Book Rating

Rating: 10/5 (I know that’s stupid, but it deserves it.)

Oh boy.

Starting this book was the highlight of my weekend, I was so excited. I should have waited until next year when I had the third one securely in my hands to have started this one.

The story that was left hanging in The Hunger Games picks right back up again, and drags you into the action from the first chapter. I’m not going to give anything away, but I will say that at times I laughed very hard, and at other times I very nearly cried. Obviously, a book that can make you cry is a good one.

Problem is, I want the third one RIGHT NOW!

From a writer’s perspective, it had a great ending. From a reader’s perspective, I’m very mad at Suzanne Collins right now. Those dreaded words almost killed me: END OF BOOK TWO. Nooooo…….

Read it. that’s all I have to say about that.

Until next time,

~Haley

Thank God I'm not the only one!

Just like with here first book, Sarah has done another great job being refreshingly honest about the realities as life as a mum.
She knows not all mum's experience parenthood like she does, but for those of us who have found it more of a challenge than we anticipated, it is so nice to have others say the same.
This one has the odd sniping from her social media feeds, a bit by the man behind the mum, and even a chapter from one of the boys perspective.
My main issue with is my only reading time is when (if) my baby naps, so I need to sit quietly, and this book has made me laugh out loud and nearly woken him up on several occasions. I mean, it's like she did not take that into consideration 😂.
What the hell do I read now?!?!
