pickLoved it! The version I had misspelled Sylvia Plath, a slightly egregious mistake on the part of the editor......but then again I got it at a used book sale and it was probably a copy sold to Ollies bargain outlet or something. I read it in two days. Loved every minute, from the flipping between past and present, to the beauty of the story. Left a few tears in my eyes toward the end. THIS is a great YA read! They will actually enjoy it!
My travel companion, Roar, has started to take an interest in my books in between photobombing pictures during my current trip. 😂
Finding Jake was an emotional rollercoaster. I figured out Jake‘s story pretty fast but still was not ready for when his father, Simon, started to put the pieces together and eventually finds him near the end.
so-soI didn‘t realize that this was about a school shooting when I picked it up. It was very sad and a different take on what could happen, but it missed a lot of the heart and I just didn‘t feel connected to the characters. Not bad, but definitely could have been better.
so-soThis book has a high rating on GoodReads but for me it missed the #🎯I was told it was similar to KEVIN but told through a dad's perspective. This book lacked the psychological, emotional and intellectual depth of Shriver's work. It's a fast read but I wasn't fully invested and even though it's short, I did skim at parts. Not a pan but a very underwhelming so-so. #emojinov

Some books from my TBR #ThrillerThursday although this genre is beginning to disappoint me....it's been a while since I read a really juicy thriller @Jess7
pickLoved this book. Such a moving take on a very tragic situation. Really puts the media and how people jump to conclusions into perspective. Not many take the time to consider the innocent families of these criminals.
pickThis was a quick easy read. It was a pretty compelling narrative with a decent conclusion. Stylistically it wasn't particularly adept, but it kept me entertained for a few evenings.
pickFictional account of modern day school shooting. Emotionally gripping. Read in one sitting. Appreciated the perspective of the stay at home father... 📚
pickWow, just wow... I'm numb, and reading the last chapter was very difficult through my tears. May need a few days to wrap my mind around the possibility of the reality of this one and come up with a better review.
I can not put this book down... I am completely enthralled with finding out what happened then, and what's gonna happen next. And I'm in awe, this is fiction? It's so believable its scary. One of my biggest fears in today's world is school shootings. I've done active shooting training in the past, and even tho I knew the guns had blanks and it was just a training, it was very intense!
Gonna try again to get a little reading in before dinner needs made and kids need taxied around... Shh, don't tell the cat...
pickThis was so incredibly well done. Flew through it, to the detriment of my work productivity.
pickWhat an emotional and tragic story which had me in tears.
