“So there's heartbreak in these pages, but also universal truth. We all have the capacity to face adversity, to come through it, and to heal. We all think we know how to live good lives. What's trickier is how to handle death, how to be with the dying and hold their pain and fear in our hearts. And then let them go.” – Marissa Moss
Fast paced, suspenseful, and unputdownable!
Jane Hawk is a character who is intelligent, empathetic, bold, & someone you would want watching your back! Looking forward to book #2 in Koontz's latest series.
Destined to become a dystopian classic! I was swept up with the main protagonists, and was kept guessing until the end of the book!

@robinmarty thank you for this informative read & for demystifying & destigmatizing abortion care. I appreciated your explanation on the difference between reproductive rights and reproductive justice.

The audiobook reader was super!
A fascinating, but depressing story of The Gold family - cursed, disconnected, and yearning for love and acceptance. How could so much bad happening to one family?
Annie and Polly's unusual friendship makes you appreciate life: the precious, the painful, and the powerful!
Listening to Trevor Noah tell his story of growing up in South Africa is a stunning combination of raw honesty, resiliency, pathos, and humor. His courage shines throughout.
Poignant, personal, powerful prose.
Makes you think, feel, contemplate, and want to take action.
Thank you Clint Smith!

Emika Chen takes us on a ride and it never slows down! I am not a Gamer,

Kept me guessing until the cliff hanger ending!
Appeal Factors: Character, Romance, Humor, and Tone
Follow the 18th-century escapades of Henry “Monty” Montague, expected to be a gentleman by his family, but wanting to play the rogue, and in love, he thinks, with his best friend, Percy Newton. Monty and Percy set off on the Grand Tour of Europe which quickly devolves into a swashbuckling, penniless adventure of being chased and chasing their hunters. Will Monty and Percy escape? Will Monty confess his love for Percy? Prepare to be delighted with Mackenzi Lee's historical fiction romp, and the swoonablity factor of Monty's potential romance with Percy. As an aside, Monty's sister, Felicity, is a resourceful, intelligent, and fierce companion throughout the book, and will be the main character in Lee's second book in the series: The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy.
PS: The audio version performed by Christian Coulson is delectable!

Compelling and compassionate! I appreciated the humor and the honesty of the conversations between the parents and their 5 children. Looking forward to reading other Frankel novels.
