Dreaming of Flight, Catherine Ryan Hyde
This might be a tricky review to write, as it would be easy to spoil certain aspects of the book. I would recommend not reading reviews before reading this, but you’re here now, so at least read this one. What an emotional book! Stewie is an exceptional boy. He’s faced so much loss in his… Continue reading Dreaming of Flight, Catherine Ryan Hyde

Leaving Blythe River, Catherine Ryan Hyde
I got into Ryan Hyde a few years ago, and I bought this one in my quest to work through her back catalog. Unfortunately, it sat in the dreaded TBR for far too long. As this is well-reviewed, I will keep this review fairly short. While naïve about some things in life, Ethan is intelligent… Continue reading Leaving Blythe River, Catherine Ryan Hyde
A Man Called Ove, Fredrik Backman
In 2020, I was lucky enough to receive Anxious People as an ARC. That was my first book of Backman’s, and I was blown away, so of course, I want to work my way through his back catalog. However, I don’t think any review could do A Man Called Ove justice. Both funny and heartbreaking,… Continue reading A Man Called Ove, Fredrik Backman
No Light to Land On, Yara Zgheib
What an absolutely stunning book! This is one of those books that I got caught up in and forgot to make notes. But I did highlight so many things that were beautiful or resonated with me in one way or another. I appreciate that Zgheib showed the repercussions of the travel ban and how people… Continue reading No Light to Land On, Yara Zgheib

Tell Me How to Be, Neel Patel
I won this in a Goodreads giveaway, and the book showed up about a week later, making it the fastest turnaround time for an ARC ever. So, of course, I wanted to start it immediately. The story is told in alternating perspectives and timelines, one of my favorite writing styles. My heart broke for Akash,… Continue reading Tell Me How to Be, Neel Patel
