Really fun read. Plot-driven, moves at a great pace, was everything I’d hoped the book would be. Flashbacks weren’t intrusive to the current plot events, nor too numerous; anytime we departed the main action for some backstory it was equally captivating. This is the kind of book that makes me delighted to know it’s a series.

It was fine, though not this author’s best. The characters never cohered, but the climactic moments were exciting.

I usually enjoy Reese's Book Club picks and The House in the Pines was an enjoyable book although not what I expected. The book is written in third person with the main protagonist being a young 25-year-old named, Maya. When she was eighteen, Maya dated a man named Frank and she seemed to lose significant periods of time when with him. A key event is when Maya's best friend, Aubrey, just died for no reason when having a conversation with Frank. Fast forward to 7 years later when Maya was 25 and saw a video on social media where the same Frank is in a booth at a diner in Maya's hometown of Pittsfield, MA, and the woman across from him also suddenly dies while just talking to Frank. While depicted as a thriller, the book is just about Frank's interesting ability (no spoiler alert). My favorite parts of the book dealt with Maya's Guatemalan background, her late father, and her visits to Guatemala City.

Wicked and delightful! Excited to read more by this author . The story came full circle and without less ends

This book is truly a masterpiece, depicting the tragedies of the Holocaust, and creating a powerful voice for the future.

I thought the part with the pill and the cake was really funny.

The Penderwicks in spring deserves 5 stars because the author made it so interesting for the reader and heartfelt to the reader

I gave this book 2 stars. The story was super predictable—I figured out the twist pretty early. But even though I knew what was coming, I still wanted to see how it all played out. The setting was creepy and the vibes were tense, which helped keep things interesting. It’s a quick read, and if you like thrillers with controlling-relationship drama, it might be your thing. For me, it just didn’t have anything new or surprising. I was hoping for more twists or deeper characters, but it was just okay. Not bad, but not great either.

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!

I really enjoyed this one. It was interesting to read about a bookseller who has a rare book collection. I liked both of the main characters and I am going to read the next two books in the series.
