Quick and easy, heart warming read. Man, Emily Henry gets you at the end and tugs at your emotions. Two unlikely people come together, and bond over their history. Adorable love story!

Translated from Italian, this gives the impression (possibly mistaken) that all disagreements are settled by repeatedly hitting and punching those who disagree. The brilliant friend drops out of school, marries wealth, becomes unrecognizable, but is perhaps brilliant.

Wonderful, exciting, and intelligent princess story which also alludes to the Princess and the pea. Refreshing!

Truly an amazing book .

Maybe it's because it's in translation, but this book promised some torrid love affairs and all I got were sad people who were too philosophical.

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.

This book is amazing! It is now one of my favorite books ever. It talks about so many important themes! It deserves a 10 star rating instead of 5. I would recommend this book to everyone.

An amazing story that also embraces you into their world. Loved it!!!!!! :)

I loved this book so much! It was an exciting way to end the series. It was funny, with that little hint of romance, but it’s not strong, and it’s also not the main theme of the story. It was an incredible series. Everyone should read this book!

I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I am a fan of Ms. Wiseman's writing - specifically, all the research she does to write her books. I did not know much about the coal industry at all. I feel like I have a pretty good grasp of it after reading Coal River. I love historical books because I like to learn while I read. Emma is a young woman who once lived in Coal River. She's vowed to never return for very good reason. After becoming an orphan years later, she finds herself back in Coal River at her Uncle Otis' home. He is the local coal mine owner and a brutal, harsh man. Her Aunt Ida only wants Emma in the home to provide free maid duties. Emma has a past history with her cousin Percy and is not happy to live in their home. Emma has maid duties as well as store clerk duties in the coal mine's general store. She begins to learn about the coal mine and how its employees are treated. Most upsetting to her is how young the breaker boys are and how dangerous their jobs are. I don't give away spoilers so I'll just say this was a spectacular, emotional read that is so well written. I was often sad while reading it, but also found a lot of hope in Emma.
