3.5 stars. This book seemed to have quite a bit of buzz when it was first released and made it back on my TBR with the recent paperback release (and Indie Next pick). I listened to this relatively short book on Libby. I struggle with rating this book because I have mixed feelings. A lot of the family interactions and loose plot fell flat for me. The timeline bounced around a bit, confusing me at times in reference to her daughter’s age for example. The humor around menopause was a highlight for sure! The discussion of motherhood, pregnancy and loss was complicated and thought-provoking.

Great book! Highly recommend for anyone 4th grade and above.

It was a very detailed and amazing book with lots of twists and turns awaiting you around every bend.

This book has a lot of cliffhangers! It’s also very exciting. My favorite character is Percy Jackson, I like that he is the son of Poseidon. If you like Greek Mythology and excitement, you will LOVE this book series!

This book is really funny and silly!

Thrilling and terrifying

I like how Harry Potter is kind and stands up for what is right.

So suspenseful yet so exciting! Harry can’t seem to stay out of trouble!

I first listened to this as an audiobook on Spotify and recently reread the physical book borrowed from the library. I’d definitely recommend listening to the author’s narration over the written version as Sarah Kay is a specialist in spoken word poetry. Overall, I found several of the poems relatable but others forgettable.
