Once gain the storyline climaxes and builds on from the previous books in the series. Without giving to much I would like to say that it keeps you surprised and amazed at the contents of its creative descriptive writing. I can imagine the story come to life.

This book was about a girl named Noelle who was born on Christmas. She loves her birthday because she gets double everything but, that year it just seemed that she got double the problems instead. Her grandma thinks about giving up presents altogether. She also has tryouts for the Holiday Pageant and she wants a special part. Does she get the part she wants and have a good birthday? Read the book to find out!

Dear Child is a harrowing story about a father's search for his daughter and the disturbing truth behind her disappearance. There were moments where the father got on my nerves, but due to his tenacity, he helped get to the bottom of the mystery. I never would have guessed the ending on my own.

The early hour is framed as a time for yourself before the world wakes up.

This book was well-written. I enjoyed the characters and the stories. And, I enjoyed learning more about Palestinian-Americans. My one criticism is more about personal preference - this book read like a collection of short stories, with each chapter penned from the perspective of a different character. The stories didn't connect together all that well - sometimes, we'd see some of the same characters show up in multiple stories; other times, a major character from one story would show up as a minor character in another. I prefer a more congruent narrative. Some of the stories were more interesting than others or cut off right where there was potential to get more interesting. It was also a little confusing to follow the threads given the number of characters and the different timelines involved. I understand this format is a stylistic preference, but it's not my favorite. Still, there was a lot to appreciate here, and I would look forward to reading more from this debut author.

cute summer read, definitely recommend if you’re big on italian culture. quick romance, generally easy to guess what was going to happen. I wish there was more on Bruno’s backstory because his character just felt kind of flat. but a cute read, happy to have finished it!

This book was enjoyable to read. There was a lot of symbolism in the book, like the chocolate rations and 2+2=5, and it was fun noticing the references to things earlier said. It broke down how government authority (big brother) has the potential of manipulation by taking it to the absolute extreme. This got it's point across, but it also made some parts of the book (like newspeak and the 2 minutes hate) seem out of place and unrealistic to what an actual oligarch would look like.

It gives more word building to the twilight universe. I like learning about different characters

Brynne Weaver at it again, her third book in the series. Fion, the doctor, is so cute and Rose is absolutely a character you would love to have as a bff. Chaotic life=spicy romance.

This was a no for me. Not enjoyable and not at all what I expected.
