Welcome to Litsy!

I still liked her first book more but this one kept my mind off things for a few days. Most of the characters were a bit unlikable. I do like that Audrain is not afraid to highlight the difficult parts of raising kids. The hard part of being a mom but wanting to have a successful career. How parents sometimes don‘t know how to navigate a relationship with their child when their child is not what they expected. The difficulties of marriage, feeling

Good day to read inside.

“Isn‘t that just DARLING, darling?”

This is a darling book set in post WWII Washington and laced with girly friendships that could knock the socks right off of you with ferocity. Touch of murder, some spies and a Pilsbury Bake-Off.

“We all wear masks. We all have something to hide at one point or another.”

“How many ways, I think, can a girl be assaulted? I never got to live my life. I never got to live to be old enough, to be unattractive enough to be left alone. To finally just be.”

I have a strong suspicion that it will one day, as they say, go up in flames.

Family first, always.

Latest school bookclub book. I listened to it. I picked the killer out at the beginning. A soft pick. #LitsyAtoZ Letter W @Texreader

Probably one of my least favourite Freidas. It was however a good palette cleanser after a heavy series.

Really liked Lenny, a nearly 40 year old fifth grade teacher who has had one tough life and a peculiar view on living her challenging life. She‘s got so much to overcome yet her bravery pulls her forward and continues to change her life. This is a story of hope and love and living your best life. Thanks for recommending, Char. I would never have found this book without you!
