Before you even ask, yes I did sob a bit during the reading of this book. It's nearly impossible to read a story like Rules for Stealing Stars and not have some deep feelings. This is a story about sisterhood. About family. About the fact that sometimes a family can seem like they're holding it toge...
Paul & Cate: Tabitha’s relationship with her parents in this book was my favorite part of Life By Committee. There wasn’t really any reason other than the fact that their relationship with their daughter was so refreshing, and they were more like friends than anything else. They had Tabitha when the...
From Goodreads: When Bea meets Beck, she knows instantly that he’s her kind of crazy. Sweet, strong, kinda-messed-up Beck understands her like no one else can. He makes her feel almost normal. He makes her feel like she could fall in love again.But despite her feelings for Beck, Bea can’t stop think...
I think the cover was a bit misleading. Or it's just me. I thought I was getting a fluffy, probably wacky love story about a girl crushing too hard on a guy. What it actually was was a powerful story about the heartbreaking struggles of living with OCD and all the denial and coping mechanisms that B...

Sorry, but no. Also I didn't like how she treated Elise (like Elise should just show up an...
One can enjoy a story while reading it but still dislike its messaging or the characters or anything else about the book. Such is the case with Life by Committee. One will enjoy it while reading it but any thoughts about the story will immediately highlight its weaknesses, which quickly overshadow a...
A Cybils book. I wasn’t super wild about this one. I appreciated some aspects of the depiction, but the relationship between Beck and Bea never quite worked for me, somehow. And I felt overall that the characters were so completely defined by their diagnosis, which bothered me.
“It’s something [someone] in a movie would do, and it’s scary and delightful and hopeful and sweet… It may be the crazy-person thing to do, but at least it’s powerful and optimistic.”(What is foreshadowing?)That whole thing up there encapsulates my feelings for this book; there’s this step by step t...
I received this book for free from Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. So, I started this one a while back when I still had a review copy. I got busy and couldn’t finish the review copy, but I checked it out from the...
