I read this all by myself

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.

I like how Nancy stood up for herself even though she was scared.

It’s was a very fun book. And was like another episode. Got a couple of details wrong about Sam and Dean, and there were a couple things that could’ve been done differently but was overall a good book.

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.

I read this book based on our book club's recommendation and also as it was a library staff pick. While told in its own unique way, the plot reminded me of so many things that have happened/are happening in society and the world. I got the impressions of COVID and anti-Asian sentiments, the removal and separation of children from Native Americans as well as their return from successful adoptions, separation of immigrant families at the border, etc. The "Crisis" and PACT were universal in their meaning as was the resulting abuse of power and tendency to look the other way. The way Celeste Ng told the story through the eyes of young Bird was very interesting, and the young adult fiction book, "The Giver", kept coming to mind.

Amazing storyline, and a huge twist at the end. The story was addicting and engaging.

I’m a HUGE Amanda Lovelace fan, so I came in with big expectations and was not disappointed. So great! Collection of 3 Fairytale inspired books in one. Not sure what the final one is inspired by but still great! I read Flower Crowns and Fearsome things right before this and it was lacking, so this restored my confidence in her works. Great read!

It’s taking me a long time because I’m learning to read it by myself!

This was a very entertaining book! Alice Feeney’s books always keep me guessing and have twists I can never truly guess at accurately. I was a little confused with how the stories came together at the end, however.
