1-My sister that was 10 years older than me-she was so sweet and kind and took care of me as if I was her daughter💞
2-My own 3 daughters—they keep me ‘young‘ and make sure I stay healthy and make me laugh💖
3-I loved the Austins from the Madeleine L‘Engle series. They are so real!

4th book read from the Women‘s Prize for fiction long list. Mixed feelings with this one. It was beautifully written but I didn‘t find a well integration in the story, specially the first parts. In some parts I just lost interest because I felt author was jumping from one topic to another🤷🏽‍♀️Let‘s see if it included in the short list. It didn‘t work for me as I expected 3⭐️

1. I‘m a suburbs person. I‘ve lived in the suburbs my whole life. My other house I lived in from the time I was little to 18 yrs old was in the suburbs. In 2010, my mom and I moved to another house in the suburbs and we‘ve lived here ever since.

2. I read the tagged book a long time ago with a neighborhood book club I used to be in and they said that this book reminded them of our neighborhood because it‘s set in the suburbs.

I mostly kept reading just to find out what happened to the missing father. Mia's rambling digressions were charming at first but then became tiresome. I skimmed a lot. Good writing, interesting characters, not my favorite plot structure.

April 22 #SpringSkies Tragedy I am reading this one now. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I loved the plot structure of this book and its slow unravel. Recounted as a story told by a mother to her daughters and layered up with their contemporary opinions all set in the recent timeline of the 2021 pandemic. I particularly loved how the narrator held back some of the more personal truths, precious memories she‘d saved only for herself but lucky you (the reader) is let in on these. 💗

This was recommended to me a few years ago, but I never got around to reading it. The sequel came out recently, and I finally decided to read this one and I absolutely loved it. All of the characters were great and the ending had me on an emotional roller coaster and I just loved it so much. I can‘t wait to read the next one.
