"Wow - it seems, by the reviews, that people either love or hate this novel. I’m gonna go ahead and give it a go, since I’ve read and enjoyed one of Evie Woods’s books in the past.

Started reading May 2, 2026."

Hazel Prior
“It's been a very long time since I've had an adventure.”
Hazel Prior, How the Penguins Saved Veronica

Alan Hlad
“It wasn't a miracle. You believed. And made it happen.”
Alan Hlad, The Long Flight Home

“It's a sweet, sweet life livin' by the salty sea.”
Zac Brown Band

G.K. Chesterton
“In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, "I don't see the use of this; let us clear it away." To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: "If you don't see the use of it, I certainly won't let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.”
G.K. Chesterton, The Thing: Why I am a Catholic

Laura Esquivel
“It appeared that the two of them had forgotten the most elementary rules of good manners, which tell us that at a social gathering one does not bring up the subject of personalities, sad topics or unfortunate facts, religion, or politics".”
Laura Esquivel, Like Water for Chocolate
