This is absolutely my favorite Erin La Rosa book - I loved the nostalgia, I loved the characters, I loved the magical realism.

I love the idea of creating a playlist about my life and every single song invoking a memory - but I also love even more the idea of a song showing me how life could have been different. And I loved that as Sam got through the playlist created by Damon, it showed her that life truly worked out for the best even though she wondered if she should have done things differently.

I realized that I want to read more books that bring about the nostalgia of the 90s and early 2000s. (Even though I will make a correction that Taylor Swift was not pop in the early 2000s but actually considered country/pop music

Cash Stash Activity Book is perfect for anybody who needs to learn how to budget & save, but also needs it to be fun.

I love the various challenge pages that turn the act of cash savings into a game. The pages are perforated and single sided so you can tear them out & put them into a separate notebook as you use them. You can use markers to color them in without worry of it bleeding and ruining another page.

2025 will be my year to really dedicate to saving and I can’t wait to use these challenges to help motivate me. I would recommend this for teens and adults who are working towards being financially responsible.

Thank you to Ilysse and Callisto for the ARC!
