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.

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

Not a quick read. It was a slower read where you savored each page. Fascinating that the author chose the genre of fiction even though it was a true story. Loved the way the author described the scenery in beautiful detail and described the food in Taiwan so detailed and enticing. I am a Foodie so I appreciated the many meals that were mentioned. The history and culture of Taiwan was told in a very interesting way. The friendship of the 2 women (main characters) was complex and fascinating.

Amazing book. Warning this book will rip your heart out.

Enjoyed this WWII historical fiction with 2 timelines following the story of a forger who helped change names of Jewish children and helped them escape France to Switzerland.

A book about how choosing a name can shape a persons life. You follow 3 different timelines where Cora chooses 3 different names for her son. The story highlights the impacts of domestic abuse and the how all 3 names lead to different outcomes for their family.

Once again, Sarah Graves tells a story that is intriguing and and thoughtful, while adding some humor between the two main characters, Jake and Ellie. Her writing makes the reader truly think about how? what? why? On to the next one!

Liked the book!!! Wanted to see how it finished!!

The storytelling was so down to earth and relatable. It was like reading her diary as she went through the cancer. Beautifully written as she shares her thoughts and emotions. So very sad that the novel although it is fiction, it’s actually a true story. I feel gratitude to her sharing for her bittersweet experiences. She will be greatly missed.

Love this author! Have read many of her Trash and Treasures Mysteries. Humorous, mysterious... but mostly humorous because the main character is quite something else.
