Bonnie Solomon liked Paige's review of The Jingle Rebellion (Pearly Gates, #3): "Very enjoyable Christmas themed story. Perfect to get into the holiday spirit. Pearly is fabulous as usual and much more patient which she has to be when dealing with high school students. A highlight was getting to spend more time with Thunder. "

Quotes by Bonnie Solomon (?)

“this life—like all her lives—demands her full attention.”
― Bonnie Solomon, Pearly Gates

0 likes

“She sighs. “I just wish I felt more confident. People talk about transition like there’s this finish line—like one day I’ll just wake up and be complete. But I don’t think that’s how it works. I’m afraid I’ll keep changing but never arrive. Like I’ll always be in this awkward in-between space, wanting more, never satisfied with where I am, or who I am.” Pearly shakes her head. “I don’t think it’s about crossing some finish line. I think it’s about becoming more of who you already are. And that never ends. We’re always evolving – right up until we die.”
― Bonnie Solomon, Pearly Gates
