I saw this book in my public library as I was glancing around to see what was there. I saw the title picked it up and flipped it over. When I read the back it pulled me because it says "When someone you love has died, there is a certain grace period during which you can get away with murder. Not lit...
I really wanted Danny to find peace or something when he went to Tokyo as his mood really depressed me. His mother had died a few months ago, his father passed away a few years ago and his sister basically left and he was alone. He was searching in Tokyo for whatever made his mother so happy when ...
A copy of this novel was provided by Bloomsbury Australia for review. Yet another two star read for yours truly. I seriously don’t know what’s going on at the moment with me and my reads – it is thoroughly disappointing that I am reading so many mediocre books at the moment, especially when they h...
The Mockingbirds was an incredibly interesting novel. A student collective that runs trials against student crimes? Sounds pretty fabulous. I felt at times it was hard to get a grasp on who our main character, Alex, really was. I know that she enjoyed playing piano, and that she got date raped (whic...
My goodness. There are very few books that make me cry just within the first few chapters. And this one…this one hit me in the heart fast. Plot: As a parent of a little boy, I can’t imagine dying right before his graduation. But this plot…this plot grabs the reader right away. The range of emotion...

This is the first book by Daisy Whitney that I've read, and I'm glad I did. Told from a male point of view, the story is beautifully handled, juxtaposing Danny's humdrum LA, where he barely knows how to function after his mom dies, with the buzzing, colorful, alternately crowded and serene Tokyo, wh...

Now Danny is left alone, with only his memories, his dog, and his heart-breaking ex-girlfriend for company. He doesn't know how to figure out what to do with her estate,...
So bummed I didn't enjoy this one. I wasn't a fan f the narrator and I had trouble figuring out whether he was more upset by the passing of his mom or the break-up with his girlfriend. And the "mystery" was a little too over to top for me.

Confused, lost, and alone, Danny tries to figure out why she didn't hold on and how he will ever be happy again. With a father that died six years ago and an adopted sister exploring he...
