Kind of an odd story. Two sisters own a ballet studio that was passed down to them by their mother. When the studio is damaged, a contractor is brought in and delays and weird things happen. Not what I expected.

I loved this book because Emily was so funny! I felt bad for Roger and the dog.

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 story is a sweet love story where the conflict is internal and the character needs to overcome herself. Very cute. Loved it!

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 was so excited to hear Ali released a fantasy-based romance, and it absolutely lived up to my expectations.

I.Loved . Hicory ????????
