25 Library Terrace by Natalie Fergie

3.0

This one had all the ingredients I love… multiple POVs, layered timelines, and a cozy old house full of secrets! But this wasn’t my typical mystery/thriller novel. 

Here are things I loved: The quiet power of walking away from tech and social media? Tess… Yes please! And the way everything tied together in the end? Really heartwarming. Full-circle stories always hit me in the feels. 

Now the things I didn’t quite love: Some of the timeline jumping threw me off a bit, usually I can follow fairly easily so I can’t really say why this one was choppy for me. The vegetarian talk and census references left me waiting for an “aha” moment that never came. Maybe I just didn’t get it 

A little cozier than I usually reach for, but still a feel-good read that reminds you how connected we all are across time. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Embla Books for the eARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
