This was SO SWEET. It's such a great exploration of friendship and accepting each other's quirks and different ways of looking at the world. Really compassionate and wonderful.

While the "twist/reveal" at the end didn't quite work for me, Jackson is always a delight to read. This really has you on the edge of your seat the entire time!

This was beautiful and depressing and hopeful all at the same time. I'm really inspired by Indigenous communities and other river protectors fighting for the lives - and legal status - of rivers!

This was fascinating and sad. I was impressed with the people who committed so much of their time trying to find these missing hikers and even though I had a feeling that they wouldn't be found , it was still interesting to see the processes of searching.
I really appreciate that the author said that of course there is no way to know what the missing people were thinking and so she put, "I think" or "maybe" or "what if he thought XYZ" instead of the liberties that some true crime writers take with victims' thoughts. I REALLY hate that so I appreciated that she made it clear that was not her intention.
Finally, I think because she was a former park service police officer, she gave WAY too much credit to the cops in general, despite the fact that they didn't take these disappearances seriously and were bad at searching. They always got the benefit of the doubt!! You'd think she would see how utterly useless they were but I can see how her experience blinded her to that.

I really liked this! McLemore was so good at examining all that must come with being from an influencer family. They especially made me laugh all of the very plausible - or maybe just actually really - ridiculous products like face cream made of ground up opals and charities so that women re-entering the workface can get lash extensions! So good!

A sweet story about two girls becoming friends - and maybe more?! - while bonding over music. I really like the green, black and white palette. Excited to see where this goes.
