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. ????

A funny and heartwarming teen romance story! A few fun plot twists, a beautiful ending, and an amazing road to tell a fun story that always rounds back to Emily's crush, and also Romeo and Juliet!

I Loved the book!

Aurora centers around a Carrington Event in the modern world, wiping out all electricity to the world. It tells it's tale on a local level, therefore, we only get to glimpse a small community reaction. As a fan of David Koepp, author of Cold Storage and screenwriter for many Hollywood blockbuster monster movies, I was expecting a more dynamic story and characters. This story had very predictable characters and an easily cracked underlying mystery.

It was a good book. It was very entertaining.

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.

The characters are complicated and likable. Exploring each character's view of their family unit and their individual feelings provides the reader with a look at the balancing act taking place. Displays of strength and vulnerability are sprinkled throughout the story, thus drawing in the emotions of the empathetic reader. Characters become favorites and then may change as the plot takes some twists and turns. The story is intriguing and ultimately hits some sensitive assessments as the reader follows characters who are dealing with complex family issues. Characters in the novel, as well as the reader, are all experiencing thought provoking questions about how to maneuver sensitive family relationships without destroying one another. This book is a very good read. You won't be sorry.

Really teaches you a LOT about these magnificent creatures- lions.

I thought the book was funny. I liked the book

It was an odd book
