A great author can make complex characters come to life even in a short book. Over a long weekend in June, Gail is blindsided by an announcement from her boss, surprised to find her ex-husband on her doorstep with a rescue cat in tow, and confronted by events from her own past on the day of her only child’s wedding. Gail thought she had her life perfectly in control, but is it a happy life?

I like everything about this book.

The last present is about how Amanda and Leo go back in time because Grace Connors sister gets into this coma because Angelina doesn’t want these powers that she’s given because of the vortex selects every century and Grace was one of them Amanda and Leo go back in time and try to help Grace but it turns out Angelina just wanted to get rid of her power .

I enjoyed this book. I listened to it while I did a lot of gardening and walking. It is a series and a fun summer read.

Over the summer, high school senior Grace came out to family and friends as transgender. She hadn’t planned on returning to the football field because she’s a girl now. But the team needs a great kicker and they convince Grace it will work. Senior year will be a time for new friends, old friends, college recruiting visits, wild parties, prom, confusion, despair, pink hair, podcasts, haters, and lots of football!

I liked how the unicorn put lots of outfits on.

I live it because you can get a different point of view

I read this book because I’m a fan of the Meant to Be series in which various authors retell Disney princess stories. This modernization of Mulan was ok. I kept thinking how I might have made different choices as the author, but I did get a kick out of Mushu. This book was a bit forgettable for me. I listened to it on Audible using my monthly Amazon Music Unlimited credit.

This was a silly book. I liked when they fell into the water ??

I went into this book with some skepticism because I wasn’t sure how a space-related sapphic romance would pan out, but Taylor Jenkins Reid delivered! The meat of this book is actually flashbacks leading up to the shuttle disaster, with snippets of the catastrophe interspersed throughout. Joan and Vanessa are two astronauts in the 1980s who defy odds, overcome sexism and develop mutual respect and affection. Joan balances her career and family drama largely created by her self-centered sister. The relationship between Joan and her endearing niece Frances really tugged at my heartstrings. I love TJR’s way with words and the narration of this audiobook. This was great!
