Great book with wacky components.

Excellent thought experiment.

Lucy Barton tells us all about her ex-husband’s life, including the collapse of William’s third marriage, the anxiety of having a father who was a Nazi POW, and his discovery that he has an older half sister in Maine. Of course readers also learn more about Lucy and her past and current relationships with William. Great beach-read for fans of Strout’s other books.

I love this book, it’s really given me support and has aided in me not feeling so alone in my adhd journey. Will totally read again and I definitely recommend.

I honestly shouldn't even reveal that I read this because it's so bad and embarrassing but I have to just in order to tell people NOOOOO DON'T READ IT, IT'S SOOOOO BAD, romance that should be classed as psychological horror

I listened to this audiobook of short stories on Libby after it popped on my radar as a July Indie Next pick. This is a collection of 11 tales set in the south that cover a lot of content: pregnancy, violence, sex and intimacy, church, hair, Blackness and more. Nearly all of the vignettes felt forgettable and most seemed unresolved in my opinion. The narration was solid but the stories didn’t captivate me. My hands-down favorite from the bunch was “How Does Your Garden Grow?” which is a memorable and unique depiction of fibroids.

This is the kind of book I know will have a happy ending and I like to read these in between heavier content books.

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!

This book is a really great book! I like it because I like basketball and it is about basketball

This book came onto my radar via NetGalley. I was lucky to receive an ARC for review. Katie Beudert provided excellent southern narration that provided the perfect ambiance for a beauty pageant and murder mystery. I thought this book was a lot of fun. The characters were colorful. This is a good summer read to escape from the real world day-to-day. Read if you’re a fan of Miss Congeniality.
