Good Game for young kids....
it's a fun little game, doesn't take very long unless everyone is distracted. Which sometimes happens with young kids. The good news with this is that it's not hard to jump right in and take someone else's turn, so you can play teams, and the adults can play and let the kids sub in if you like. There is a very real strategy in placement, so the game goes deeper if you want it. There is a also a feeling of not being threatened for the first 5-10 turns. there's not much analysis paralysis until late in the game when options are low. so it's an ok game for Adults, but a very good game for kids.

The protagonist in this book is Rosemary and the book is told from her perspective. I really liked Rosemary, she is a very intuitive, intelligent, caring and adventurous young girl, that can see people’s moods or auras. I really liked the variety of characters chosen for the book, all the characters are very unusual and unique personalities. The adults are messy, strange, depressed, and that gave the book great vibes.

Not just for young adults
My daughter bought this book on a whim, so whilst she was finishing up reading another book, I decided to read this, and I’m so glad that I did!
The story is well written, and you can feel the emotions coming from Juliette like you are in the room with her. I’ve already ordered the rest of the books, 6 in the set now, for Christmas!

Surprisingly bittersweet, well crafted
I was initially apprehensive with this book as I assumed it was for young adults, however I was surprised to find how well written and intricately constructed it was.
The narrative shifts between a young undocumented woman, originally from Jamaica but brought up in the U.S., and an American-born Korean, who find each other on her last day before she is deported. In between are segways of an unknown voice who delves into the different characters and their backgrounds. The book explores fate and free will and whether there is an overarching hand that shapes this.
Their romance resembles that of 'Before Sunset', which was enjoyable but obviously the dialogue in this novel is not as intelligent. It's bittersweet, coming-of-age, and takes you back to young love.

Soul-moving realism
This is probably my favourite Zadie Smith novel, deeply touching with characters bursting to life out of the pages. Hitting on themes of racial identity and pop culture, it is a brilliant contemporary take on what young adults are currently experiencing. From cultural appropriation to the effects of globalisation all summed up in the relationship of one young woman and her peers.
Her relationship with her mother is one of generational divide while with her friend Tracy is one of class divide. The protagonist's character is the epitome of confusion and attempting to find a place in the world. Well worth the praise.
