A real thriller!

This book is a sequel to Circus Mirandus by Cassie Beasley.

Not long enough

What about his dad? Will his mom be able to take care of him, his brother, and sister? Read New From Here by Kelly Yang to find out!

I read this book because it was a July Indie Next pick and GMA’s book club pick. I listened to the audiobook via Libby and was surprised by the English-accented narration by actress Lucy Boynton (though in retrospect I shouldn’t because of the author’s Irish origin). This book definitely felt like Survivor with more coupling and more cutthroat consequences. I couldn’t look away from the competition of it all and my interest was maintained up until the couple switching. The book had a bit of a lull but finished with what seemed to be an explosion of the seven deadly sins. This was an interesting book that would be good to discuss but also one I’m unlikely to reread.

The adventure in the book was really entertaining

A young pregnant woman finds her way walking home after Portland experiences "the big one". There is a dual time line. While she is making her way, she is mentally reviewing her life choice. Interesting book. Will definitely make you thing about your own preparedness. Kudos to the author for resisting the urge to tie up all the loose ends at the end of the book. (Tho, I wouldn't have minded if she did.)

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

it is good

This is a very great book with suspense, drama, and overall the book that is very good. Thank you for making this an OBOB book
