What a pure joy this book was to read! I loved the characters and the voice of the author almost immediately. This romance story is sweet, funny, thoughtful and just delightful. The town has Gilmore Girls vibes and both of the main characters are hard not to root for. Even though we don’t learn a lot about Izzy, she’s wonderful to root for, too. I hope there will be sequels as we can have Izzy’s story or Silas’ story next. With gratitude to netgalley and St. Martin’s Press for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
3.5 super fun, quick read. Funny banter. Good writing. Romance but also quite funny in many parts. Enjoyed this one.
I loved this beautiful story of a girl who’s trying to understand what happened to her mom who disappeared when she was little. It involves magical realism and some beautiful characters. And a lot about belonging.
I love Sigrid Nunez. I love her writing. I love her books. I love her characters. I love this book.
This was a fun and interesting read. A dad trying go save his wrongly accused daughter who then tries to save his dad 🙂
I’m sorry to say that even though I read this one almost as fast as the first one, I didn’t love it nearly as much. It was okay but just not as magical as the first one.
I loved every moment I spent with this book. The premise was already interesting: there is a black fog that kills most of humanity. The 110some people are left on an island and one is murdered. Our main character is trying to solve the mystery of what happened before the rest of them die from the incoming fog. From the beginning this story was a bit dystopian. It smelled like “The Giver” where what you’re reading has something off about it and you’re waiting to see what unravels. But the story that comes together keeps surprising the reader more and more every minute. All the way to the very end, I totally didn’t see any of the onion layers as they peeled. I loved all of it. I loved the characters. I loved the writing. I loved the ending. I loved this story. with gratitude to netgalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review
This is an excellent mystery where a besmirched journalist who has since become a PI is hired by a mother whose daughter seemingly attempted suicide and is in a coma. The PI has a hunch that the girl’s case is somehow linked to another girl who was murdered years ago and she tries to solve both of the girls’ stories. I thought this was well paced, interesting and it kept me reading the whole time. I liked the characters and I liked how the story was more convoluted than I kept imagining. I usually see the twists and there were several here I didn’t see coming. with gratitude to netgalley and Thomas & Mercer for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review
I thought so much of this book was really really beautiful. The main character has a mysterious disease that surfaces when she’s 9. This disease requires her to travel and she can never go back and revisit a location she’s been two more than once. So she always has to move after 2-3 nights. The book chronicles her journey through the world. The people who touched her and the people whose lives she touched. The whole time, I was wondering what happened to her and why she has this disease and with books like these, the endings are hard because there’s so much build up to understand. In my opinion while the ending was beautiful, it didn’t live up to what i needed to live up to. For me. I still loved all the imagery. The sadness of never having roots. Never getting to really know someone. Losing your kid in this way. One and on. There was so much beauty and so much visual imagery in this book. I loved it. with gratitude to netgalley and Simon & Schuster for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review
I loved the beautiful art of this book. It’s really really beautifully drawn. I also really enjoyed the story and I liked how even if you have someone who loves you and really good friends, life can still feel like a lot. I loved the way therapy is conveyed in this book. I loved so much of this book. I did think things magically resolved themselves a little too conveniently but otherwise i enjoyed this beautiful story and the magical illustrations. with gratitude to netgalley and Oni Press for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review
This is a romance novel but it covers grief in a beautiful and profound way. There’s also a lot of fun geocaching in it. As someone who’s done geocaching before, I thought that adventure part was really fun. I liked both of the characters and I loved the slow burn of how they found their way to each other. with gratitude to netgalley and St. Martin’s Press for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review |
