A great story about love, family. A couple who spent their life together entertain, to sing, to dance. The O'Hurleys started out with a family of one boy when Mrs. O'Hurley went into labor while in route to one of the shows. To the family's surprise triplets were born, all girls. The children were raised to travel on the road taught to sing, dance and entertain just as their parents were. As they grew up, they all choose different lives. The bond the trippets had remained strong. Obstacles in life, divorces and finding love again, first loves the family always was there for one another.

I got this book from the library, and two days ago I got a notice saying it would expire in 2 days. I was going to return it, but then I got bored in class once, and I started reading it and liked it. I am really happy I read it because it is my first 5-star read of the year. This book made me feel the same way Daisy Jones & the Six made me feel. That feeling is manipulation. Both of these books made me feel that they were based on real stories, and I am shocked that it is not. I like the different pieces of media we read, such as Em's point of view, Mari's letters, podcasts, books, websites, and more. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes mysteries and thrillers.

1984

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.

From the cover this looks like an easy, breezy beach read but when you open the book there is an immediate trigger warning for suicide. I enjoyed this story of group of collegiate friends and how they deal with the challenges of grief, life and what might have been.

None Shall Sleep

Ok, so you are kidding me right now. I was so excited about this and thought it would be so good but it did not meet my expectations. I was hooked and then I was not and then I was and then I was not. I felt the storyline and plot were not as consistent as they should have been. I am in between rating this a one and a two star but I think it is a one. I would have rated it a two if they ended up kissing but that never happened so now I am upset. I kind of hope there is another one after this since they get another opportunity at the end of the book. I might read if there is one.

I was so excited to find a Richard Paul Evans book I had not read! I finished it in one day. This is a very touching, realistic story of forgiveness-- even after the loved one had passed. We can all use this wisdom in our lives.

What if You and me

rated: 3.5 The book actually looks so romantic but it also has a reaally interesting story which revolves around the lead characters wh are trying to overcome their fears and misconceptions of life. And its really heart-warming to read when they actually do it and they enjoy their new beginnings with a very fresh perspective.
