I remember when the author was doing a ton of PR for this and now there's nothing. It totally needs to be yelled about some more bc it was really good!! A story of the musketeers after the OG Ms have "retired". Tania is the daughter of a musketeer and has longed to be the heroine of her father's stories. The problem? Her mother's worry and her poor health. A story with #disability rep, sisterhood, ⚔️ fights, challenging ourselves, and self-love

That‘s a wrap! So far 2023 has been pretty good to me. I‘ve had a handful of 4 & 5 star reads, and only a couple of 1-2 stars. The tagged book was so much fun, and now I want to read The Three Musketeers. 💖

Off to put together a list for week 2 of #Jumpstart2023. 👻

For a few reasons, including that I‘m not at all hip to current YA, it‘s hard for me to judge this book. But I don‘t think I need to: if this story sounds up your alley, I‘d bet it is! One for All is a gender-bent retelling of The Three Musketeers, with not only dueling but dancing; equal parts sword fights and seduction. The central characters are four girls who all have boundless courage, tremendous loyalty, and weapons under their skirts. ⤵️

tenar It‘s also the first novel about a character with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), a common, difficult, and often misdiagnosed illness that affects me, the author, (the audiobook narrator!) and millions worldwide. As the author writes, the teenage protagonist having POTS is the least fantastical element of the story. But never having seen this part of myself on the page, it did feel more than a little magical. #DisabilityReadathon 2y
