This was my first Campfire edition of a book. I enjoyed all of the extras that are included. They truly add to the story and are fun to discover along the way. It was nice to get extra backstory through Kraken. I also was happy to see the story move forward, the babes being tots is adorable. I am very happy with this book.

Company, yes. People, no.

So much of this is relatable. Kaling had put into words much of how it feels when I go out to events. She very accurately describes the mental thought process that pictures for me. It is nice to know I'm not alone, I also crave company but dislike people. This is a good short collection of stories that all fit the title precisely.

My daughter and I read this together. It was cute and a good beginning to a series. My daughter did not enjoy the bunk mate character and thought the drama was over done. We are going on to the next book in the Mystwick series but will probably not read this short again.

I enjoyed this collection of stories. It is a good mash up of tidbits, suggestions, recipes, photos, and life. I appreciated the connections of life to yoga. The lessons are well presented and offer the opportunity for the reader to apply them to their own life. The recipes all look very good and feel as if they are shared directly from Ms. Folmer's family, what a gift. The photos are beautiful, often enhancing the story being told, I do wish they had been captioned. That is the only suggestion I could make. As a whole this book was lovely to read, caused smiles, and ultimately, brought me comfort.

My kids and I have finished the book! This one is so intense yet seems to drag on. My daughter and I both cried at various moments while my son was outraged by Voldemort's lies toward the end. We loved the series. Jim Dale was spectacular at reading the audio books. I know my kids will read these again when they are older.

Little freed.

These characters had dark backgrounds. Their relationship grew from friendship and became their reward. It was nice to see them get together. Even better to see them both deal with the past in positive ways. Only one DD/lb story left in the series; I hope it will redeem the overarching bad character.

The end of this trilogy was well written. There were several surprises, more amusing moments, and, unfortunately, heartbreak. Though one can expect the later when war is occurring. Fin coming into his own was great to read. The epilogues were my favorite parts and left me wanting to read the next books.

I listened to the series and enjoyed it until this book. The voices were a bit off it seemed. Most distractingly the voice for Kraken was entirely different from book two. It gave the character an entirely different feel which took away from how wonderful he had been previously.

A cute quick read. I began this series with book 3 and did not feel like I had to read the first two. After reading this one I do feel like I understand these characters better. The end was particularly satisfying. Overall, I enjoyed this story.

Meh. Not bad. Not great. I don't think I'll pick this one up again.

It was interesting to learn more about Kish's life. From her upbringing, to her start in the food world, to her expansion in television. The journey was amazing to read. There were so many changes in direction over the years, from significant to slight, that lead to where she is now. I appreciated the overall message of the book, that accidents can happen on purpose. That if we lean into the unexpected, the new, the change of course... we have the opportunity to create joy for ourselves that we may not find otherwise.
