I loved this. Some aspects of it reminded me of the 1990s movie Casper. I enjoyed the story very much. Narrated very well. The main female character irked me in the beginning but when she smartened up I was relieved. I adored her friends, the 80s era, the music, the history, and of course the love story. Beware, this ends on a cliffhanger.

This week's #middlegrademonday theme is inspired by our family's trip to the ER this weekend that ended in an appendectomy for my son! I also love the tagged book- a heartfelt story about a girl dealing with her mother's illness. I'd love to hear your recommendations!

My second medical literature of this year!
Written in verse-form, a story of an Indian-American girl on the two worlds she belongs to and how she navigates and understands that while coming to terms with her mother‘s illness.

This short book tells the story of an unnamed young woman, wife of a distant North East Scottish farmer. When 3 Italian pow's are posted on the farmland she builds a relationship with them. Beautifully told but also sparse in substance this was a bk I enjoyed + suspect needs a reread. Was recommended when I was on a janice Galloway 3 bk session + I heard her rave about it. I'd recommend for a gentle read with lots to think abt + writing to enjoy

Just watched Brats, the documentary on Hulu and this book was mentioned in it. The documentary was interesting and so well done. Now I have to read this because I am a huge fan of those films and the actors that were part of The Brat Pack.

@dabbe I went through the list rather quickly, but work got in the way of me sharing.

I've seen 68 of the 100 movies, and these are my Top 5:

Porky's (watched way too young and still going)
Look Who's Talking
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Twins
The Goonies

They're all so quotable. I was born in 1979, so I leaned more to the comedies than those with a more serious tone.

Emotional first-generation American story tied up with mother-daughter relationship. Get tissues!
