Great story
This book was very good and I would recommend it to anyone looking to a young adult fiction book that was very realistic to the families who live like the ones in the book.

This is an ok introduction to Vampire fiction and a sort of sweet story, but I encountered it as an adult and was not very impressed. However at the time my teenage daughter loved it.

Fredrik Backman has a way to make me hate and absolutely love his main characters. This book made me laugh and cry. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an Adult Fiction book. This will take you for a ride.

I'm 19% finished with this book and I have to put it down. My life is too short to read books that I cannot get into.
I was really excited to read this book. The advertising was spectacular and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to read a "Harry Potter with millenials." Unfortunately this book has fell so flat I'm having to DNF it. The characters seem to be extremely chiche & their descriptions were just awful. If this is supposed to be adult fiction you really don't need to have a description being "the hot" guy. I would expect more from any author.
The plot line seemed interesting enough but the writing has ruined any chance for me to enjoy it. It reads like a mix between young adult and middle grade fiction. This would be all fine and dandy if it wasn't being advertised as adult fiction.
All in all, I would not recommend this book.

3.5/5<br/><br/>Thanks to Dean Street Press for rereleasing this lovely book. E.H.Young writes so beautifully, I wish I had read her children's books when I was young. This #bookreview is for one of her adult fiction books. http://tcl-bookreviews.com/2020/08/03/wholly-moley/

Cath is relatable. (2 more)
Draws in young adult readers but also allows "older" adults to relate.
Made me fangirl Rainbow!
Fantastic Teen Fiction
Rainbow Rowell knows how to relate to young adult readers and how to get "older" adults to reflect back and see themselves in the characters' situations. This book made me fangirl Rainbow so bad! Cath and Wren are twins trying to create their own paths as they step into adulthood. Cath struggles along that path
