Katherine Center has a knack for writing lovable characters, and this book was no different. She writes stories with “happily ever afters,” which allows the reader to enjoy the journey the characters go on, without the stress of wondering if something truly terrible will happen. I’ve lived everything she’s written and can’t wait to read more of her books!

Saw the movie first because the ebook had a wait list. Movie was great with Audrey Hepburn. Loved her carefree fun personality. She had her past challenges in life but she was a fighter. Loved this! The beginning of the book was not part of the movie, but the rest of it pretty much followed it. It was more of a fun read than I thought it would be.

Ah, Percy and Sam…you were lovable from the start. This is the story of growing up and making mistakes and finding your way with each other, of choosing to love each other well in spite of mess ups. Loved this book.

I listened to Elyse read her audiobook, and it was every bit as delightful as you would expect it to be coming from her. I laughed and cried, empathized and felt seen. Thank you, Elyse, for sharing yourself with the world.

Wasn't sure about it during the first story -- it felt like there was too much of a Right and Wrong -- but I ended up really enjoying it by the end

Really enjoyed this! Some speculative elements that I wish got more cerebral, but maybe the end just wasn't for me

Was hard to put down. Kept me guessing if the couple would get caught and end up in jail. Also kept me guessing who the black mailers were. Interesting and sad to see how money changes people for the worse.

Uncomfortable but entertaining is a good way to describe this book. I wish there was more explanation with characters at the end but I did enjoy how the story ended. Almost wanting more, so many questions not answered.

A dystopian novel that was quite interesting and a solid story. Not a super-exciting book and at times difficult to figure out who is who and where they fit into the timeline.

Not an easy read unless you are an archaeologist or student. Interesting how they discovered the signs of prehistoric life (animal & human) through the excavations of this Quarry. Finding fossils and hunting tools. A lot of research was involved and assessed. I don’t necessarily understand the findings but I am fascinated at how there is so much history in Orange County.
