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.

She was at school, she was flying back, she looked back and saw the sky above her, she saw a white floating thing and none of her friends believed her. It ended up being a snowy owl who just moved to the neighborhood.

This was one of the best books I have ever read. There is 6 stories in one book, so it always keeps you interested! I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good story!

Harry Potter is the best book series in the entire world.

We loved this intro to Shakespearean England and the time of Queen Elizabeth I! We blazed through it.

2.5 stars. I listened to this audiobook in one sitting as it’s quite a quick read, clocking in at 4 hours. I picked this up because I was looking for books that would satisfy a “two books with the same titles” bingo square, and there’s at least three other Forget Me Nots that I have/will read. As an Oregonian, I was intrigued by the historical romance set in Baker City. I don’t often read Christian fiction, but it’s also nice to mix it up. In this second chance romance, Julia and preacher Seth rekindle their former flame after seven years apart. This book’s first turn-off was how Julia went from not recognizing this apparent love of her life to instantly feeling infatuated as if no time or intervening events had passed. I really struggled with the Chinese immigrant representation. It felt so stereotypical with too much emphasis on the white savior. Maybe the stilted broken English speech on the audiobook exaggerated the effect, but I felt there was a missed opportunity to humanized these underrepresented characters. I appreciate what the author is trying to do (as evidenced in the author’s notes), but I think she misses the mark in execution. Maybe this book would be better as a full-length novel in which their story gets fleshed out a bit more. I almost rounded this book up on the rating because I think the intentions are good, but as it currently stands, I would recommend skipping this.

Cannot finish it. Too heavy and depressing.

I have really liked all books in this series but this one and the first were my favorite. I loved getting to hear Molly's grandmother's story! I think going back and forth between the two stories made it so much more interesting. Very good character development. Love these stories!

i loved that it was emosinabal and very fun to read
