I really loved the characters and the plot! First five star read of the year for me. I loved the fairytale aspect of the plot and the main characters.

If I could rate this book zero stars I would. It has the stereotypical romance plot and I didn’t like either Rue or Eli. There were past characters from her other books mentioned in this but I would rather read one of those than this one. This is my second book of hers and it wasn’t for me.

Good book. Fun to read. Great characters. Interesting story line. Great anticipation. Excellent dialog.

It was a good book

Amazing book, filled with action and activity! Good book for people who love action packed books! So good!

I love it I think everyone should read it

A blend of the real and the supernatural, the book poses the question: what if you could have one last meal with someone you've lost? A really unique concept and an interesting story. Well-written.

A look at the people who work in the warehouse and sales floor at a Target-like store. Amid the personal conflicts and friendships, the reader learns a bit about how the "back end" of this type of store works.

Cleaver ending ! All the characters get what is coming to them . Wickedly delightful classic husband verse wife. I wish the power of the house was better explained however as the crossroads did not seem to be enough explanation

I read this book based on our book club's recommendation and also as it was a library staff pick. While told in its own unique way, the plot reminded me of so many things that have happened/are happening in society and the world. I got the impressions of COVID and anti-Asian sentiments, the removal and separation of children from Native Americans as well as their return from successful adoptions, separation of immigrant families at the border, etc. The "Crisis" and PACT were universal in their meaning as was the resulting abuse of power and tendency to look the other way. The way Celeste Ng told the story through the eyes of young Bird was very interesting, and the young adult fiction book, "The Giver", kept coming to mind.
