pickThis book caught my eye at the checkout counter at a bookstore, so I borrowed the audiobook from the library and I don't regret it. I didn't realize the intended audience skewed a bit younger, but it was a wonderful tale with a beautiful voice that touched on a difficult subject in a way that didn't minimize the different forms of heartache that manifest around it.
Its almost funny, me wanting to forget the "everything that happened," when that was exactly where I was still stuck. Maybe the only way to get unstuck was to remember.
Sometimes a stretch of sorrow can make you serious, unsure of who you are on the other side of it all.
pickThis is a story of a family dealing with some big things which come out slowly over the course of story. It‘s told in alternating chapters from the perspective of Ernest, one of the boys in the family who loves words, and Olivetti, the family‘s typewriter. The typewriter makes for an interesting point of view, and the story includes a wonderful group of characters.

pickThe more and more I think about this book. The more i like it.
I was very "meh" about it at first. Too predictable and all of the characters are very unlikeable. But McFadden really weaved some stuff in there that had me revisiting it for a couple days after finishing.
Not like her other books - it wasn't my favorite of hers, but it was certainly done quite well.

pick4 ⭐The story is simple and lovely. It‘s about how moms do everything. They are the bright shining moon in the world that their kids gravitate towards. Without Mom‘s where would we be.
so-soThis was my least favourite book of Freida McFaddens but I did start and finish it in a day 🤣 I found it felt predictable and some parts felt unnecessary. I still love her as an author tho 😂🥰
