YMMV with this one, but I absolutely could not put this book down. It’s not without flaws (like the characters being dense way longer than necessary) but Harrison manages to deliver a very moving essay on friendship and loss wrapped up in top notch horror.

This is a gorgeous tale about love and art and loneliness. I loved Addie’s furious, stubborn strength and her never ending passion for life. I felt a bit like Addie listening to it, never wanting the story to end.

A beautifully modernized take on Emma, this variation oozes sweetness, passion, and southern charm. Emma is a character I feel gets maligned unfairly (even by myself on occasion!) and this version puts the meddling high-mindedness aside in favor of the loving girl Emma really is. Out of all of Austen's Heroines, Emma is never in danger of reduced circumstances or society censure. Her greatest challenge is not overcoming the obstacles set before her through outside forces, but overcoming her own shortcomings--a much tougher challenge. This variation also allows us a peek into the thoughts of George Knightley, whose love for our heroine was seen for the reader for so long before his ultimate realization it had me shaking my head and saying "bless his heart."

I listened to the audiobook version of this book, and highly recommend. The narrator, Emily Rahm, was new to me, but she captured the characters to perfection. I was in stitches every time she took on the Mrs. Bates character, or Emma's perfectly southern housekeeper.

Just finished ‘The Strange Case of the Alchemist’s Daughter’ and I loved it so much, the bit of biography about Mary Shelley and Mary Wollstonecraft at the end cemented it as an instant favorite. A blisteringly feminist take on women’s role in literature and a love letter to “found” family and sisterhood. And extra bonus love given to Kate Reading, who narrates another favorite series of mine, the Lady Sherlock Series by Sherry Thomas.
