I don’t think I want to read any more books by this author. I tried her last one and that was a DNF and this one was almost a DNF too but I pushed through. I didn’t like Josie at all, she was too much of a wallflower character.

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.

This had me going back and forth trying to guess what the ending was going to be the entire time! It kept me hooked!

I definitely recommend Say Everything to every elder millennial and GenX-er! So much gossip about all the cool kids of the 80s & 90s.

Once I entered the world of Jane Eyre, I was hooked. I can see why there is longstanding appeal of this romantic novel by Charlotte Bronte. The story of an orphan who survived adversity and emerged heroically never gets old. The somewhat antiquated style of writing was charming and easy to follow. The addition of lines of French monologue in spots only added to the allure of this book. There were copious notes in the back of the book that explained expressions used or elements of history with which the reader may not have been familiar. Though its length of 500+ pages may have seemed daunting, the pages flew by, enveloped by the love story of Jane and Mr. Rochester. Highly recommend.

I read this all by myself

At first I thought this book was very silly but once I got about 1/2 way through it got better. I started to like Vera more and see her transform and develop.

I adored this book! The protagonist's "voice" comes through so strongly and distinctively in the first-person narration, and I love the contemporary take on the more traditional epistolary genre. The story is well paced and makes for quite a page-turner. I appreciate the inclusion of supportive educators. The subject matter also remains extremely timely and pertinent in the context of current sociopolitical events. I highly recommend it - and would love to know whether Rachel Maddow herself has read it!

I loved this book. It was like a walk down memory lane as he describes the roles he did and his journey through Hollywood.

I enjoyed this book - I loved putting together the sights and scents in my head and feel I could smell them. I enjoyed how she incorporated Grace Kelly with a beautiful store of a local parfumerie. I will say I was surprised by some turn of events before the passing of Grace Kelly, but it was a nice story
