3.75 stars rounded up. In the world of Ali Hazelwood, this book was somewhat lower tier and forgettable, but it’s still a fun summer read. I liked the setting (Italy), the audiobook’s dual narration (primarily FMC POV w/MMC speaking), the chemistry and general blend of tropes (age gap, brother’s best friend, handsome rich MMC). I felt like there was an attempt to make this a friends-to-lovers romance but it felt more like a second chance turned instalove, which left me conflicted.

Marshmallow and Jordan was very fun to read. It had many pictures and cute animals. It showed that even people in wheelchairs can do anything!

Not one of his best…started off strong but then got too confusing!

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

Great book!

This book series is full of fun adventure, fantasy, and romance. It keeps you intrigued with its plot twists around every corner, or in this case, every turn of a page. I have enjoyed this series and hope and believe that you will too.

A young pregnant woman finds her way walking home after Portland experiences "the big one". There is a dual time line. While she is making her way, she is mentally reviewing her life choice. Interesting book. Will definitely make you thing about your own preparedness. Kudos to the author for resisting the urge to tie up all the loose ends at the end of the book. (Tho, I wouldn't have minded if she did.)

It’s an amazing book and is very interesting it’s about a really smart boy passing a series of test.

For readers who have met New York author (and eventual resident of Maine) Lucy Barton in Strout’s other books, this is an interesting deep dive into her life. It focuses on a period in. Barton’s life where her children were young and she is in the hospital for nine weeks with a severe infection following routine surgery. Not sure if I would have enjoyed this story if I hadn’t read about Barton in Strout’s other books.

It is literally about a cat that is a ninja. I don't really like it to much but I read it !
