Although she has learned to say "soda" instead of "pop" and "sneakers" instead of "tennis shoes," she still thinks of the tiny candy on top of cupcakes as "sprinkles." "Jimmies" is just weird.

This is just a “me note” but since I checked it out on Libby, I had no idea it was a novella. When it got to the end at 130ish pages, I thought that was the inciting incident of a full length novel so I was surprised when I turned the page and it was ...more

This is a fun romp about family secrets. I mean, there’s murder and sibling stress and regret, not fun stuff. But the plot moved quickly and I enjoyed the ride. A fun vacation book.

To me, this book is more of a poem or an art installation piece that would be cool to walk through in a museum. It’s not really a character driver novel. Maybe you care, maybe you don’t care about that. It is beautifully written. It has big thoughts ...more
