I liked this; giving it a pick. Heard say that this might not be the author‘s best work so I guess I am impressed enough to try more of her stories.

I laughed at times, and I cried at the end. I appreciated that explanations were deftly unrolled as the tangled histories were discovered. This book was what I needed right now. #Apr2025 Book35

Pic of Wisteria, I adore Wisteria and would LOVE to have some in my yard. 🌺❤️

This was more action than other Klune books I‘ve read, but that worked for me. The story is engrossing and I enjoyed the characters. But I have some quibbles. The biggest is that there‘s a cute drawing on every chapter page that is actually a major spoiler, and I really didn‘t like that. Also, the overuse of italics for emphasis is insulting to the reader and the bashing of vegan food was old before it started.

I'm going to review bomb Litsy as the last 4 books I have read have been either 4.5 or 5 star reads. My most recent read is the tagged, the second novel in Aubyn's novel cycle comprised of 5 books. In his early 20s Patrick is summoned from London to NYC due to his father's death. In the grips of a drug addiction & despising his father (ironically becoming more like him the older he becomes) this book was the (CONT)

vivastory equivalent of peeking through fingers. With three more books left in the cycle, I'm curious to see where Patrick's journey takes him. 6d

I was first introduced to this author TJ Klune by reading the cerulean sea. I love that book so much that clone became an auto became not just an auto read but an auto by author for me. My problem is I haven‘t liked his subsequent books nearly as much as the cerulean sea. I like this one but think I like Klune is best when he uses a lighter touch to say a lot, and this one was heavy.

Erinreadsthebooks I completely agree! I missed the humor of Cerulean Sea. In my opinion, that‘s his greatest strength as an author and I‘ve wanted much more of that in his more recent books. 1w
marleed @Erinreadsthebooks Klune‘s been an auto buy author for me. I think I‘ll keep him an auto read but remove him from auto buy. 7d

I needed an audiobook - this popped up available from Libby. I have finally put my Audible acct on pause. First time to read this author. #SpringTulips 🌷

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3.5/5)

I went in hoping that this would have heartwarming and cozy vibes like “The House in the Cerulean Sea”, “Under the Whispering Door”, and “In the Lives of Puppets”, and was left a bit disappointed. Yes, there is still that found-family trope and Artemis Darth Vader‘s humor that I loved, but this is a darker and more adult version of the previously mentioned books. I could have also done without the graphic sexual context as well.

Deblovestoread I just saw this. So excited! 4w
tpixie @mcctrish @CSeydel @Deblovestoread I thought I‘d read Book 2 closer to book 3. I read too many books so I have a harder time remembering them. I think when I was younger, after I read a book I thought about it a lot more, which helped me remember them plus, I didn‘t read as many! 4w
Chelsea.Poole Ooh thanks for the post! I read book two but I didn‘t love it as much as the first one. I‘ll probably stick with it and see what happens in the third. 4w
tpixie @Chelsea.Poole hopefully the third will be a satisfying read! 4w
CSeydel Oh yeah that makes sense 4w
GatheringBooks Ooh! Thank you so much for sharing and for the tag! I already have book 2, and will now pre-order book 3. 4w
CBee @tpixie oooo book 3!! I need to get to #2 soon. 4w
BarbaraBB I had no idea there would be a third book! I still need to read the second one and fortunately it‘s my April #Roll100 book! 4w
squirrelbrain Like most others, I haven‘t read book 2 yet. #toomanybookstoolittletime 4w
tpixie @BarbaraBB that works out nicely! 💙🩵💙 4w
tpixie @squirrelbrain me either. If I do I‘ll read it right before the 3rd. Otherwise, it may just heighten my Mount TBR!! ⛰️ 4w
Lesliereadsalot Can‘t wait! I love these characters. 4w
tpixie @Lesliereadsalot yes! It kind of reminds me of this author that also writes about a community 4w
Lesliereadsalot Will definitely look into her books! 4w
CSeydel Checked it out today from Libby 📖📲 3w

This was fantastic! A young teen meets her father for the first time when she goes to spend the summer with him in the brownstone he‘s renovating. They navigate language barriers and she feels like a major outsider in the neighborhood. Very sweet story.

Once again TJ Klune has pulled me into a world and characters that I do not want leave.

My only critic was the sex scene pulled me out of the story for a minute. I typically love some spicy moments and some hot sex in my reads but this just didn‘t add anything or move the story for me this time.
