This is a sweet little story about human connections and finding a family in unlikely places, but certain aspects could have been more developed to make it stronger. I did feel for Maddy and her struggles during the beginning (I wish the serious issues she struggled with are addressed further, thoug...
Oh Arthur! This guy had a soft heart and these two ladies waltzed right into it. I really loved Maddie. Arthur met Maddie in the cemetery where she would sit and draw. They had a comfortable relationship, where nothing was expected, and it was as if the air relaxed a bit when they were together. Art...

Since their mother died, Katie and her older sister...
This book started out strong, with great characters and a plot that I became invested in very quickly but then it all fell apart before my eyes. I really don’t know what happened, I tried rereading but nothing helped me put the story back together. The beginning was smooth and established the scenar...
