The story is set on Nantucket Island in the summer time. Courtney, from Kansas City, has a crush on her college roommate's brother, James, and returns to Nantucket to see them for her last summer there. It's an exciting, page-turner. Enjoy!

The premise of the book sounded interesting but it was way too long and repetitive. In this book AI is implanted in a brain dead individual and Julia is hired to manipulate "Bernie" (a nod to the movie "Weekend at Bernie's). The book is told through alternating points of view. Note: The 3 stars is rounded up from 2.5 stars.

The unique writing style had such great promise, and the audiobook actors were phenomenal. But the story itself fell flat. I’m definitely open to stories that end with lingering mystery, but I feel like absolutely nothing was explained at the end. It feels like the author took way too much liberty with the “let the reader come to their own conclusions” concept and just didn’t bother to come up with a full idea.

Highly recommend. I wanted to read this book before the movie came out and I'm so glad that I did. It was a feel good read.

I listened to the audiobook, read by Jennifer Grey. The book opens with her account of her botched nose job, which changed her appearance and her life. Then it went back to her early years, growing up as the daughter of Joel Grey. It was more than halfway through the book when she finally got to the part about the making of Dirty Dancing.

This book was a real downer. Full of death, pain, struggle, and sadness. I originally thought there would be some kind of person/character(s) to like and hope for their survival, but I found myself not caring about any of them. They are all unlikable and I do not feel like the story added anything to the lives of the survivors. I'm disappointed I was interested in this book. The fourth wall breaks also added nothing to the story. It mentioned how we will “never know why” one of the characters was on the platform that day, but we could know, if the author chose to write it.

Lisa See brings so much history of how the early Chinese settlers were treated in our country. And in 1870, post 13th amendment ending slavery, we learn that this did not apply to Chinese women. Another great read by this talented author.

Neil Gaiman tells the tales of the Gods using the great Norse myths. His stories tell of beginning of the nine worlds all the way to the end of the Gods in Ragnarok. These are tales of Odin, the highest God, and of Thor, the trickster Loki, and many others. I really enjoyed this one.

Not her best work. Basically, a choose your own adventure book. Tried it because my kids loved reading them. The various adventures were weird and some really disturbing to me, and some quite ridiculous. It was, at first, interesting to see how the author would manage this choose your own adventure thing. I read it several times but choosing different options. All in all, I was not impressed.

Louisa grew up in an affluent and respected family in Maine. Since then her and her family have spent every summer in the Fitzgerald’s large house on the shore. This year Louisa and the kids go to the house themselves but not all it right. Louisa’s father, a respected judge has Alzheimer’s and her mom is pretending it’s alright. Louisa and her husband are arguing over money. Matty gets his heart broken and Louisa finds out that she has a half sister from an affair her father had years ago. Kristy comes to Maine to confront her father after her mother’s death. She did not expect to fall in love and learn to deal with the news about her father and his family. This was a very entertaining story and I recommend reading it
