so-so*Warning* negativity will follow!
CoF could have benefitted from some serious editing, less character povs and less hype. Don't get me wrong, I did like parts of the book, but some character povs were unnecessary, the ending felt chaotic and unfinished and there was a huge chunk in the middle which really didn't do it for me.
I would be interested in seeing what Hallberg publishes next, unless it is as long as this one.

I know I'm miles behind most of you doing a #TBRbingo right now (though I did get a bingo way back in February for the #litsyreadingchallenge), but I've checked off my first square!

pickMy cousin recommended this to me a couple of weeks ago and I'm so glad I gave it a try. I was absolutely enthralled by this memoir! It was very well written and read more like fiction than non-fiction. I'm looking forward to seeing it translated onto the big screen. #LitsyReadingChallenge #LRC12 (largely set in the 1970s) #LitsyAtoZ #LetterG
pickNora's keeping secrets and lying so no one will know what's going on at home. Her younger brother is becoming more violent and abusive. Her mother is in denial and worries about what outsiders think. Everything comes to a boil at home as NYC deals with a heatwave, a blackout, and a serial killer on the loose.
I loved this book. The characters are well developed and the setting is great. #litsyreadingchallenge #LRC12 #maybookflowers Day 10 #lies
"Maybe the things that scare us seem more powerful than they truly are when we keep them secret."
This book was fantastic with well developed characters, a fascinating setting, and a great story of how we choose to share our lives with our friends and family.

pickIf you want to read a story about romance and honourable men, do not read this book. If you want a story #basedinthe1970's with thief-in-training coming into her own, read this graphic novel. #lrc12
