I had to read this after reading we were liars and felt like it was okay. I thought it followed the same type of trajectory and had many parallels to we were liars, just with the previous generation of Sinclairs. I think I liked Carrie’s POV better than the narration of we were liars, although both characters had their flaws and issues.

It was hard to put down! A lot of information revealed and tons of action!

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

I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I've read one of Ms. Cambridge's other books in her other series, The Phyllida Bright mystery series and very much enjoyed it. Although this is the 3rd book in her An American in Paris Mystery and I took all three out from my local library, I started with this one first. I love a ballgown and fashion and knew I'd love this book. I knew of the inclusion of Julia Child as a character and it was so much fun to imagine her cooking and being friends with Tabitha. I watched Julia Child when I was younger and loved to think of her cooking and trying to teach Tabitha how to make crepes, etc. Tabitha lives in Paris with her Grand-pere and his partner, her Oncle Rafe. The "attic" setting where she lives in their home sounds like the perfect little room in Paris. Especially with that private bath. Although I haven't read the other two books yet, it did come out in this book that Tabitha has discovered other bodies - numerous other bodies. She's helped the local inspector with solving the crimes before and helps him solve these. I really enjoyed his constant smirks and sighs at her insistence in helping him. All of the fashions, the mannequins, the Dior history of Chrisitan and his sister, were all written so well. I learned a lot of about Paris history and fashion. I'm eager to start the first book, Mastering the Art of French Murder, next. (from my Goodreads review)

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.

I lovee this book !!!!!!

One of the best books I’ve read all year

This memoir is about a woman who was a flight attendant from 1979 until 1986.

Amazing book 10/10 recommend

I have always loved school arcs in fantasy series as I get to see the character develop and interact with others at their age. This is especially true with Aurthor as soon after he joins the school he humbles an angry teacher and becomes the professor for that class, which was really cool.
