Fantastic read. Well written with some very colorful characters. I was engrossed from start to finish. This is about Teresa's mothers struggles while getting better after a stroke and about Tessa being in a Carnival. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Netgalley

This book is really cute. It’s a good story about friendship and adventure. Two best friends are told they can’t be friends anymore due to a fight between their mothers, so they decide to spend the summer living at an abandoned put put course. They meet new friends, learn more about themselves and each other. Would Recommend

An ok film made slightly more exceptional due to the performances of the leading actors. I still don't believe it was Oscar material though but maybe in the 70's it was deemed more hard-hitting as it was virtually unheard of that mothers just upped and left their children behind? I have no facts to back that up it's just conjecture. I can't say the film is particularly memorable though.

I honestly wasn’t sure how much I would like this one since I am not yet a mother, so I can’t relate to all the things these new mothers are going through. However, once I started reading it was pretty difficult to stop! There are a lot of real issues that new mothers go through from wanting to appear perfect to feeling like they aren’t good enough. Then there’s a baby that goes missing, a baby from a mommy group the main characters are a part of, and there’s a ton of whodunnit, crime blog searching, amateur detective work going on. You don’t know who is telling the truth or even whose perspective you are reading from. I thought I knew what was going on and thought I was so smart having figured it all out but I was definitely wrong (about pretty much everything!). This was a good, quick read and actually had an ending that is satisfying and doesn’t feel rushed.

I enjoy this era a bit. I kept interest in WWII. I also like the way this book went about differently and how things got complicated between the father and mother of the book. I also like how a romance happened between a white soldier and a black soldier sister. You learn about some of the things going on Civil Rights. You see it though his daughters, their mothers. It really is a good book.
