Finished this...loved it...family relationships and a trial? A shocker of an ending!!!
Loved this book!!!
OMG...started crying on page 14...this one takes place in the part of California that we lived in and loved...it has everything...red woods, vineyards, oceans, an Italian family...a dog...a lovely dog...sob...pasta, bread...a family store...cute kids...
everything!!!
Kittens!!! this book has kittens named Thing One and Thing Two...and great food descriptions and a heart warming and heart breaking story...literally could not put it down.
I loved this book...
Reading this book right now...very mysterious...intense...fascinating...described as "the captivating, romantic, and suspenseful saga of a teen's discovery of her extraordinary destiny." I am about 50 pages in...and entranced...so far.

Illuminate sounds good. Can't wait to hear what you think of it. :)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you've been doing some great reading!!
ReplyDeleteI might have to read The Underside of Joy for the setting you describe! And all that comes with it, like the pasta, etc.
ReplyDeletePatty-you are so immersed in your books...just can't get over it. The only other person I know that is just like you, is my 10yr old granddaughter, Gabby (with an old soul)...she is always, but always reading some kind of book, (of course, on her level)
ReplyDeleteGreat books...sad to say, I just mostly read cookbooks these days!
