Review of The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune
This is charming, with quirky characters, but it felt like a middle-grade book to me.

Review of The Beauty of Breaking: A Memoir by Michele Harper
Harper is appealingly centered despite upheaval in her life, but I didn't feel drawn into her admittedly interesting experiences.

Review of Shiner by Amy Jo Burns
The women's lifelong friendship felt like the heart of the story and was a fantastic element.

Review of My Name is Lucy Barton by Elizabeth Strout
