Sarah's writing voice comes out in her character's personalities. This was my first book, and based on their actions, I was able to determine a lot about them. So many things going on - main focus being to solve a murder with her best friend EIllie.

Did not like it at all!!!

I enjoyed reading this while working sleepaway camp and needed something quick to get through. Loved the style too! Finished this on July 7th.

Imagine, if you will, that your life completely changes because of an accident… You take responsibility for your alcohol and drug usage and just when you think you will be free, a pandemic happens. This was a powerful and moving book. (I shed some tears.)

An achingly beautiful novel depicting the immigrant experience as seen through the hard work of low wage jobs and how we treat those in this country who live on the margins. Highly recommend.

Good book!!!!

If you like baseball, you'll love this story. Between Joey's Italian family, which revolve all events around food - and Bobbi's family, that own a llama farm, these two young kids find they have more common that they realize. A funny and serious book for middle grade readers.

The author is a fan of John Irving and it shows - a oftentimes delightful book filled with rich characters. The story does a lot to illuminate how the gay community suffered throughout the decades of 1940s and onward in Ireland. Many of the plot points and twists and turns were a bit predictable and rote, but otherwise a good solid emotionally-fulfilling read.

Good book!!!!!! Loved the main character (the octopus)!!!

I enjoy the Women's Murder Club books a lot. They usually center around a particular murder mystery. This book, however, had three different plot lines, and the chapters kept jumping around. I found it disconcerting, so I didn't enjoy this book as much as the others in the series.
