5 star review! WOW! Katherine Center is becoming my favorite author! I laugh, I cry, I smile at her ending every single novel that is written by Center!

WOW! In my opinion, one of the best books that I will read this year! It was very well written, an interesting plot, and the characters were all interesting.

Unpopular opinion: I am rating this novel a 3.5 star rating. Something was missing in this story. I did not connect to it. I felt emotionally withdrawn from the characters. I think there were TOO many characters in this novel to really get a grip. They jumped from character to character. I felt not connected […]
A 5 star review! Katherine Center has become one of my favorite authors. Her writing just flows and characters are just loveable. What a great story! It tackled a lot of heavy topics (school shootings and PTSD). But underneath all of that was a nice love story! I loved all the characters! I love it […]
I am giving this novel a 4 star review. I had just finished “In Five Years” and loved that novel! So I decided to read another book by Rebecca Serle. Her novels are so creative and thought invoking. This was no exception. I was not expecting this type of novel. I say this every time […]
I am giving this book a 2.5 star review. Although the character development and writing style was good, I just did not care about the characters or plot. This novel is about a dysfunctional family. The matriarch wins a “Jettsetters” trip. She takes her three adult children. Each character has their own problems and each […]
I am giving this novel a 5 star review. I really thought I would not like this novel as much as I did. I thought time travel like this would be confusing. But the author writes this story and it is amazing. The characters are all great. I could not put this book down. It […]
