My heart loves these books 🥰

I am one of the biggest fans of the first book, Big Little Lies, (and the subsequent HBO series)so I am really excited about this one.

Ten chapters in and it’s so good already 😊

This book is crazy (crazy good!)

So far - just a few chapters in my jaw has hit the floor, I have snickered. Starts with a bang. Can’t wait to see where it’s going!

So excited for this one from the author of Frozen River

Mabel, I am not sure what you’ve done yet. But I love you and I already forgive you.

This book is so good and makes my heart full, while also embedding some good life lessons- like:
it’s ok to say what you want.
I don’t want it to end!

Ok, I just started however I must say that when Lauren Graham is the narrator and the opening quote is from Gilmore Girls, I am in! ❤️

Phew.. starts out with a punch. Don’t listen around others on audio! Ha!

I am already loving this story with the 90s setting, the 90s song references and the Gilmore Girls type small town setting.

Ok, wow. A blend of Love Island, Lord of the Flies and Survivor. Unique and I’m loving it so far on audio

Already leaps and bounds better than my precious book. Always good when I’m laughing and wanting to share lines with others.

“Mehri has always treated parenting like she’s cooking a big warming pan of something; a pinch of that, a pinch of this, she’s sure it will turn out fine in the end. Cora’s own approach has always felt more like baking a cake: carefully measuring out ingredients and trying not to ruin everything. She admires Mehri’s way.”

Signed up for more confusion
But the answers are coming out, and now I can’t stop!

I picked this because it was a YA quick read, but found myself really eager to read it. Today during lunch I read a quick chapter. I had to know how it was going to end! I was pretty surprised with how much I enjoyed it!

It was an important story to write and to read. But I did find myself not wanting to pick it up and read it. Each chapter was a new person and at a certain point it was too confusing to keep it all together. I wish the end had a family tree of some sort to visualize! Glad I read it but not sure I would recommend to others.

While I wait for the Abby Jimenez book drop on April 2nd,, I’ll prep myself with the 3rd book in the Windy City series. Always a spicy win and hard to put down!

TJR is one of my favorite authors of all time. And once again, she hooks me from the first line.
