A great story with a lot of things happening that wrapped up quickly and in a largely unsatisfactory way.

Incredibly harrowing and enticing. The “misery” pieces were the only ones I felt less interested in.

There's a Word for That by Sloane Tanen
4.0
This was an easy read, and you really do end up liking the characters. I always appreciate when an author makes sure every character has flaws. It's just a good book that entertains you and makes you feel good. It's not particularly deep or thought-provoking, but if you're looking for a good book to read on the beach or curled up on a snow day, this could be it.
