I had bought this at Goodwill after seeing it everywhere and hadn’t gotten around to reading it. When I heard it was going to be a TV show, I rushed to read it so I could watch the show. I had high hopes but it wasn’t at all what I was expecting. I didn’t love the characters which made it hard to get super into. I’m glad I read it and I’m going to watch the show still, the book just wasn’t what I was expecting.

I don't give away any spoilers in my reviews. I have read many of Fern Michaels' books - especially The Sisterhood and the Men of the Sisterhood series. I enjoy her thorough character writing and love feeling like I have a complete picture of her characters. At first, I though the Katherine Winston character in Fight or Flight was the same Kathryn Winston in Sisterhood. However, it's not listed under the Sisterhood list of books so I'm honestly not sure. Either way, I loved both of the characters. Katherine - who is called K by her friend Doc, is an agoraphobe who lives alone with her two German Shepherds, Sam and Sophie. She lives in a large mansion and has not set foot outside in seven years. K is also K.C. Winston, the YA author of a series called Girls With Unusual Powers. She does have a secret online persona so she can monitor fans on her page. K has led a habitual life for many years and is forced to break that habit and face her panic attacks from agoraphobia. Doc helps her but I don't want to share any spoilers. Suffice it to say, it's a great, heart-pounding at times read. K feels she's being watched and things escalate from there. Thoroughout reading this, I kept thinking, if this is a different Katherine (which I think it is), please please please let this be a new series. From the perfect, heart stopping ending, I think it just may be. I loved seeing K overcome her fears and also loved her interactions with her dogs. Great read from one of my favorite authors. (from my Goodreads review)

I enjoy Sepetys books. She always does a nice job weaving history into her stories and this one is no different. It offers an interesting glimpse into life in New Orleans in 1950.

Couldn't put it down!

I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I am an avid reader as well as a fan of dollhouses so I knew I had to read The Library of Lost Dollhouses. I very much enjoyed all the dollhouse details from the creation, to the meaning, just every little detail. I did like the storyline but honestly felt it was a little confusing especially regarding the main character's mother. (my Goodreads review)

Thorough aspects of natural way to live along with TCM.

Disappointing story which in ways is takes too much from the original story and distorts with annoying main characters.

Excellent

I like this book. The way they rescued the injured Jaguar, and how they named them by making a vote and the name won as Valerio. And I also like the adventure they made, they inspired me to be like the girls Adrianna and her family. And also how Mr. Savage were caught as a poacher that was so shocked. Oh, I also like that how Feye and Monica in love with each other, and I also think Leo is in love with Adrianna. This books is so amazing.

This is an amazing sequel to Growing Pangs which follows Katie through the tough path of growing up. Katie has started learning to manage her OCD and is going to try out for the musical Annie. Then, she realizes she has a crush on a girl. But her church is filled with people who say that being gay or bisexual is bad and a sin. They also say that girls are meant to simply help the men. Katie has to push through and learn that they can’t tell her who she can’t be and that she has to shine as her own person. This is an amazing book and I would recommend it to anyone.
