![]() ![]() ![]() I am referring to the juxtaposition of the world Cass builds here to that of our distinctly charged reality. One little thing of note to my fellow Americans: politics and politicians feature largely in this story, and it’s a bit of unfortunate timing for this release considering the current dumpster fire of a political climate in our country right now. Thank you, audio gods, for pairing wonderful writers with wonderful narrators. So when I saw that an audio version had been released with LORI PRINCE, one of my all-time favorite narrators voicing it, I basically swooned with excitement! They could NOT have found a better narrator to bring out all the tones of this book, from the sexy to the playful to the emotional and inspiring. It’s hot, sweet, poignant and at times surprisingly tear-jerking. I’ve probably read their story 3 or 4 times by now. From the first read I fell in love with gorgeous, driven, trailblazing Charlotte, who swears she’s impervious to love and sweet, adorably awkward Sutton, who knocks down all Charlotte’s walls just by existing in the world as a “beautiful, bright ray of redheaded sunshine,” as Regan calls her. ![]() This book has had a special place in my heart since the first time I read it months ago. ![]()

I think they were talking more about the societal expectation that you should be grateful for having a job even is cases where the law, the employer, and society as a whole let you down massively by say paying you so little for full-time work that you still need food stamps (that means those employers are using tax dollars to subsidize their corporate greed).

She reeks of convenience from her introduction, she acts like a magical balm to every problem Crabbe faces. Mary, one part Yoda and one part Princess Leia, is problematic. This may be explained away a feature of the first-person narrative but it feels like lazy or stunted writing. The lack of a central antagonist is alternatively realistic and frustrating the conflict is externalized only in nature rather than in another character. ![]() The theme of self-discovery is well explored and the atmosphere and mood is effectively established and modulated However, the supporting cast is paper-thin which leaves the story feeling a bit one dimensional. ![]() A great ya novel with a relatable protagonist and breathtaking descriptions. ![]() ![]() ![]() And Ada must decide whether she's willing to risk her life for the possibility of a new kind of future for them all.

She dresses like a man and fights like a warrior. Rionna has been able to live as she likes for all of her life. Caelen also dresses down Rionna in public.

Caelen has some emotional baggage because when he was young, he fell in love and the result was his clan being slaughtered, his father and sister-in-law murdered.

But when the crisis was declared and Obama’s administration created the priority juvenile docket, that window was reduced to twenty-one days. “Before the immigration crisis was declared in the summer of 2014, minors seeking immigration relief were given approximately twelve months to find a lawyer to represent their case before their first court hearing. ![]() |
