Good

I like mysteries. I like trying to guess who the person was that did the crime. It was easy to read.

Surprised at how much this story moved me. Still reeling from the ending. (And FYI, it’s racier than the Netflix version!)

I cried so much through this book that the words were blurry, and I had to wipe away tears every couple of seconds. Bravo!

How yerrrr doin'? This book is really good so far, as I am still reading it! A little to old for me, but I am only in 3rd, going into 4th. I would recommend to read in 5th and up as it is a YA read. Overall, this is a REALLY good book!

I like fancy because she is very slow and steady, but it doesn’t mean that she’s a bad horse because even though she’s slow, she won saddle up and go championship and got a blue ribbon. That’s why I like fancy. ????

Excellent read. A story of friendship and how it all begins and why the friends stick together. The friends are sad, fun and clever. They are making it through life under harsh challenges, with strength derived from each other. You support the friends, even when they are getting into trouble because the author draws you into understanding their feelings. I recommend it for everyone to read.

An interesting dive into the different ways gardening and plants have inspired different authors of mysteries. Discusses different books (and shares them at the end for ease of finding when you inevitably decide some of them sound like amazing reads themselves). I appreciated the concept, having not read something like this before. Marta does an excellent job infusing her own interests and humor into the information she is sharing. I read Sherlock Holmes as a child and have not delved too deeply into mysteries beyond cozy ones as an adult but this book is a great launch off point. My husband has been getting into gardening so this was a fun juxtaposition of both of our current interests and it was fun to share tidbits as I went along through the chapters.

Harsh life. You can tell how those situations make growing up difficult. I first thought this would be a funny book. Some serious topics on being treated badly.
