This is a remarkable book, and I loved that Karla Cornejo Villavicencio narrated it herself. Let me tell you: seeing this side of the Flint water crisis was incredible, and I honestly just started crying at this part of the narrative:
Mini ALC Review

While I LOVED Red, White, and Royal Blue, I didn't feel the same about One Last Stop. It was hard for me to feel a connection between Jane and August and really just to feel like I really knew Jane at all or could tell how she was feeling. So this may be more of a personal problem. But there were a lot of cute elements to this story - and my favorite part were all of the roomies and supporting characters. They seriously ruled. I read this as a buddy read and there were many, many people that LOVED this book.
Thanks to Libro.fm for the ALC.

Don't Make Me Turn This Life Around by Camille Pagánis the sequel to Life and Other Near-Death Experiences, but it can also be read as a standalone novel.
Libby has been cancer-free for thirteen years, but is still dealing with the anxiety of a possible remission, grief from the loss of her father, shock over unexpected news from her brother, sadness over a husband who seems to be distancing himself, and all the frustrations of having twin 12-year-old daughters, one of whom is a type 1 diabetic. Life is hard, and at this point, it isn't quite looking like Libby expected. So, naturally, she books a trip back to the magical Vieques, Puerto Rico, where she met her now-husband Shiloh. A tropical vacation revisiting the places that formed their romance with the girlswill turn everything around, right?! But what happens when a tropical storm starts moving toward the island? You'll just have to read to find out ;)
I love the important message in this book that trying to glaze over all of the tough things in life and just focus on the positive is not always helpful. Yes, a sunny outlook is great, but you also have to deal with the tough situations in life and really process and work through them with open communication with family, friends, and/or a therapist.
Thank you to Camille Pagán, Suzy Approved Book Tours, and Lake Union Publishing for the ARC!
