What You Wish For, Katherine Center
I think the blurb sums up this one well enough that it doesn’t need a summary from the reviewer. The school had so many fun elements and I would have loved to attend such a school when I was younger. “Joy and sorrow walk side by side.” When Duncan first showed up to the school… Continue reading What You Wish For, Katherine Center
We Were Mothers, Katie Sise
I won’t summarize this as there are a ton of reviews. I couldn’t stand Cora and the extent of control she needed to assert over her children’s lives. Normally when a person is that controlling, it’s because they’ve had a major trauma in their past. It could be from her sister’s death, I’m not sure.… Continue reading We Were Mothers, Katie Sise
The Happy Ever After Playlist, Abby Jimenez
I don't normally post two reviews in a row, but I'm a bit behind in my reviews, and I wanted to share a review of a book I loved after sharing one that I was lukewarm for.

This Is Not How It Ends, Rochelle B. Weinstein
I bought this a while back and as is customary when I’m picking my TBR, I just go with either what I can remember, or the fact I have it in a TBR queue to read it, so I’m always going into a book unaware. I’m glad I did this one because I enjoyed watching… Continue reading This Is Not How It Ends, Rochelle B. Weinstein
Brave Girl, Quiet Girl: Catherine Ryan Hyde
I read "Have You Seen Luis Velez?" in January, so when I saw this one available for request from Lake Union, I was excited to put in for an ARC. Catherine Ryan Hyde sucks her readers in from the very start with the perfect setup of a missing toddler, and the desperation of a mother… Continue reading Brave Girl, Quiet Girl: Catherine Ryan Hyde
