Very disappointed with the plot. I love a good woman in stem protagonist but this plot was really just an erotic novel.

Wrong Place Wrong Time
by Gillian McAllister

book cover


Although I usually enjoy time travel novels, I was not a fan of this one. I found it to be convoluted and disjointed. The character lines were poorly developed, in particular for the minor characters. Four separate times I had to go back to search out the characters to figure out their significance to the story. I read until the end, as I will never quit a book mid-way, but it was a disappointing read for me.

As a big fan of Ron Howard, I loved listening to him and his brother Clint describe their lives. From their parents first meeting to that last unspoken words. What a normal childhood they had and what fame & fortune did to and for them. I loved every minute of this book.

"Carry Me Like Water" by Benjamin Alire Sáenz is a powerful and moving novel that explores themes of identity, family, and connection across various divides. The book weaves together the stories of multiple characters, confronting issues of race, gender, and class while ultimately focusing on the journey of self-discovery and the search for belonging. Sáenz's narrative incorporates elements of Mexican Catholic and new age spiritual imagery, creating a unique and immersive reading experience that blends surrealism with profound emotional depth.
