Not terrible but also not amazing. Sarah Pinborough’s books are always unusual and require a suspension of disbelief. This one is no exception. But it’s still interesting, engrossing and worthwhile.
Jonathan Franzen can write. He also can create 3dimensional characters that jump out of the page and stick with you for a long, long time. I put off reading this book because it was so long and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to commit to a book for this long if it wasn’t going to be excellent.
But alas it was quite excellent.
I loved each of the characters in their own ways and their imperfections and their willingness and ability to grow. I cannot wait to read the next one.
I’ve been journaling since I was in third grade. I remember (and still have) my first diary. I still find journaling to be the most useful tool to help ground myself, to understand my thoughts and to figure out a path forward for myself when I am stuck. This book has a collection of chapters by different contributors, each telling you a different kind of journaling or a different place, way, goal to journal. I found it to be incredibly inspiring and I can’t wait to sit and try some of these other methods that I don’t usually do. If you’re into journaling, or have wanted to journal, this book is guaranteed to inspire you.

I think I liked this one even more than the first one. Beckett is such a great character and it was just so lovely to get lost in his world for a few hours. Love the kittens, the duck, the sisters. I love everything about these books.
This was an okay story, moved fast but went nowhere. No major twist (I guess one small one which I will admit I didn’t guess.) Interesting premise but not sure where it went in the end.
