So beautifully written, heart break and bittersweet. This book makes you feel so many emotions. So much detail. I loved how all the chapters were broken down into mini chapters. Definitely one of my favorite historical fiction books!

Very cute and funny. Loved it as always.

It was a good thriller.. kept me on the edge of my seat.

Feel very connected to the main character. Action packed, heart warming, rage building and a love story

If you are Irish and want to know more about Ireland’s struggle for Independence as well as get lost in Irish folklore, this book’s for you.

Best read of 2026!

Historical fiction novel for anyone reading interested in the sinking of the Titanic. Makes you feel like you were there. Even though you may have read books and seen the movies this will stay with you long after the last page is done.

Great thriller. Lots of twists and turns. Reese Witherspoon is a great reader for her own book.

Highly recommend to anyone who likes punk, memoirs about youth, or histories of music and culture. Very compelling account of growing up as a Black punk teen in rural Southern California. Spooner not only shares his own experience of being marginalized as a mixed race kid in predominantly white, small town America, but also shows some of the paths to radicalization that his peers fell to, and the ways we can tolerate bigotry in the hope of coexisting “peacefully” (and how that’s doomed to fail). It’s also an incredible history of that era of punk; both giving larger context and the experience of being a kid in the pre-internet age, where access to music, culture and information was limited. While the story does get heavy, there is such a strong thread of heart and hope throughout. The joy of finding belonging and community in people who understand you is a core theme.

This book was an enjoyable Romance book between two individuals from different cultural backgrounds, and how they navigated their language, upbringing, and thoughts to come together. I would recommend the read.
