Excellent memoir of adversity and letting go of an attachment to home, moving beyond guilt, and shedding shame. Tara could have easily fell into the life that her parents lived, but instead chose her own path despite how difficult it was to separate herself from her family, and ultimately losing them at the end.

I wouldn’t say historical fiction is a preferred genre of mine to read, but after many suggestions, I borrowed this book from a friend. I’m so glad I finally read it and I want to recommend it to everyone! It is engaging, the characters are lovable, and the story is both heart wrenching and hopefully at the same time! I absolutely recommend this book to any and everyone!

This book is always amazing. I love how neatly the facts about Greek mythology is woven into the story! Just from reading it I have somehow become the Greek mythology expert in the family. Another on of my favorite parts if’s the chapter names like “ I become supreme lord of the bathroom” and “ We learn the truth, sort of” there so funny compared to other authors chapter titles are so creative ( that was sarcasm) 1,2,3,4. Of course just the book itself is awesome the way that Rick Riorden writes, he writes with so much emotion and internal feeling like when Percy’s mother “died” fighting the Minotaur.

Great story . Love how the author goes between timelines. The story is centered around haven and her quest to continue the searcher dad started. The story brings us between the 1800’s with Mari and Holmes story as well as Haven and Enzo. Really enjoyed .

I love twilight so much!! I love the whole series and the movies!! In my opinion the books are way better than the movies due to detail, but I absolutely love the movies too!! But this book review is about the first book! The first book is very good and it explains how the two main characters (Bella, Edward) fall in love!! This story teaches a lot about love and while keeping it interesting, mysterious, and dark. With LOTS of fantasy too!!

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.

Love all of her books. This is no exception.

This book was good I guess. I read it in 30 minutes in a car trip today. My mom doesn’t like the series because of how hard the mom try’s and the middle school boy doesn’t care. She said that she would write about all her great ideas as a mom and how we think that there all soooo great. Blah blah blah, then I told her that no way it would get on a bestseller list! She thought that was funny. Still a pretty funny series. This book was my second favorite out of all of them, the first being the spaghetti one.
