This had me laughing throughout! Her Southern accent and conversational storytelling was great. Although, she did talk a little too fast at times so it was difficult to catch what she was saying at times. Whether you are a “Southern lady” or not, it is very relatable & very entertaining!

Love the book!!!! And the twists!!!! Definitely a great read!!!

I normally don’t read thriller/horror books, but I decided to read one to fill out the BINGO card. The story became progressively more disturbing and violent which was difficult for me to read. I only finished the book because it was a short book. The writing was well done in putting you in the character’s mind —understanding why they thought and did what they did. Still very disturbing. I can’t say that I enjoyed the book. 2 stars because the writing was well done.

When you enter this dystopian world you are quick to remember that life may be easier outside of this world. Everything is very regimented within this military world before you know it you are trying to shield your arms thinking you may also have special powers that are illegal.

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

Bittersweet—-Heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. The cruelty of societal racism (especially by the very wealthy) that the characters had to bear was painfully sad to read, but the simple joys in life that they held onto and finding home” was heartwarming. Morrison was able tell the story in a beautiful poetic way.

This was my first time reading from this author. Really liked her writing style. The book was humorous and very serious at times. Two women who own a bakery get involved in shenanigans that put them in very dire situations - but in this book they overcame the obstacles they were faced with and found a twist of an outcome.

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.

Another excellent read by Marian Keyes! A rags (ish) to riches (ish) tale involving amystery illness and trails of raising a family ... the characters are so well developed that I miss (someof) them!

4 stars. I have finally gotten around to reading this book after and it didn’t disappoint. Great chapter building and twist at the end!
