Funny Story by Emily Henry

Never going to not pick up an Emily Henry, even if they're not always a favorite. This one was cute, I liked the characters. The premise was kind of flimsy to me but they had good chemistry!

A DELICIOUS peak Ann Patchett. I loved the two different time settings and felt so invested in both narratives. The characters were so interesting and complex, especially the daughters. So good.

This was such a lovely read. I loved The Memory Police so picked this up and it had such a similar vibe (obviously much less haunting). Yoko Ogawa writes in such a simple but emotionally impactful style, I instantly felt connected to these characters.

Pure nostalgia! I loved this as a kid and this re-read lived up to my memory of it. I also loved the little illustrations within, and the context added afterwards in this edition.

Such a fun read. Liane Moriarty is so good at creating a cast of characters where each feels unique and fleshed out and necessary to the story. The ending was very ???? but I enjoyed the ride.
