It’s so nice to listen to such a wholesome book. The shenanigans the girls get into is such fun, and it’s amazing to reflect on what was entertaining back then compared to now. I’ve been enjoying listening to this book while going on walks around the neighborhood.

The mystery of why these women were locked away is keeping me so intrigued that I want to skip to the end, but you can’t do that with an audiobook. For that I should be grateful, I guess. To keep it a mystery for now. It’s been keeping me awake on my commute, so I guess that’s a good thing!

Wow. Who knew that everything really is tuberculosis?

“Stop thinking about who you were when you were living the wrong life… You’re built for the life you’re living now.”

This is the perfect road trip book! It carried us all the way and was so entertaining. His straight-faced, subtle, clean humor is the best!

“Isla Crown often fell through puddles of stars and into faraway places.”
What a beautifully engaging first line. I am already enthralled by the lore and I just want to keep reading, but it will have to wait for now.

A little PTSD in the wake of COVID, but he’s definitely asking an interesting “what if?” here.

I am in love with the language of this book😍

I’ve specifically been listening to this audio version as I move through the series, but it would only count as one book even though I’ve read 7. Hence the inputting of all of the other audio/books. Spotify has it available for Premium members!

Poor poor Puzzle!

Willoughby is an absolute cad. Men like him are pigs and deserve to be unhappy!

I love Nicola Coughlan’s narration! She is amazing at imitating the voices of each character from the Emma Thompson movie version that I can picture those characters saying the lines.

I was immediately intrigued by the premise of this book, and I am so glad I started reading it. The story is heartfelt with a touch of mystery to it. I’m interested to see what direction it will go.

I wish I could be reading this for the first time without the knowledge of “whodunnit”. Listening to the different voices is so fun, but knowing who it is takes away some of the fun.

I already know the ending, but listening to Dan Stevens read it just makes it a better story.

“It is as though the Lord wants to bless every attempt, however small or feeble it may be, to put our life in His hands” (194).

“Let us not, therefore, seek to hold God to the learned opinions of the moment when he speaks the language of eternity”.
