A beautiful story deserving to be heard. I don’t know why any library or school district would ban this book. They’re crazy for doing that. Enjoyed every moment and the author narrating the book was terrific.

It was slow throughout the book and there wasn’t any major plot points. The ending was more satisfying than the Only Survivors but it stretched on and on. Avery was a great character though and the rest of them can go screw themselves.

I enjoyed reading Nora Goes Off Script but this didn’t resonate well with me. I thought Sam was annoying and she should’ve taken more time for herself to get over Wyatt.

The book progressed slowly until the last 20% where it actually picked up. Cassidy. I have no words for her. I’m shocked. Overall, it was flat and kinda boring.

This was one of the saddest books I’ve read in 2024 and it made its impact. Ng took pieces of history to integrate into this story and it was really sad.

The first half of the book was pretty slow but it picked up really quickly in the second half. I’m not usually reading fantasy but this was a delight to read! Amina was a fabulous character and the story was thoughtfully written.
It was bad and the I didn’t enjoy the writing. I had bad vibes coming from this book.

It started out slow but progressed and it was a story meant to be told. I don’t know how Frederik Backman wrote this novel but the characters were written in a way that I knew them personally.
Graphic: Rape
Minor: Homophobia
