"As I watched my daughter’s delighted face as I read her this book, I would send a silent “thank you” to the brain and heart of Jamie Lee Curtis. This is a story that celebrates the excitement an adoption brings to a family, while still normalizing the experience for all children who love to know about the moment they arrived to make a family whole."

"Ahh, it's gorgeous. The images I have, just putting it on on a Saturday morning. There's something always very quiet and leisurely about a Saturday morning, and again, it's just a complete album. I like the bass sound, it's a slightly more modern sound, and the brilliant execution, the mastery of it – I would say to anybody, just have that album, put it on and relax."

I was a bit bored for the first 40 or so per-cent but then we forwarded 4 years and things got interesting. I don't want to give too much away but there's a twist near the end and I was surprised in a good way.

I'm still slightly confused about the shark though? Was it there for a reason or not?

Great movie
Great movie! Great storyline! Great castings! Little on the dark side. Can't find any faults except for the fact that it ripped my heart to pieces; I weeped like a wounded baby. Though, when I first watched it, I was a preteen or so; it scared me a little.

Not My Thing
I wanted to like this movie. I am a fan of the two leads, the director's last movie Whiplash was a masterpiece and the buzz surrounding the movie was immense. Unfortunately though, this wasn't for me. While I appreciate that this is a well made movie, it just isn't my cup of tea.

Whenever I try to include paragraphs with a line gap in between them in my reviews, it always seems to add 2 line gaps (I can't remember the technical term for this) automatically instead of just 1.

I know this probably just a paragraph/line spacing formatting thing, but is there a way of fixing this please?

I know, I know, I'm complaining about the courtroom scenes in a legal thriller, but they really seemed to slow down the pace of the story late in the second half. Overall, I did enjoy the book, however.

I won this book on a Goodreads Giveaway and I didn’t realize it was a collection of short stories all connected by one place. There were some quotes that really struck a chord with me, however, overall I really felt it was hard to get into some of the stories and connect with some of the characters.

It took me a couple of episodes to get into this show but once i did i was completely hooked. It's different to anything i've watched before, and although the story lines tend to be a little far fetched i find the show really intriguing.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I really liked this one! It has a great diverse caste of characters and a believable mostly likable protagonist.
It was totally understandable that Danny was upset about the broken promise.

I really liked the houseguests and the ghost story.
