The illustrations, rhymes, and story behind this book we're lovely.

They're were a lot of gimmicks that didn't translate well to a book (scripted phone call with her dad that felt forced because yeah, he's not an actor, a bit about trying to sing but the reader stopping her). There's every chance this gets better later or that someone who follows Lauren Graham would love it, but it was rapid fire and kooky in a way that was almost Lorelai Gilmore but just a note or two off leaving it more hard to follow than whimsical and caffeinated.

I think any kids with an interest in oceanography would find this am exciting installment in a great series I loved growing up.

I listened to the Celebrity Book Club episode on this one last year, so I already had the cliff's notes. I did not expect to finish this book with new respect for Jessica. And a string desire to have more children immediately. It's a nice story that, imo, gets more interesting post Nick, which is when she sorry of fell off my radar.

As a kid's story out felt a little stilted though that may be because I kept wanting to sing it and it's not quite the right for that either. I think this would be a great gift for a patent out grandparent who loves Bowie though.

Did not know about the children's march prior to reading this to my son. Ended up crying. There's still so much to learn.

I hate giving low reviews but I really did not enjoy this. The love interest felt like a bit of an ass and that never changed. We were just suddenly told they were in love and that was that. I like the taste-voiant thing as a concept, but the way it actually played into the story kind of fell flat. Lumi was a decent character though, and I loved hearing about her takes on various dishes.

I know nothing about this book going in except that it was a new Angie Thomas book and it all was seasonable from the library when I checked. Turns out this was the perfect time to read it. You don't usually expect ya to describe parenthood so well, but being a new parent myself definitely helped me imagine Maverick's life better. I loved learning more about him after The Hate You Give and the way this book ended right before the stuff Starr tells you happened was perfect.
