One of my favorite pieces of Escape Fiction. I love the characters and the drama and re-reading this was a perfect way to pass an afternoon.

As great now as the first time I read it, it's neat finding the lines and parts that completely match the movie.

I didn't love this book. The characters and the story were often frustrating, but I guess that was the point of Livia.

I enjoy Oscar Wilde's work, but I was sad my favorite poem wasn't in this collection.

I loved this book. I loved the characters and the Icelandic setting and I thought it was really original.

I enjoyed this book, it was a lovely story of a woman traveling to Ireland to teach and falling in love while uncovering her mother’s secrets. The characters seemed like a lot of fun and her trials were moving, but overall this book wasn’t a winner for me. I’ve read some Christian Fiction and I normally don’t mind it, I just found this book had an excessive amount of praying and talking to God and reciting scripture. I should have saved this book for next year as it fits 11 prompts of The 52 Book Club’s 2021 reading challenge.

An entertaining set of instructions. Could also be used to keep away mice, insects, family members...

I always enjoy this book. It's very simple and fairly short, but it packs a lot into it. I lovey how it connects to so much mythology, and it makes me want to read Circe again.

I have conflicting feelings about this book. The dual timeline was well done and I didn’t get too lost when the chapters flipped perspective, but I felt a lot of it just kind of plodded along. The characters felt real and believable, but it wasn’t until into the second half that things really came together and it became harder to put the book down. Rebecca felt a bit weak and flimsy at first, but she definitely became a stronger person as time goes on.
