I loved how they made cupcakes that they liked best. I love cupcakes.

This had a twist I was not expecting at all! I loved how this deviated a bit from Sager’s normal vibe.

This book had me in tears by the end of it. It was almost like I could feel the pain of the characters seeping through the pages. By far one of the best books I have ever read.

A friend recommended this book saying it was very funny. I did smile a few times, but I didn’t find it very funny. A woman moves from Kansas into a small oyster shack on the east coast. She becomes very involved with the town government primarily by writing email complaints to the town manager.

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.

Quirky characters fill this unique story about four half siblings who go in search of their father—who disappeared from each of their individual families to start his life over. Offbeat and funny, sometimes poignant, and entertaining throughout.

Everyone should read it. I really liked how Skye got a chance to be OAP (oldest available Penderwick) and how Roslind had a break

My first feminist theory book. Really interesting! Great insight mixed with humor. Never got bored. Will be reading her other books. Recommend totally.

This was a cute, easy beach read and follow up to It Happened One Summer. The central relationship was a little frustrating at times, but I loved the characters (especially Hannah!)

I wouldn’t recommend reading this one. I only liked the detectives character in this but I didn’t enjoy reading from all the different points of view.
