"4.5

I devoured this. On paper, I should've been avoiding it: medical details (I'm so squeamish) + pandemic (I like to escape, not read about the now) + pregnancy and labor difficulties (I'm currently pregnant and easily made anxious).

But it added up to just the right thing at the right time. I was so so interested in every little detail! "

"3.5

My second Maeve Binchy after Circle of Friends. Some similarities? Yes indeed. After these two books I'm suspicious of all men. And beautiful best friends, which should be outlawed.

But like the first, it was cozy and atmospheric and full of a huge, fun cast of characters. There were definitely some tear-jerking moments. Also some cringing, but nothing too crazy. It's easy, fast reading that kept me entertained from start to finish!"

Once There Were Wolves

by: Charlotte McConaghy
Ave. Rating: 4.1

"4.5

I’ve never read anything like this. Amazing.
It moved me in a deep place, a place in me that loves trees and wilderness. That wants to be alone in nature, but when it gets there is not alone.

Ecological literature? Is this a thing? If so, I’m in.
(I suppose the Peter Heller novels I’ve read would fall in that category- loved that part of those too)"

"Another compulsively readable story from this author. I read it so fast even though the plot didn’t really move till the last quarter of the book. How did she keep me flipping pages? I really don’t know because I didn’t connect with the protagonist, I felt like the pacing was awkward.. The ending definitely brought it all together- it was very moving even though, again, it was awkwardly paced. This was a smidge away from a 4.5 for me. I think I’ll definitely have to sit with it for a while to really absorb it. I know there’s good stuff in there, but it may take me a bit."
