Welcome to Stanhope. A safe neighborhood. A place for families. William Wooler is a family man, on the surface. But he’s been having an affair, an affair that ended horribly this afternoon at a motel up the road. So when he returns to his house, devastated and angry, to find his difficult nine-year-old daughter, Avery, unexpectedly home from school, William loses his temper. Hours later, Avery’s family declares her missing. Suddenly Stanhope doesn’t feel so safe. And William isn’t the only one on his street who’s hiding a lie.

Historia
Duchess Day Radley is a 13-year-old self-proclaimed outlaw. Rules are for other people. She is the fierce protector of her five-year-old brother, Robin, and the parent to her mother, Star, a single mom incapable of taking care of herself, let alone her two kids. Walk has never left the coastal California town where he and Star grew up. He may have become the chief of police, but he’s still trying to heal the old wound of having given the testimony that sent his best friend, Vincent King, to prison decades before. And he's in overdrive protecting Duchess and her brother.

Emotional Rollercoaster
Revisado: 12-03-24
Good story but didn't love the writing nor the narrative style. The book, especially first half seemed to be written sparsely using as few words as possible. At times I felt as if I were reading a poem. The chapter breaks were not read in usual style. There were often no breaks in breath from one chapter to the next. Took a beat to realize that you were now with another character and therefore I often had to rewind.

Beautifully written and performed. This book will stay with me...the characters are so well defined that I feel to personally know each of them. A love story and a mystery, each done to perfection.

Breathy Reader, Unlikable People
Revisado: 11-13-23
I don't know why I finished this book, I should have trusted my instincts and quit at chapter 2. Madeleine Astor, according to this book, was a sweet beautiful angel walking amongst us. I found her insufferable. Add to that the fact that J Astor was 29 yrs older and wed Madeleine when she was 18 and younger than his son...nope.

Literally could not put this book down. I tried to make myself slow down because I wanted to make the book last longer, but couldn't do it.

Historia
Why we think it’s a great listen: There’s no gentle way to put this – Frank McCourt’s performance of Angela’s Ashes is just better than the Pulitzer Prize-winning book. Frank McCourt shares his sometimes heartwarming, sometimes heartbreaking story of growing up poor, Irish, and Catholic in the Pulitzer Prize-winning memoir Angela's Ashes.

Amazing
Revisado: 06-02-23
I felt so many emotions listening to this book. Heartbreak and sadness, but there were also times that I laughed until my eyes got teary. What a journey, what a man.

Fictional Emily is Insufferable
Revisado: 04-01-22
The engineers wife’s accomplishment in being a key figure in building the Brooklyn Bridge is nothing short of amazing for the time. That said, her fictional character was insufferable. I found her so dislikable that I almost didn’t finish the book. The character didn’t seem to have any self awareness of her less desirable traits.

A book about covid caught my attention
Revisado: 12-20-21
I was interested to read about a character’s covid experience and yes, there are a few political messages in the book and I didn’t mind them. That said, I did not enjoy this book at all. I thought the main character was unlikeable at best and the entire Galapagos plot was a far reach. I finished the book but it felt like a chore and I’m disappointed as I have enjoyed all of Jodi Picoult’s previous books.
