You with the Sad Eyes by Christina Applegate is a raw, emotional, and deeply vulnerable memoir. I have always loved Christina as an actress, but this book made me appreciate her even more as a person. She shares her story with honesty, humor, and courage, opening up about painful parts of her life, fame, illness, and survival in a way that feels incredibly human. What I loved most was her vulnerability. She does not try to make her life sound perfect or polished, and that honesty makes the book powerful. It is heartbreaking at times, but also moving and inspiring because you see her strength beneath the sadness. A beautiful, brave memoir from someone I already admired.

Absolutely loved this heartfelt story. Shelby excelled at making a connection between grief, healing, and the unexpected wisdom we receive from the creatures and people around us. Beautifully written.

Very sweet book, the right amount of spice!

Absolutely amazing second book in a series, set up the political intrigue for the second book. Very dense, but once the drama gets going, OH BOY is it GOING. The twists and turns and (slight hints at a spoiler)

This is such an amazing book. I did this as an audio book and the reader reads the book beautifully. It is the story of a young girl in high school who is struggling with being the object of male interests, of her own feelings, and of her religious mother’s requirements. It is insightful and moving and there were parts where I did not want to stop. This is a definite must read.

What a great book! And what really make it interesting is the way it is set up. It starts out as the beginning of an MFA grad student’s dissertation but then evolves into the book itself. And while it starts off as third person narrative, at some point it becomes first person, which just adds a whole new layer to the story. And to say that the story is about a man cheating on his wife and the wife maybe cheating on her husband (you’ll have to read in order to make sense of that) does not begin to do it justice.

Nice little book illustrating and explaining different ways to make and maintain friendships. Started some good conversations with my almost 5 year old

There is something about the simplicity and gentleness of the tale that makes the story beautiful. It makes these beautiful observations in the context of a boy prince traveling between planets. The beauty here is not in the story itself but in the relationship and effect the boy prince has to his environment and those around him. This is a refreshing read.
