Life and Other Inconveniences | 
This is my book club book for this month. I enjoyed reading it but here‘s the weird part. The book ended in the middle of the chapter that was the turning point of the story. There was about 25 pages & 3 chapters that were completely left out. There was no indication that the pages had been torn out. I had to borrow the book from a friend to finish it. I also ended up taking it back to the store & they did tell me that this does sometimes happen.
pickGood on audible. I wasn‘t a fan of how end of life care was handled. It‘s a delicate subject but one that should be discussed, particularly with loved ones. Too often the person who is suffering and dying‘s wishes aren‘t heard because it‘s too hard for the family. I wish it was handled in a different manner but it is basically a light read so I‘ll give it a pass.
pickI like her using different perspectives to tell the story.
pickFinally finished and got a decent picture of a shawl I‘ve been working on. I get ever so much more knitting and reading done now that I‘ve figured out I can do them at the same time.
Book: Emma‘s a single mom, mostly raised by her standoffish grandmother, who had plenty of pain in her life. When her grandmother is dying, the family has a chance for reconciliation. But it‘s not easy to let go of the pain of the past.

This cover picture caught my eye.
Emma is the single mom of Riley. Emma lived with her grandmother Genevieve after her mother died. There‘s a definite Gilmore Girls vibe to their relationship. They haven‘t seen each other since Genevieve kicked Emma out when she got pregnant a week before graduating high school. Now, Genevieve is dying and wants Emma and Riley to spend the summer with her, promising to leave her estate to Riley.
I am finding that Emma is really a bit of a brat ... but im only on chapter 4 😐 like i feel like she is complaining about everything.
The main character is really starting to annoy me
Read Rush is this week and i have school 🥴
Time to prioritize stuffs
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I‘m sort of a late arrival to the books of Kristan Higgins, but each one I‘ve read so far has been delight and I think this one may be my favorite. It‘s a bittersweet novel about families, secrets, and forgiveness with wonderfully drawn and flawed characters. #kristanhiggins #lifeandotherinconveniences #bookrecommendations #contemporaryfiction #read
pickI love stories where you can relate to characters right from the start. Life and other Inconveniences draws you in instantly. Genevieve the grandmother is someone you‘ll love to hate until you get to know her. Laughing and crying as you read and then a surprising turn of events. I highly recommend this book to those who understand what life can throw at you at any time .
Just overly excited to get this book in the mail!!!! Thank you #penguinrandomhouse for a copy of #lifeandotherinconveniences by #kristinhiggins I cant wait to pick this up and read this and give my thoughts on it!!!
My pre order for #lifeandotherinconveniences arrived today. This book was released this week. I haven‘t read any of her books yet but I‘ve heard that they‘re good and the cover for this book is so cute. I quit my book club recently because it wasn‘t working out for me but this would have been a good book to recommend to them because they were choosing thought provoking books to read every month which was fine but I got tired of it.

A new novel by Kristan Higgins about a blue-blooded grandmother and her black-sheep granddaughter who discover they are truly two sides of the same coin.
