Detective agency at the back of a cafe replicates recipes from clients’ long ago memories. Too bad this isn’t a “scratch ‘n sniff” book because some of the dishes sound amazing!

Evil spy school is a very good book.

Dual time line story set in 1920's and the present. Fascinating novel about the stealing of eggs from the nests of shore birds to sell to collectors. Well drawn characters and suspenseful. I knew nothing about this so-called "hobby". Warning: You will feel badly for the birds.

(4 year old’s review) I like everything in this book. It’s about Little Blue Truck and I love him. And it’s about spring. Toad gets to drive Little Blue Truck and I don’t. They get to meet a lot of friends.

First in a series. Cat and mouse between a Tokyo detective and a school teacher who has confessed to murdering the famous author who blackmailed him into ghost writing his newest books. The detective feels there’s something wrong with the confession and so dives into the childhoods of each man..

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.

I think this book should be read because it has an interesting story plot and a good compromise.

I loooooove that book! everyone should get a chance to read it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really like this book because it has gems in it and I like Amaya. I think someone else would like it because it has a girl who really likes her friends and they go into a place called gem world. I really like how at the end she gets her brother back and she gets her parents back with her brother.

Great book with lots of twist and terns.
