I usually like Kasie West's YA fare because she writes characters whose problems feel real/regular to me. There's drama, but it's not over the top. Like most of her books, we have a MC who needs to learn to get out of her comfort zone a little, find some balance in her life, and be willing to wrestle some of her inherent prejudices. There's also some great snark and fun characters. An enjoyable read, even if it didn't really bring anything new ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) to the table. Also - last book of 2024!!

The Devil in the White City: A Saga of Magic and Murder at the Fair that Changed America | Erik Larson

I thought this book was fascinating. It tells the true story of the creation of the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago as well as the story of the serial killer H H Holmes and how he used the Fair to attract more victims.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 4mo

Lcsmcat When my book club read this I was fascinated by how we divided into those who liked the crime part best and those who liked the fair. No one liked both parts equally. 4mo

julieclair I really enjoyed this one when I read it several years ago. And @Lcsmcat I was definitely in the pro-fair group. 🎡 4mo
