Such a cute story about hockey, love and pies. I love bittle. He is so sweet and really loves to bring everyone together. The ending was amazing. I can’t wait to read the second volume.

I loved how there was a mixture of 3 stories in one book. It was still on the same core characters and it just blended well together.

It’s a really gripping story. I love the relationship these children have even after all the shitty things he go through. They are troupers!! Mr King needs to work on his endings though, they always wrap up so quickly.

I haven’t loved a book this much in quite some time. Each character is so relatable and it makes you instantly fall in love with them. I love Alice’s writing and what she creates for us all to read.
I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer by Michelle McNamara
Did not finish book.
Did not finish book.
I REALLLY wanted to finish this book but I just couldn’t get through the middle. I low key skipped a few chapters and read some of the end. I loved the beginning but found it a bit repetitive.
