so-soI was very excited to read this book based on reviews. The premise is great - two very privileged NYC families where the two fathers are long time best friends. Something happens to one of the children that is creates conflict among the two couples and the four individuals. It was very slow to read and the story line meandered around and resolving the conflict was dragged out. The writing is exceptionally good which saved the day for me.
pickOne of my favorite ghost books. It's a how to be a friend with a ghost type book. The do's and don'ts, what to feed a ghost, etc. The story is wonderful and the art is just adorable!
pickOh yes, Shea is definitely best experienced in the full rainbow. I love that Unicorn thinks Goat is pretty great, and Goat thinks Unicorn is pretty great, but there is something a little concerning about Unicorn putting himself down in the same breath that he's admiring Goat's qualities. Goat thinks Unicorn is great, but does Unicorn know that? Unicorn seems like a happy beast, so I assume I'm reading too much into it. 1/2
These endpapers make me wish I could find the pattern in fabric. Happy little cupcakes! 🧁☺️
pickBad badger or something else? This is a story of discovering oneself and friendship. It is a slow, sweet story. Reminiscent to “Wind in the Willows” in regards to pacing and characters.
pickA slow-paced novel that was enjoyable. Missy Carmichael is an elderly woman who has lived a relatively good life. There are ups and downs along her path, the same as we all have. Kids all grown and live on their own. Lonely and needing to fill her life, the novel kept me turning pages. 4/5⭐️
