This book is phenomenal!! You go on an unthinkable emotional journey with the characters, taking sides with each of them in turn and not knowing what the right answer is. It is so beautifully written that I knew by the first page I wanted to read it. I felt anguish and joy and anger and pity, (just to name a few!) and somehow the author found a way to end it perfectly. First favorite book of 2024!This book is phenomenal!!

I really enjoyed this book. It is inspired by the final killing spree of Ted Bundy before his final capture (which I didn't even clue into until longer than I should admit!). However, unlike most books/movies/documentaries about serial killers that focus on the killer and his acts, this book is written from the perspective of the victims and friends and family of the victims; in no way does the killer take centre stage. This is not like reading true-crime (it is fiction after all). The story and characters hold their own in this well-crafted, thoughtful novel, and would do so even if not based on true events.I really enjoyed this book.

This was supposed to be a summer beach read but held up just as well as an end of September read :) The second book by this author did not disappoint. Lots of romantic tension and it's fun reading a novel that takes place in a city you are familiar with (Toronto). I'm still waiting for Reese to discover her novels....!This was supposed to be a summer beach read but held up just as well as an end of September read :) The second book by this author did not disappoint.

I love the concept of this book - very simple block patterns that you can customize in different ways to make many variations. The instructions are thorough and the finishing is lovely. Excellent for a novice sewer to gain some confidence, but even an experienced sewer can get some inspiration from these pages! Plus, the simplicity of the patterns makes for almost instant gratification - in just a couple of hours you can have a new shirt! (You will just need some tracing paper so you can trace out the patterns from the back.)I love the concept of this book - very simple block patterns that you can customize in different ways to make many variations.

Beautifully developed characters, powerful bonds between women, and strong female characters who refuse to limit themselves or fit themselves into any mold or societal expectations. I thought this was a wonderful story.

This was a really twisty-turny, whodunnit, miss your bedtime because you can't put it down kind of book--I really enjoyed it. I would have given it more stars if it had a better ending.

I love historical fiction so was naturally curious about this book - but when I first started reading it it didn't really captivate me. I ended up trying again a little while later with the audiobook version, and really enjoyed listening to it. It's quite an intricate love story- the events surrounding Agatha Christie's disappearance are front and centre, however she is not the main character and there are definitely a lot of other storylines going on. If you choose to stick with this book it gets more interesting as it progresses and it gets revealed to you how everyone fits together. This was definitely a good tale.I love historical fiction so was naturally curious about this book - but when I first started reading it it didn't really captivate me.

This is such a heart-warming book. It is told from the perspective of a 12 year old girl, without feeling like juvenile fiction or YA at all. You just can't help but fall in love with Audrey (the protagonist) and the way the neighbours in the community look after each other is beautiful. A delightful read!This is such a heart-warming book.
