It was a good book

I liked this book because it is about a witch and there is a place called Hecate where all the witches from 300 years ago when to hide from the men who hunted them. Eloise- 9

Rats are gross I learned, but also cool

I enjoyed this book - I loved putting together the sights and scents in my head and feel I could smell them. I enjoyed how she incorporated Grace Kelly with a beautiful store of a local parfumerie. I will say I was surprised by some turn of events before the passing of Grace Kelly, but it was a nice story

I got to meet the author of the Penderwick series and I got to ask questions like do you speak Latin because there was Latin in the Penderwicks? She said it was fun the add different languages into it but she doesn’t speak Latin. It was so cool to meet my favorite author in the world everyone should read her books and she has a new book The Library of Unruly Treasures

I really loved the characters and the plot! First five star read of the year for me. I loved the fairytale aspect of the plot and the main characters.

Awesome, amazing, intriguing, captivating.

Jennifer Weiner's latest book that does not take place on the Outer Cape but in Philadelphia and New York in August of 2023. The main character of the book is Abby Stern who is a "larger" person that struggles with criticism from her Mother as well as society. Abby is also an avid biker who ends up leading a 14-day bike trip on the Empire State Trail from NYC to Niagra Falls. Among the fifteen riders on the trip is Sebastian whom Abby had a one-night-stand with two years earlier. The rest of the book centers around Abby, Sebastian, and Abby's current boyfriend, Mark. I enjoyed the book as well as the different stories of the characters on the bike trip.

Despite being an unusual character who’s not entirely likable, I still wanted to be a fly on her wall, and revisit her. The wicked behavior is creative, funny, and her craven motivations are very human, and admittedly, relatable. Fun collection to dip into periodically.

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!
