I really wanted to like this end of life story, but the writing style was so distracting that I found it hard to stay in the story.

I think this was a Litsy recommendation last year. Cool cover and premis.
I have to say, it took effort to get past the first 50 or so pages as there seemed to be loads of characters and their names changed depending on who was with them. But reading larger chunks helped somewhat. Then I discovered the cute family tree at the back...
It was a truly heartfelt story, influenced by the author's family, and I became invested in the relationships.

I‘m in #SanDiego California for work and was able to go to this super cool local bookstore, Mysterious Galaxy.💫📚

They specialize in fantasy, sci-fi, YA, mystery, and horror. Awesome atmosphere and inventory, plus really great staff. They recommended the tagged book for those who like gothic haunting stories.

Oh, and you can‘t beat the views or the weather here. Wish I could stay longer!

Nate walked the artwork over to a blank spot on the wall that he‘d prepared for it. As he did, he knew one thing for sure. Sam would have loved it.

Karen Rose gives her readers impressive characters and a malicious villain, leaving you on pins and needles throughout the novel and absolutely stunned at the ending.

It is hot and dusty where we live. Some people think it's dirty but they don't know much about us. They haven't seen our gardens full of lemongrass, mint, cilantro, and basil. Driving by with their windows rolled up, they've only seen the pigeons pecking at day-old rice and the skinny cats and dogs sitting in the skinny shade of skinny trees. Have they seen the berries that we pick, that turn our lips and fingertips red?

Honestly, not great. Writing was meh. I mostly finished it because I own it and because it‘s set in the area I‘m staying. #sandiegosummer
