Takes me into the land of Hilo with extreme details

Inaccurately marketed as a crime thriller, this slow burn of a political novel is unlike anything I’ve read. The protagonist is a detective, but positioned in a PR management liaison role between the police and journalists. I cared enough about him as a character to stick with the drier parts of the office politics to get to the cold case that resumes in a unique and gratifying way. Overall the novel hangs together narratively, has interesting characters, broaches topics I hadn’t seen addressed in fiction before, or so well, and gives the reader enough of a plot payoff to read through the complex, intellectual matter that takes up much of its 576 pages. But if you pick it up looking for a page-turning mystery, you’ll be disappointed.

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

Entertaining love story that's more than just fluff. A great beach read, but also a look at former child stars, perception vs reality, and real love vs Insta-love.

I hate Mrs.Tifon she is so mean but I love how Skye stood up to her I love it I think everyone should read it

I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone. I don’t need a book that mentions the pandemic all the time and I didn’t like the main character at all either. It was a predictable read.

A wedding, a group of college friends, a romance, a heartbreak, and choices that reverberate through generations. Also an ode to the state of Montana—and heartbreak for the impacts of a warming climate. (Not in a preachy way, but in a day-to-day impactful change kind of way: the lake when the characters were kids, vs. the lake now.) The pace was a little slow but I was engaged in the outcome of the characters.

It was a really good volume but I didn’t like how Nagato, Konan, and Tamiko just immediately thought morays was great, like he was an enemy shinobi, why do you just immediately think he’s great

I enjoy Riley savers writing style, so I always enjoy his books. Usually I prefer his books with more shocking twist and speechless endings, but this book didn’t give me it.

A thought provoking memoir in the condensed form of a graphic novel. The writing is concise yet captivating. I will be adding Bechdel's other graphic novels to my reading list.
