The Sweetest Thing – Christina Mandelski
Sheridan’s father’s reality tv show changes her world, her cake business, and her understanding of love as she comes to terms with the bitter and the sweet things in her life.
OyMG – Amy Fellner Dominy
Debate dynamo Ellie grapples with faith, bigotry, boys, grandparents, the perfect matzo ball soup recipe, and staying true to herself when it counts most.
Never Eighteen – Megan Bostic
In the last stages of terminal cancer, Austin lives for the moment by mending fences in his own life and allowing others to begin the process for themselves in this intense, spare read.
One sentence reviewing is an amazing talent. Thank you
Gosh I wouldn’t be able to review a book in one sentence. Haha, it would be a realllllly long run-on sentence. Never Eighteen sounds like a very touching read, and OyMG sounds like a super fun one.
One sentence hooks are brutal to write. well done. cheers.
I agree, a one-sentence review would be challenging, for sure. I think the review for OyMG is very well done.
These all sound awesome! Thanks, Caroline. I’m especially interested in that last one. I’m always in awe of “spare” novels.
Amy
Those look fantastic- like someone commented above, the “spare” part is one of the hardest things to do. It’s so much easier to word vomit 🙂
That IS a talent, being able to distill a book down to its essence in one sentence. But other than that last one (which I really really want to read now because I love intense, spare reads!), we don’t know how you feel about the books.
I ADORED OyMG! I’ll have to check out Never Eighteen now!
