charity1313's review

I initially thought I would read this one for an in person book club because it happened to be available from the library the last time I took my kiddo there for a class. It was such a sweet, endearing read. A very huggable book. Even though I was certain I knew the mystery note-writer and I was right, I wasn't prepared for the ending. Definitely got a little misty at the end. Oh, but while I did see the large red flags the author gave us about her brother,

I did not see the suicide coming. I figured the sister would figure things out and be shocked but able to prevent his death. I was not ready for that dark turn.

Beautiful and gutting at the very same time. As a lover of books, this one brilliantly explains why we love books the way we do. It is a tender story about a list of books that impacts so many people tremendously. I felt seen by the author — understanding and explaining so many reasons why I’ve come to love reading and books so much.

Slow on the middle and picks up. Touching and sad. Will add to your own reading list to get back to some books you read long ago or hadn't yet read
