While I did love The House in the Cerulean Sea a tad more, this book did not disappoint. TJ Klune has a way with words and the imagery created is magic. I so loved all the children and their unique outlook of the world. The story was uplifting, funny, charming, and full of hope.

I really liked this book because it had a really good plot and it made all of the other books way easier to understand. I really liked this book.

This book has great vocabulary and shared insights to the world about life as a minority. It displays a coming of age theme which revolves around Starr, the ferocious main character of this novel. I would definitely recommend!

Boo had great tips, really liked the co author. Dan Harris is ..interested but seems genuine.

I listened to this audiobook on Spotify after seeing universal praise for this debut epistolary novel. I thought this story of aging Sybil Van Antwerp was engaging and diverse, covering all aspects of her life and varied interactions with others. The narration was great. I can see the appeal of the tender, painful tale.

Fantastically written, pulse quickening, Mo Hayder can write a book that leaves you thinking about it for many years to come

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!

In keeping with the-looking-at-a-familiar-story through a different lens, this offering to the genre does not disappoint. It is not always a pleasant read, but definitely a good one.

Because it kept me entertained
