Great addition to the series!

Wonderful story of a Mi'kmaq family from Nova Scotia who go to Maine each summer to pick blueberries and their youngest daughter goes missing. This event follows the lives of the rest of the family and how they coped with the loss and always kept hope in finding Ruthie. Excellent character development and the writing style is compelling, A 5 star for me!

Loved it!

Another spectacular summer read from Carley Fortune! I loved Alice and Charlie’s dynamic relationship. This wasn’t just a cute love story, there was life and issues that tried to stand in their way and made me love them each even more!

This book is SUPER FUNNY! I’d highly recommend this book to everyone. It’s in a series and it’s amazing!

A very interesting story of the Murano, Italy, glass industry. The chapters move through centuries of time as the characters age very little, making it a bit confusing to follow the story line.

Goodreads review - Thank you to Charlie Donlea, Between the Chapters Book Club and Kensington Publishers for an ARC of Guess Again. I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I am a HUGE fan of Charlie Donlea's because he writes a mystery unlike any other author I've come across. I've read everything he's written. Thankfully I don't retain books well so I can always go back and reread in a couple of years. Guess Again has many characters in a Wisconsin setting. Ethan Hall is an ER doctor after he resigned as a detective who had a 100% solve rate for the crimes he investigated. He's contacted by Pete Kramer, his old partner to help solve a cold case involving a teen who vanished. That teen, Callie Jones, is the now governor Mark Jones' daughter. Ethan agrees to take a look at the case in his spare time. Ethan discovers details about the case that didn't come to light during the initial investigation. Ethan is also a victim of crime - his father was a police officer who was murdered. There are so many details and characters that I always wonder how it will all come together - especially as more details continue thoroughout the storyline. But, Mr. Donlea always brings everything all together in the ending. I also sincerely appreciate that he explains all the details in the ending so there aren't any confusing loose ends. Again - as with all of Mr. Donlea's books, I was NOT able to figure out whodunit. That's also why I enjoy his books so much. I don't want to give away the ending but I will say that I gasped twice at things revealed. Best ending yet.

This book is a little like Lake Wobegon in some parts and quite dark in other parts.

Someone smarter than me may have seen the twist coming, but I didn't.

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.
