panYes, the cover is eye catching but there wasn‘t very much substance given the title. It felt choppy, like random ideas about a character‘s life were thrown together and was published as a book. If you ask me a week later about this book, I probably couldn‘t tell you anything.

Just…WOW🤯
so-soI thought this was good. I liked Nina‘s parents, and I liked many of the pop culture references. I was a bit confused that there was something at the beginning that never seemed to be tied up, though. I kept wondering if it would resurface later in the book, but it didn‘t – unless I missed it.

so-soThe book only follows just over one week. It took longer than I liked to get to the explosion. Leading up to it wasn‘t nearly as interesting as the explosion itself and the aftermath, but not long after, it concluded mostly with their regular lives again. If there had been more focus on the disaster, I would have enjoyed it more, I‘m sure. There was an afterword by another “classic” Canadian author, Alistair Macleod.
