-living the same day are always tricky but this one managed to bypass that trope. I enjoyed the time I spent with it.
Peggy Dean’s book is an invitation to use sketching as a way to practice mindfulness. To slow down and observe the world around you and take time to re-create it on the page. She gives simple but comprehensive sketching instructions and covers all of the basics like perspective, buildings, people, etc.
This is the perfect book to get you started on your sketching journey and to help you practice mindfulness alongside this wonderful pasttime.
