Love Holly Jackson’s book. Well paced, always interesting and fun to read.
4 stars for this unusual premise alone. A bit of a mess towards the end but I loved it.
3.5 it kept my interest the whole time.
not my favorite of North. but it was still interesting and atmospheric.
3.5 stars If you’re into family dramas, you will like this one. Ultra-rich family, dad dies, kids are back together, trying to do the “game” their dad left them to do. Romance and family drama.
Love love loved this book. I loved Oona out of Order so I was curious to see if I would like another by the author and this book did not disappoint. I loved the way their story unfolded in little bits and pieces. I loved all the characters. I loved the humor. And most of all, I loved the heart this story has. It will make you feel warm and fuzzy. It will make you laugh out loud. And it will also be bittersweet. How much more can you ask from a book? with gratitude to netgalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing | MIRA for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
I loved the time I spent with this book. If you’re looking for a magic-filled story, you’re going to be disappointed. If you’re looking for a story where the characters get a major do over you will also be disappointed. This is not that kind of book. This book is about carrying the burdens of growing up in a dysfunctional family and trying to control your life as a result through anxiety. It’s about the need for control and the desire that many of us carry to have things “work out” and how there’s no such thing about things working out. And how every outcome has unintended consequences and life is much more complicated than “black or white” decisions and outcomes. I loved it. with gratitude to netgalley and St. Martin’s Press for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
I know it is quite over the top and is trying to be multiple things at the same time and I usually don’t love random women’s empowerment novels but I really enjoyed reading this one and kept wanting to read more and more. |
