Really great book!!! 🤩

Reading about the Palisades Fire one year later is gripping. Did not realize water dropped by helicopters or planes could evaporate before hitting the ground (or that water from hoses could evaporate before hitting a fire). I can absolutely see this book becoming a huge bestseller.

This is...compelling. I worry about Karen's mental health. I like her. I'm scared for her, even though she's a badass. Adam is...currently talking with Marty, which is a fascinating juxtaposition.

So. Yes. First half is great!!

Stumbled on this author while reading comments on an X post. LOVE the beginning. I am hooked...invested in both Karen & Chet. Karen being strong, capable, and respected while also working to extricate herself from an emotionally and verbally abusive marriage is unexpected. Makes me curious about how she ended up with the creep in the first place.

LOVE this book. Hands down the best of the series so far.

Perfect Christmas week read!! Finley (love the name btw) is relatable & likable. Definitely like Tyler better than Alex, and Roland is a creep.

I am very much enjoying this book! : )

So...the Christmas squirrel by the town's sign + the bearded barber shop pinup girl sent me looking at Claire Kingsley's author page. Yup, she wrote Bailey Brothers & Haven Brothers. Both series are going on my reread list.

This book has kind of a Hallmark movie vibe (in a good way) + recognizing why Tilikum, WA, is familiar is...a nice discovery.

(Thanks to my better angels for pointing me in this direction!)

I'm trying, There is *so* much I like about this book but the frenemies trope...kinda makes my skin itch (borrowing a descriptor from the book). Kinda makes me cringe, to be completely honest.

Cora is the most likable character + the reason I'm still reading. Ford & Rosie...they're...annoying. I see glimpses of where their relationship might become...less...annoying. So there's that.

The first sentence made me cringe, but...really glad I stuck with it. I heard this is a good series. The chapters I've read so far do not disappoint! They've drawn me in and gotten me invested in these characters.

Editor me found one paragraph where two characters speak (one at the start & one at the end). I'm itching to put a simple return in that paragraph to keep the flow going lol.
