It does. A beautiful sad, but definitely leaves you with a heaviness to hold and consider. I would have needed to put it on my “Paused” list a few months ago. When you are feeling ready, it is a book that does not opt out of discomfort with a serendipitous plot trick or anything.

I forgot all about Magic Tree House! These are great, thank you!

Thank you!

Oo! Do you mind saying why? This is on a list and I keep putting it off.

Thank you. I wanted to learn how to design one so the book blog was started! I’m out of the habit of writing longer form reviews there but it was a great way to learn design skills.

Loving this library find! Dystopian mystery/thriller.

Finished. Wow. Thank you for the advice. It got so good!

I did keep reading and so glad I did. Thank you for the encouragement. 💛

Did you enjoy this read?

Agreed. Feels like it really only tries to be a sci-fi in the last quarter of the book and then with a lot of odd holes and weirdness. “Weirdness” in that it left me feeling strange and like I’d picked up a different book that didn’t really make sense.
