I loved this story about some friends all dealing with their individual lives but also being there for each other. They hang out, text and of course wash their hair! I read this super fast and then read it again. <3

If you like The Martian you might like this one even more. The main character is on an impossible space mission but as luck would have it there might be a way out IF he can manage to not make any deadly mistakes. Andy Weir is a SciFy king and I think his best trick is making SF interesting to more than the usual audience with humor, creative plot twists and an infectious spirit of hope.If you like The Martian you might like this one even more.

This book took me awhile to read and sometimes that means it's not that interesting but in this case it was not true. I would read several chapters and then have to sit with that for awhile. Truly horrible things happen to the characters of this story, everything from mental and physical abuse to systemic failures of social safety nets and rampant pillaging from big pharma. And yet the story is at it's most powerful when the main character Demon takes in all the bad and tries to find his good, his home and his people. You will want Demon to win but you just won't know if it's possible.This book took me awhile to read and sometimes that means it's not that interesting but in this case it was not true.

I had heard some good things about this book and decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did, although I don't typically read romance novels the writing style in this book made me laugh out loud and really root for the characters. I love reading and I know that not every character is a good person. This book really showcases faults and triumphs of a modern sort of person. I loved the city and island setting. I think if you decide to read this you should be prepared for some lusty moments!I had heard some good things about this book and decided to give it a try.

This is the second book I have read by this author and I really love her writing style. It's conversational but still intricate. This book would probably qualify as a romance novel but it is a lot more than that. There is figurative and literal journey for the main character where she must decide what she wants her future to look like. The story moves like a song and indeed there are actual playlists included throughout. I was so bummed when this book ended!This is the second book I have read by this author and I really love her writing style. It's conversational but still intricate.

I really enjoyed this funny romp through the Glacier National Park and Nick Offerman's mind. You will like this if you like celebrity podcasts. Beware of Offerman's extensive vocabulary that may have you grabbing your dictionary.

A suspenseful read with more questions that answers. Don't expect to like the adult characters but they are well thought out and have unique voices. I read it quickly and was often deeply unsettled by all the unknown aspects.
