I like the castle cake because the chicklets make it and I like the chicklets. I think the pictures are funny. I think other kids would just like this book too

At the insistence of her ex, writer Lucy Barton leaves NYC at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and moves with him to a seaside house in Maine. There they spend weeks in lockdown, visiting their children only sporadically. We see pandemic restrictions through their eyes: empty store shelves, masking, washing hands - and clothes after a trip to the grocery store - and distrust of outsiders. As weeks turn to months, each ponders their shared future, their past in NYC, and the complications and unhappy surprises as 2020 becomes 2021. Readers need not have read other Strout novels to enjoy this book, but those who have already met Lucy will appreciate this deep dive into her life.

This has been a great book for taking the moral judgements out of not having a clean house. It also contains some great cleaning hacks and makes you realize that clean enough is truly enough.

I just started and it already so good (and emotional )

I devoured this book. In my opinion, it’s an extremely well-written triumph of a ghost story that is perfect for foodies who enjoy magical realism. I heard about this book when it was listed as a June Indie Next pick and its premise piqued my interest. I listened to the audiobook on Libby and would be eager to read more from debut author Daria Lavelle. This captivating and haunting culinary masterpiece was *chef’s kiss!

An exciting book full of action on every page. There are immersive mysteries, deep characters, and a world full of exploration. Brandon Sanderson does a great job of drawing you into the world that he's created and leads you to explore the expansive narrative and backstory of the book.

Really good, chilling ending and never guessed right about who was good or bad...

Hilarious and ridiculous and the drawing make it even better!

12 to 22 is a really good book about time traveling and social media, it had an awesome plot except for the fact that it was a bit slow in the beginning

It was so interesting I could not but the book down read it 5 hours in a row
