I'm so happy to have Jules back, on top of her game, and in very capable hands with these three incredible gals!
Cirque American: Girl Over Paris is Jules' story of getting her groove back. She had a tough go in Girl on a Wire and needs to figure out who she is, absent good luck charms and magic - well, minus the magic of Paris! Cirque American ringmaster and owner, Thurston, believes Paris will help Jules find her footing (see what I did there?). And of course, Remy, Jule's boyf, and Dita, Jules' good friend and Remy's sister, get to come along!
When the team arrives, they are invited to an exclusive circus party, where we see everyone all dolled up and meet the gorgeous Gab, who seems to share a mutual interest in Dita. This allows Remy and Jules to have some alone time on the dance floor. *swoon* The next day, Jules puts on a spectacular performance, earning her more Valentines, including a mysterious masked figure who tries to throw her off course and then disappears down a dark and scary hole.
What a great way to continue the Cirque American world, with another mystery and great art to tell the story!

This is one of the most beautiful books I've ever read. It was first sold to me as a sci-fi anthology, which I was so on board with. The next time I heard of it, someone told me it was a feminist anthology. At first I thought I was mistaken or had previously heard incorrectly...But no, it is a feminist sci-fi anthology written by a diverse set of authors. The book itself is diverse in media, with not only short stories but short graphic stories and even a screenplay. I want to put this in the hands of every person I meet.
When people said how amazing Tiny Cooper is, I never understood. This is a book about Will Grayson and Will Grayson so why is everyone all about Tiny Cooper?
I get it, guys. I get it.
I get it, guys. I get it.
I appreciate how much time we spent with the ladies in this book. Jet needs some anger management therapy...Hope he gets it!
My problems with Thirteen Reasons Why are the same that I had with All the Bright Places. For now I'm going to leave it at that and ask you to consider the resources in that review.
This was an interesting character driven story. Full review coming soon.
This is a tough book in every sense of the word - and you won't regret reading it. Such a deep dive into grief and friendship and the choices a person makes. Pick this one up when you're ready to get inside another person's grieving mind.
