She knows it is what her husband would have done but she's also trying to deal with a sister who is missing and two sisters who are therapists!
Antonia faces a lot of tough choices. It would be a good book discussion pick.
Queer, trans, POC rep galore in this YA book about a 17 year old who wants to fall in love, but first he wants to find out who has been bullying him fQueer, trans, POC rep galore in this YA book about a 17 year old who wants to fall in love, but first he wants to find out who has been bullying him from his school. Is this a enemies to lovers, a best friend to lovers, or sometimes parents are just trying their best? Or maybe a rich people have feelings, too, book? You'll have to read it to find out! It's definitely an all the side characters are better than the main character book. lol. But really.
Also, I've seen some 'tubers talk about how the kids in this book drink and smoke. So.. in case that's something you hate: the kids are not straight-edge in this book.

It was quick and easy, much like George's journey here, but I don't fault the book for this, a first step in George's story.

However, book 3 introduces a new character that I really just do not care about at all. And the story ended for me way before it ended in the book; the storylines I was interested in were done but there was extra stuff to wrap up. I plan to do a series review. We'll see how it goes.

This is the story of a girl who has run off to NYC, having cut ties with all of her friends. I enjoyed the book, though I was a little disappointed in the big secret at the end. But, I think I am a heartless robot... or that's what my husband says. meh.

My review: I got this book from a YA box subscription that I didn't really want. So, maybe I'm salty about that. But I don't think so. I might also be done with over-done tropes. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's just jump in...

And the story made me want to know how it was all going to end up. I didn't care so much for the main character or the sister.
I'd say this was a bit Night Circus, wizard of oz, and one of those horror movies with the old switcheroo at the end.
All in all, I’m giving it 4 out of 5 stars. It’s a quick read (for a grown- ass woman) that is fun and interesting. I Received for free for a review:
All in all, I’m giving it 4 out of 5 stars. It’s a quick read (for a grown- ass woman) that is fun and interesting. I will recommend it to 10 year olds and up (and the odd jaded 8 year old) that enjoys a bit of spook with their adventure story.
Urgh!! I wrote a long thing about how much I really like this book and then it got lost during the save! I'm definitely not going to write it again. BUrgh!!
