so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️ …meh 🤷🏻♀️ You can definitely tell this written was before KH found her niche. I also kept asking myself, “have I read this before?” Like everything sounded so familiar but I think that‘s just another word for basic. Idk how Elizabeth stood Jack, his parts were hard to read.. ugh, men 🙄 wasn‘t my favorite
“Moments of extreme joy or sorrow always feel surreal and incredible, which tells us that life is mostly a voyage of mundanity between distant, analogous shores of disbelief.”

The perfect reading rainstorm has just erupted here in Tennessee. A relaxing night of reading is ahead. 😌⛈📚
pickThis is EH‘s first book, and while I enjoyed it okay, you can tell her writing has come a long way. It feels a little clunky and I wasn‘t really a fan of any of the main characters, but if you like EH I‘d still recommend grabbing it from the library. 3.5⭐️

pickAnother tearjerker from EH! This one deals with the aftermath of a car crash on grad night in Nantucket, where promising student Penny gets killed and her twin brother is in critical condition. It was sad but compelling and I couldn‘t put it down. 4⭐️

pickI‘ve been on a huge Elin Hilderbrand kick lately and I really think her books are best consumed via #audiobook — they are more character driven and it‘s easier to pay attention, since sometimes it‘s hard not to let your mind wander while listening and multitasking. I loved this one because we got behind the scenes experience of working in a super fancy restaurant in Nantucket. It‘s nice seeing how the other half lives and the food descriptions ⬇️
pickNewest edition in the Unlimited Squirrels series: I recommend reading aloud, my favorite part "Hey corn! Hi corn!" Mo Willems is a genius for making reading fun. The emote-acorns generate vocabulary about feelings beyond happy or sad. And the pigeon makes an appearance every time. ?????
