book cover


One by One is the first book I've read by Freida McFadden. Its written in the first person. The story involves 3 couples who embark on a camping trip to a resort in the woods. Their vehicle breaks down enroute and one by one people just start disappearing. The plo gos back and forth. I did not care for the author's writing style.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Raina Telgemeir books and this one was no exception. Even though it was a very simple story, I loved experiencing Cat grow into her new town and get more comfortable with their obsessed with ghosts. This was an easy, fun read and I loved it.

5 ?? Zott is the bomb. She’s a badass, doesn’t care about other people’s opinions-she’s strong willed, fights for what she wants and does as she pleases. This was a fun read with such a great ending. Mad is fab. Same sass as her mama. Six-Thirty, need to get me a pup like him!

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!

OMG! This book was filled with unexpected moments. It kept me engaged...I read it in 2 days. There were a few parts that I genuinely was confused with. After going on a few different book review sites, it turns out that most people were confused at the same parts. Otherwise, it was a great book. Can't wait to read sequel...The Perfect Divorce.

Recitatif

5 stars I decided to read the story then the introduction by Zadie Smith first and it was really insightful. This book is told in the perspective of Twyla and we see her and Roberta at the age of eight at shelter, years later in life, and a few after that. What we are told from the beginning is that one is black and one is white: the only way to tell the difference is based on their experiences and relationships. After reading Zadie Smith’s introduction, it really got my brain to thinking. Now I don’t want to spoil events in this short story so i’ll put it like this: Studies showed that white readers believe Twyla is white and black readers think vise versa. I believe she is passing. Roberta for sure I felt was black, based on descriptions of her, her mom and what she was doing. But the reason for feeling that Twyla is black, but white passing is due to descriptions of her mom wearing powder (which if you know about history on slaves, when they were gifted to the slave master’s daughter: to distinguish them from the field slaves they wore powders to make themselves lighter), her not knowing about Jimi Hendrix, her braiding Roberta’s hair. Small details I notice along the way and Zadie Smith’s insight as well. But in all this for sure is a 5 star read for me.

Great summer reading. Starting over with new loves and betrayal. I was always hungry reading this book as it referenced so many yummy sandwiches. Characters in their 30s/40s. Lots of secrets too.
