It was ok but not the best by Rebecca Serle. I loved One Italian Summer. The characters were a bit jammed together

So far i have read chapter one and i find it very enjoyable and it shows off the main character's personality a bit, the main problem/the main character's home life. we also get to see a friend :)

Heartbreaking, heartwarming, funny, sad, charming, poignant—this book hits many emotions. Fredrik Backman knows people, and his characters are multi-dimensional, complex, and charming. The book is a story within a story, as the retelling of one remarkable summer for four teenage friends is shared during a train ride. Chance encounters, special connections, and the power of good friendship, especially during teenage years. Highly recommend.

I like the 3 endings. It made the end fun

I loved the author's previous book, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, so I was excited to read this one. That one blended a strain of fantasy into the present world, and this one did too. I don't want to give anything away, but it's the interconnected story of three women—Sabine, Charlotte, and Alice—over a period ranging from the 1500s to present day, in Europe and Boston. It was interesting and entertaining, but not as good as Addie LaRue, for me.

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.

Harlem, 2019. Oliver shares a crumbling love letter with his fiancé Ardelia. Natchez, 1865. Harrison has been discharged from the Union army and has returned to Mississippi to search for his love, Tizrah. Meanwhile, in Louisiana, newly free Tizrah yearns for Harrison. What follows is a story of star-crossed lovers, with a story that spans 150 years. The choices made by Tizrah and Harrison reverberate across following generations, keeping some people together and others apart. It's a love story, thoroughly researched historical fiction, and a bit of a mystery as well, as Oliver and Ardelia try to answer the questions raised by the letter. Beautifully written, raw and poignant, complicated and powerful. A very good book.

A Sherlock Holmes-ish mystery set in the 1920s, as a good cop teams up with a “graphologist” in a dangerous bid to expose corruption within the London police department.

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 thought that I would like the plot more than I did. I am not a huge fan of regency era romance but I do like to read it once in a while. This was not it for me.
