3.5 stars. This was a decent YA read that follows 17-year old Madeline in a sort of coming-of-age romance. Her brother is engaged to a woman who Mads fears may not be the right fit. This book is about her family interactions as well as many firsts- dates, kiss, and more. I liked the premise but felt like this book lost its way slightly in the love triangle aspect with potential suitor Connor and Marco. I appreciate that this book was not totally expected and messy at times in a real life sort of way. I listened to an ARC audiobook on NetGalley.

Super fun you also learn about problem solving and how to fix your attitude when things go wrong.

Excellent book with great plot and characters.

So funny and Hallariuos!

First in the series about a scientist/amateur crime solver. This is cat, cat & mouse between police detectives, three people who covered up an instance of manslaughter/murder, and the scientist who both helps the police and -in this case - has a sympathetic connection to one of the suspects. Page turner!

Chi's Sweet Home was a book about a cat named Chi. Chi was lost from her cat family and found a new family. The family lives in an apartment that pets aren't allowed. They have to find a new place to live or do something about Chi. The first type of art was my favorite because Chi was always blushing, but when it got to the middle Chi stopped blushing. I would recommend this book to people who like cats.

Such great Portland references - fun to know all the actual places!

I love bad kitty Nick Bruel wrote all the books so well I read bad kitty to my little sister and she loves it to over all really good books I would recommend.

The sweetest story! This book is a perfect introduction to chapter books for preschoolers. It has colorful illustrations and a humorous and engaging storyline. We love this series!
