This was a very entertaining book! Alice Feeney’s books always keep me guessing and have twists I can never truly guess at accurately. I was a little confused with how the stories came together at the end, however.

A blend of the modern day and the historical. Set on (fictional) Winthrop Island, the book flips back and forth between the present day lives of Audrey, her actress mother, and her bartender father, and a November night in 1846, when the steamship Atlantic gets caught in a storm, suffers a catastrophic disaster, and sinks in Long Island Sound. This book does have some characters from other books of Williams', but can be read as a stand-alone as well. Great summer vacation read: engaging story + historical substance.

I loved this book. I could stop reading, its leaving me eager to start the second. As always this is a classic Rick Riordan book, with all his humor.

This book is so helpful for any teen interested in growing their financial literacy and independence

i love this book its really informative and dives into the history and world of quidditch. and it helps me understand the world of harry potter that little bit more

Decent follow up from book 1. Likable characters. Somewhat predictable ending. Will follow up with book 3

Struck me as too Sex and the City/ Real Housewives superficial treatment of superficiality. Didn’t care enough about any of the characters for any of the tragedies in the plot to hit as such. Was surprised to be this disappointed.

I chose this book as part of the 2024 reading challenge for July, a book by an author born outside the Unites States, and it was also in the "New Fiction" area which I always peruse. This was an excellent read by the author who lives in Japan and who had this work translated. The chapters of the book were tales of life stories with life lessons and interconnections told in a very interesting, unique, and moving way. Every tale had a central figure, Mrs. Komachi. She was the local community center librarian with a penchant for felting and selecting just the right book for her patrons. Mrs. Komachi's felting materials were kept in a Honeydome cookie tin which was central to the book. I could continue to write more about how I liked this book, but suffice to say, it really made me think and reflect, and I will be looking for more books by this author if translated!

This was not like the first book at all. It was mindless banter between the Kai and Pae and I didn’t find that it advanced the plot at all. The ending was predictable and I didn’t like reading Kits pointless chapters. I could have easily skipped reading this book.

I enjoyed reading this. So far I have read all 15 other books in this series and this one was good. Not my favorite but I liked it and I hope that there is another one after this one.
