Welcome to Litsy!

This book follows a family helmed by a conservative Christian 7th Day Adventist father and his goes along wife and their kids, especially the youngest, Patsy. We see them across decades, through secrets and hypocrisies. I really liked this. I think this is Zevin‘s debut and I‘m not surprised it‘s good.

Beach vacation book #3

This was first published in 2010 but was just re-released yesterday. Audio narration was excellent and the story had a lot going for it. Towards the middle it lost some of its charm but ultimately the book proved to be satisfying. The story of a family dealing with financial, emotional and spiritual challenges that continue to ripple over the decades. Writing was fresh & clever in some spots, but at other times it became more of a challenge.

Did anyone know a new Gabrielle Zevin novel came out today?? Apparently I preordered this audio( and another) and I couldn‘t be happier!!! This one is GREAT so far ☺️ #TreatYoSelf
****UPDATE***** This book is apparently a re-release 🤷🏼‍♀️but I‘m still enjoying it 💕

It is lucky she thinks that we don't feel all the love inside us every moment. We couldn't breathe or walk or eat. It is lucky that it just flares up every now and again then resolves itself into a manageable dormancy.
