Love, Lists, and Fancy Ships by Sarah Grunder Ruiz

5.0

I loved this one. I loved Last Call at the Local and I was determined to go back and read the first two, and it was the right choice! I’m already excited about the next one - seeing Nina and Ollie before and after has been so good I KNOW their book is going to be great!

This was heavy! It deals with grief and how it looks on different people and how hard it is to feel so much but also like you don’t deserve to feel as much as you do. I thought it was written SO well. Watching Jo grieve her nephew and then having her nieces come and stay with her and her tip toeing around them because she doesn’t want to upset them when in reality they ALL should be talking about it but none of them know how because it’s just HARD - it was done so well.

And Alex and Greyson were such a good addition to the story! Greyson needed Mia and Kitty just as much as they needed her. And ALEX AND JO!! They were FANTASTIC. It was tough, their little miscommunications but it also made perfect sense  for where they both were emotionally. 

It was just SO GOOD.
