This was a very slow read. I wasn’t a huge fan of either Shiloh or Cary. I would have liked the back and forth timeline more if the past chapters didn’t keep jumping all around so much. I liked Shiloh’s kids more than I liked her.

As a former tennis player, I just loved this book. The author again (like in all her books) makes everything seem so real with all her research into the subject. Highly recommend!

This book had a lot of adventure!

Already left a review for this week when I posted my previous time. I still feel the same about the book-good read but not one of my favorite books by this author.

A fun, light romance. It was a cute read. A few moments that kind of took me out of the storyline, but overall I enjoyed it for what it is.

Entertaining book about an American woman working on her postgrad lit degree in London. Struggling to pay her bills, and tutoring wealthy kids as a side job, she is swept into the world of the ultra-wealthy. It's a pretty nice place, at least materially, and she begins to do more and more things to stay there--until there's a reckoning. More than just fluff, there's depth to the characters and plenty of Austen references.

Finished, and it was not bad but the main characters didn’t feel real or well developed. Not the big ending to the series I was expecting.

I enjoyed the overall concept of this book, especially the conclusion of the adventure at the end. However, I found it lacked in enough action and suspense to keep me truly engaged.

This book is an historical fiction that takes place in Lisbon, Portugal during WWII. The descriptions of life in Lisbon kept my interest, but the characters and the story were exciting and comical. I felt I understood that even in dangerous times, people can find a way to use their talents and enjoy working with others toward a common goal.

These poems are the words I did not know I needed. “ Challenge your own guilt about things you do not control. Tell it to hush.” Page 33 from Challenge . Anderson’s poems inspire peace and reassurance that it is okay to just be and you are a part of nature . His poems depict his own struggles with anxiety and depression, inspiring a connection that you are not alone in your struggles.
