If you like Gloria Estafan, this is a must see

My sisters and I took our mom for mother's day. We all loved it.

As a kid in the 80s I grew up listening to Gloria Estafan so the show was nostalgic. The audience was on their feet dancing along. No matter where you sit, it is difficult to have a bad seat.

If you don't know her story, the show is quite an eye opener. I also had the pleasure of seeing this show when it starred Josh Segarra who was great as Emilio Estafan.

I listened to this on Audible, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The narrator was really engaging, and the story itself was so good! Hester runs away with her sisters and her son, to escape the father of her son claiming him. They hide in a hunting lodge in Wales. Unfortunately, things don’t go as planned.
I really enjoyed E C Fremantle’s last book (The Poison Bed) and this didn’t disappoint either. Historical fiction is one of my favourite genres, and this is rich in historical detail, both in the way that people lived and their social attitudes. It’s great stuff!

After the snot fest that was my Sisters Keeper, I was expecting Handle With Care to be any different. The story is sort of the same being a sort of medical/courtroom book.

I really enjoyed the book but felt a bit cheated as I didn’t cry. I’m not going to spoil the book but the ending had the potential to start me off but it was quite sudden that the.book was over before I could blub. Def worth trawling through it though it is hard going in a heartbreaking kind of way

The concept of the fates and a magical carnival (0 more)

Heavy romance forced in and detail sacrificedtj (0 more)

Too much pressure on the romance

The first books were wonderful, like a YA night circus. However as the story progressed everything revolved around romamce, some of these 'relationships' were bordering abusive and controlling, but because everyone loves a rouge, we were supposed to forgive it. A great concept, fates trapped in cards, a carnival game that could grant your every desire, kingdoms in peril, but the story should have focused more on the sisters relationship, rather than the romance side.
