Kyland by Mia Sheridan
5.0

You can keep your million/billionaires with a penchant for whips and blindfolds. Who needs them when you can have someone like Kyland Barrett. He is dirt poor, sometimes he has to steal food to eat but he has a heart of pure solid gold.

I look in my fridge and see it full of food. Kyland made me feel grateful for what I have and humbled at the thought of those without.

I was lost in thoughts of Walton's mountain and The Little House on the Prairie stories from my childhood. This book conjured those beautiful tales of simple life that I rush too quickly through my modern life to think of. Time to slow down and smell the lavender.

Was I the only one who felt the nods to Colleen Hoover? I loved the reading of the classics in the library. I adore George Eliot. Talking of classics, for one scary minute or two, I thought this book was going to have the same ending as Germinal by Emile Zola but thankfully it didn't. Big relief.

Mia Sheridan, oomph. She takes the humble and ordinary and creates the most thought provoking books with characters that make you want to be a better person. The unloved, abused foster kids, the town outcast with a disability, the hill billies who people consider worthless trailer trash, the shallow porn star - Mia turns the world on its head to show there is beauty to be found in places you wouldn't think of. You just have to open your eyes and look.

I can't wait for my Virgo book.
