AMAZING book about the beautiful culture and myths of Colombia! I would recommend to ANYONE!!!! :)

I like how in the story it explained the person came from the moon and was a mix of realistic fiction, science fiction and fantasy.

I was hooked from the first page. Tommy's writing style is beautiful and the content is fascinating, I stayed up late the first night I was reading it and finished half of it.

I wanted to love this book as science and faith and their intersections are where I "live". But this book plunged into the world of addiction so heavily, that I felt like I needed an Al-Anon meeting while reading it. I don't say that lightly because I highly appreciate 12-step recovery groups. I thought this leaned heavily into the coming-of-age issues of how to disengage from mentally ill parents and restrictive churches. Because it was a look-backwards POV, I thought Gifty, being a Stanford student, would be intelligent enough to seek out other places of worship and come to terms with (while not approve of) the cultural issues in churches. To condemn God because of a few people seems.....unwise and unfair. Do we want God to smite every bad action or actor? Wouldn't that include each one of us? This is the inherent tension in Christianity. How do we continue to love? The attempt for Gifty to discover the answers to depression and addiction seems laudable but naive. How many millions of people have hoped to do just that? Maybe working with God and maybe through 12-step groups could move the needle? Nonetheless,I learned a lot about Ghana, the daily pain of immigration, and the bigotry endemic in AL.

Very quick read to connect books two and three in the Housemaid series. It was light and gave a little glimpse into Millie and Enzo's life.

I would give this amazing book ?? ?? ?? ??. I enjoyed reading this novel about Coyote and her journey. Coyote is a 12 year old girl that lives on a old school bus with her dad Rodeo and cat Ivan. I would recommend reading this book.

Book featuring food from another culture.

This book left me breathless. Lisa McMann has somehow created characters that are supernatural, yet somehow completely ordinary. There is no other way to describe this funny, surprising, exiting book exept as magical.

Thumbs up!

I recommended this book to a friend, Barbara Jackson.
