A great author can make complex characters come to life even in a short book. Over a long weekend in June, Gail is blindsided by an announcement from her boss, surprised to find her ex-husband on her doorstep with a rescue cat in tow, and confronted by events from her own past on the day of her only child’s wedding. Gail thought she had her life perfectly in control, but is it a happy life?

This book is amazing. So many mood swings. I love it!

I really wanted to love this book! It came onto my radar because I follow the author’s nycbookgirl instagram for bookish content. The idea of a love story in an art museum with magical realism sounded like such an amazing premise, and the lovely cover sets a nice tone. The book got off to a solid start but fragments into multiple disparate plot twists (one of which involved the pandemic, which took the book out of the present for me). I also felt like the emotional declarations between the two main characters felt too big and instalove for my taste. Still, someday when I come across Matisse’s The Music Lesson, I will immediately think of this book and all that it strove to achieve. I listened to the dual narration audiobook on Libby.

The true story of what it took for a young Jewish boy to survive Holocaust Germany and escape to Switzerland.

It was good because nat was trying her best to complete the trailton.

I love this series- I started with the Wandering Inn Series by the same Author and now listen to this one as well, which diverges to a different continent and plot line in the same magical world. I am hundreds of hours in and still look forward to each new release!

This was a silly book. I liked when they fell into the water ??

I enjoyed this book. I listened to it while I did a lot of gardening and walking. It is a series and a fun summer read.

I just started and it already so good (and emotional )

Guys listen to me, I know this is volume 19 of a series you will probably never read but it needs be remarked that everytime an adventure shoujo series surpasses 15 volumes it suddenly picks up steam and is just eminently readable. This series is no exception, truly one of the best manga confessions and rejections I've read in a hot minute cause I just like all of these characters so much and they don't act out of character just for the plot to progress as so many manga. Snow White with the Red Hair & Yona of the Dawn supremacy forever!!
