The Good Part | Sophie Cousens

November 25, 2025 Page 222 Sam shares some sad news with Lucy even though he knows that she has lost memory. Sam tells Lucy that she had given birth to a baby girl named Chloe but Chloe did not survive. He even brings up photos of the baby, her and the baby, Felix and the baby, and Sam with the baby. Looking at the pictures causes Lucy to feel emotional.

This hit so many good notes for me, haha, it's cosy and full of some great characters that feel real and homey.

I loved the family connection, it feels like what I know within my own family and even the sibling ribbing is on point and real.

The whole book in itself was rooted in reality with its quiet moments, serious conversations, worry, confusion, trepidation, growth, love, and open understanding.

“The world must be all fucked up”, he said then, “when men travel first class and literature goes as freight.”

Looking forward to bookclub discussion of this sprawling history of mythical Macondo & Buendia family.

Some amazingly lyrical passages! But I have mixed feelings because it is most definitely a “labyrinth of kinship”, which at times can get tedious. Nonetheless, I suspect with rumination this is a novel that is going to stick with me.

sisilia I struggled with this one and stopped after the first few chapters 🤓 2d
Tamra @sisilia I totally get why you would bail. I may have had it not been for bookclub. It was worth the effort in terms of the ideas & lyrical passages, but I wasn‘t feeling compelled to pick it up for the joy of reading. 2d

I think I went into this one with extremely high expectations (I LOVED Lula Dean‘s Little Library of Banned Books) and found myself disappointed. I‘m all about witchy premises and powerful women, but the ending felt rushed, anticlimactic, and almost kind of a let down (without giving away anything). The story slowly unfolds, and the reader encounters many women in the same family and their stories to fight for justice and/or succumb to male…⬇️⬇️⬇️

Librarybelle ⬆️⬆️⬆️…domination or trickery…it could get a little confusing and a little long. And when the action does finally happen, well, as I said, it‘s a little ho hum. I listened to this one and do enjoy January LaVoy‘s straightforward performance. She has a good narrative voice that moves the story forward. I would probably have bailed on the book if not for her narration. 2d
DGRachel Oh no! I bought this recently and was really looking forward to it. 😭 2d
Librarybelle @DGRachel I know other readers who liked it! It may be because I listened to it rather than reading it. 2d

I loved “The Change“ and while this one was not quite as good, it was still a wonderfully fun read. Set in the same world, but not quite a sequel, it can be read on its own. This witchy feminist story is about a family of women who try to right the wrongs of the world by doing away with the very wealthy men who have ruined the climate to satisfy their greed. Also in the mix are family drama, romance and humor. Thanks to Edelweiss+ for the ARC. 4/5

While this is not my favorite of Webber‘s books, I still enjoyed the characters and the story. I think it‘s not my favorite because the two male love interests, Jake and Callum, aren‘t really fully drawn. Reny, who‘s a side character, is much more interesting. #audiowalk

🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂 I love Kirsten Miller‘s books, although The Change probably remains my all time favorite. The history of the witch family, the revenge fulfillment of feminine rage, and the ties to some familiar faces made this a 5 ⭐️ read and my fav of the week!

Read4life Nice. I‘ll have to check out this author. 💙🍁💙 1w
