Heartbreaking from start to finish. Beautifully written. One of those books that you wish you could read for the first time again. I’m still trying to process the ending, admittedly. But love this authors work and will recommend this book forever

A story of hatred, love, growth, family, and acceptance. What could be better than an entire book about a diverse family in the white house? What could be better about romance between two enemies? The answer is nothing.

Such a great book. Following the life story of Evelyn Hugo and her extensive list of lovers was fun & exciting. At some times I felt that I was there- interviewing Evelyn Hugo herself. If you like heartwarming books with huge twists- this is the book for you!

The plot twists in this book were insane and I will never forget the authors ability to paint such a picture in my head. The antagonists will haunt my nightmares, I’m sure of it.
I definitely recommend this for people who love fantasy with a paranormal/mystery twist.

Omg…WOW!!
Going into this, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Mentally, I heard it was much like a crazy rich asians and princess diaries crossover. But it was so much more.
Following Izumi’s journey of finding her place in Tokyo was incredible. It was relatable, despite me not once experiencing finding out i was a princess at 18 years old. I would read this 100x over and feel the same emotions each time.
Read. This. Book.

Decided to bring this one with me to Hawaii- what could be better than a book set in Hawaii, while experiencing it?
What I didn’t expect were the vast emotions I would feel while reading this. I loved following this family on their life journey. Growing up with the kids, and reading about realistic experiences (grief, loss, depression, homelessness, memory loss, ect) was emotional but something that I think every book needs to have. I will recommend this novel for ever and ever and ever and ever...

I’ll admit, this book was a bit hard to get into at first. The main character, Bryce, was easy to get along with, easy to relate to. But the world building was insane. It took me about 400 pages to finally understand some of the words that were included.
But, it’s worth it.
You follow Bryce on a journey of grief, loss, and love, while she is searching for the killer of her best friend and a myriad of other citizens. She befriends a (not so shabby looking) archangel slave who is on the case with her. They become these super smart investigators while also living seemingly normal lives on the side (they have cell phones, work other jobs, ect).
There is so much more to it, though. This book takes you through major loss, family issues, war, grief, mental illness, sacrifice, and growth. Definitely a great book to read if you enjoy fantasy with a modern twist and relatable characters.

Wow. Not sure where to even start.
This gave me an entire new perspective on life and spending each day to the fullest. I didn’t cry; I’m not much of a crier when it comes to books unfortunately, but these characters and story will stick with me forever.
Please, read this book.

After 15 year old Liz dies, she arrives at a place called Elsewhere. Similar to earth, but much more, Elsewhere is home to sprawling seas, tall mountains, and warm homes. You can't get sick, or older.
In fact, in Elsewhere, you age backwards until you are born again.
In this book about loss and grief, watch Liz deal with the hardships of aging back to her younger self, alongside her grandmother she has never met. Is it possible that a life lived in reverse is better than one lived forward?
