Absolutely essential reading. We need to see PoC voices represented across the media, especially in publishing. I'm so sick of seeing white as the default - seeing iterations of the same story over and over again is so incredibly boring.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is one of those books you can read over, and over, and over and never get sick of it. Douglas Adams is a genius with words and can weave a tale like no other.

This is by far my most favorite book from this author. This definitely tested my limits in one part to where I had to take a break. Yolanda never disappoints when it comes to her sick and demented ways.

This book made me sick at times. What Danny went through was horrible thanks to his idiot father. This book is disturbing, disgusting, and very emotional. I will never forget this book. I did like this book but it hit my hard limits.

Meghan Gerard is sick. There is no rational explanation for why she keeps getting sick. She has seen countless doctors and she has no diagnosis. Is she making herself sick, is her mother making her sick? What is going on in this girl's life that is making her body shut down. After finding a doctor that may have finally found out what is wrong with Meghan, other doctors are convinced that it's all in her head or her mother is experiencing Munchausen by proxy. What is real and what is psychosomatic?

Thank you to St. Martin's Press for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I was really looking forward to this book. For me it started off a little slow. Building up the the point of interest. Can you imagine what you would do if your child was sick and there was nothing you could do make them better? What if YOU were accused of being the reason why your child was sick? For the Gerard family, Meghan's health is at the focus of everything. Her parents, Becky and Carl, blame each other for Meghan's problems as well.

Even though the first part of this book started off slowly, it did pick up toward the end. Then I devoured the rest of it, staying up late to finish. I had no idea how this story was going to end up and for that it boosted the star rating.

Who is to blame for Meghan's health? Is it Becky, her mother, who was forced as a child to lie and cheat the system saying that her mother was ill in order to continue to receive disability checks. Is it Carl, the father who thinks that Becky is just too smothering and needs to give Meghan a break from all the doctor visits. Or is is Meghan herself, finding ways to keep the attention on herself? The reality is very shocking.

Movie Favorite

"It’s difficult; I have so many. But moving right along, a French film, Queen Margot. I love the story, and I love the performances. Jean-Hugues Anglade plays the phenomenal character of this sort of sick, dying king. So that’s one of my favorites."
