I struggle with the book at first because I was thinking "who wants to hear about her reasons for marrying seven times," but then the book took some interesting twists.

Will Smith is a real person
Revisado: 08-23-22
I liked this book because of the truth that he put into it. He exposed himself--possibly to ridicule and machoism. Kudos and thank you Will Smith, for the honesty.

Twenty-six-year-old editorial assistant Nella Rogers is tired of being the only Black employee at Wagner Books. Fed up with the isolation and microaggressions, she’s thrilled when Harlem-born and bred Hazel starts working in the cubicle beside hers. They’ve only just started comparing natural hair care regimens, though, when a string of uncomfortable events elevates Hazel to Office Darling, and Nella is left in the dust.

What would Toni Morrison say
Revisado: 11-22-21
This book is full of cliches and poorly written. It plods along until you say, "Get to the point," "What's this story about," and then she ties up the whole story, in one fell swoop, in the last chapter. The references to racism are a laundry list of unending discussion points between the characters. The first few times you think "that's refreshing," then it gets ubiquitously exhausting, taking over the plot--where there is a plot. The cliches are rampant with the characters constantly saying something like, "You know how the saying goes," followed by some trite cultural reference. There were so many instances, about every other paragraph, that make me winch.

Lizzy Moon never wanted Moon Girl Farm. Eight years ago, she left the land that nine generations of gifted healers had tended, determined to distance herself from the whispers about her family’s strange legacy. But when her beloved grandmother Althea dies, Lizzy must return and face the tragedy still hanging over the farm’s withered lavender fields: the unsolved murders of two young girls, and the cruel accusations that followed Althea to her grave.

not a thought-provoking book, but thought-provoking in some ways regarding the relationships between men and women and the choices we make.

Revisado: 08-11-20
the book was okay but it was alm8ost in possible to follow the story. the narrator had a lovely voice but everytime spoke for a character I could barelyunderstand what he said. between his accent and the fact that the volume of his voice was extremely low, I missed whole portions of the book and had difficulty following the storyline.

Bobi Conn was raised in a remote Kentucky holler in 1980s Appalachia. She remembers her tin-roofed house tucked away in a vast forest paradise; the sparkling creeks, with their frogs and crawdads; the sweet blackberries growing along the road to her granny’s; and her abusive father. An elegiac account of survival despite being born poor, female, and cloistered, Bobi’s testament is one of hope for all vulnerable populations, particularly women and girls caught in the cycle of poverty and abuse.

It's a very simple story but heart-wrenching and captivating. The author's reading was perfectly emotionless yet full of emotion.

In Those Who Wander, Vivian Ho delves deep into a rising subculture that’s changing the very fabric of her city and all of urban America. Moving beyond the disheartening statistics, she gives voices to these young people - victims of abuse, failed foster care, mental illness, and drug addiction. She also doesn’t ignore the threat they pose to themselves and to others as a dangerous dark side emerges. With alarming urgency, she asks what can be done to save the next generation of America’s vagabond youth.

I wasn't sure that I was going to like this book. I thought it was going to be more of boring statistics and stuff. But it was fascinating and engaging and the story of many lives.

Raised in a privileged community of wealthy survivalists on an idyllic, self-sustaining Oregon ranch, Marlo has always been insulated. The outside world, which the ranchers call “the Disaster”, is a casualty of ravaging climate change, a troubled landscape on the brink of catastrophe. For as long as Marlo can remember, the unknown that lies beyond the borders of her utopia has been a curious obsession. But just as she plans her escape into the chaos of the real world, a charismatic new resident gives her a compelling reason to stay.

weak book
Revisado: 01-05-20
There was so much that they could have done with this story that they didn't do. It ended up being a love story and also very didactic. Both of which were disappointing.

Josie Bianci was killed years ago on a train during a terrorist attack. Gone forever. It’s what her sister, Kit, an ER doctor in Santa Cruz, has always believed. Yet all it takes is a few heart-wrenching seconds to upend Kit’s world. Live coverage of a club fire in Auckland has captured the image of a woman stumbling through the smoke and debris. Her resemblance to Josie is unbelievable. And unmistakable. With it comes a flood of emotions - grief, loss, and anger - that Kit finally has a chance to put to rest: by finding the sister who’s been living a lie.
