The Escape Game by Marilyn Turk

 This was a captivating story and I enjoyed how the author told the story from the home front and from the side of the men involved in the war.  I felt like the story ended a little too suddenly for me.  I really enjoyed the characters of Beryl and James!


Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc.  The opinions are my own.

The Summer of Songbirds by Kristy Woodson Harvey

  This book makes me want to send my daughter to summer camp :). I loved the stories of the songbirds and the strength of their friendships through the highs and lows of life. I enjoyed how the friends had each other do their hard things too. My favorite characters were Finn, Paola, June, Huff and Steven. Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc.

The Girl at the Back of the Bus by Suzette D. Harrison

 4  stars What a powerful book this is! This is a time slip novel. Matties story is from the 1940s and Ashlees is from the present day. Mattie is on her way to have an abortion when she is on the bus with Rosa Parks. The heroic act of Ms. Parks gives Mattis the courage to raise her baby. Ashlee is Maddies granddaughter and she needs to fight against the glass ceiling of being an African American woman in a male dominated world of being a lawyer. There were so many things to think about from this story as I looked back on history and the present day. I could have done without some of the sexual stuff and language but I appreciated the story and the lessons that came with it. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the arc.
