If you can have a book set in hospice with a happy ending, this was it. So sad, but somehow also feel good.

I think I liked this book, but I also need someone to explain it to me.

I thought the first in the series was pretty good, same with second. I loved this one!! Can‘t wait for another one.

Slow and character driven. Really no plot, but it was enjoyable.

Amy and Isabelle | Elizabeth Strout

I think everything Strout writes is so powerful. This was disturbing to read because of the teacher/student romance, but so moving.

CuriousG I was *so* incredibly disturbed by this book, but the writing is definitely powerful. 3y

I‘m sure it‘s fine, but other books came up on my library hold list and it wasn‘t holding my interest enough to prioritize.

I liked it fine, but it was a lot of@uncomfortable teen sex and three books from my hold list came up, so I quit it.

marleed Haha. I watched the Hulu series while dog-sitting for my son and DIL. My DIL mentioned to a friend that while there this was on my Hulu list. Her friend laughed and said, you know your Mother-in-law watched soft porn from your couch. So funny. It kind of was, too. 4y

One of the best books I‘ve read since Homegoing. Deep and thoughtful but easy to read. Such a study in culture and family.

Listened to the audio book, read by the author. Funny at times and moving at times.

Loving Frank: A Novel | Nancy Horan

This is possibly the worst book I‘ve ever read. The boring plot and excessive wordiness are as pretentious and unlikable as the characters.

I didn‘t finish it. The first story was fine, but not enough to hold my interest when there are other books on my bedside table.
