![]() ![]() She’s a heroine on par with any other, and I’m excited to see where the story takes her next. Only people playing the victim while others fight to get by. We so often get images of Blacks as victims, waiting to be saved-there are no victims in this book. ![]() They, and the other Black characters in the book, demonstrate both a deadly practicality in the face of white savagery, and a cunning, proactive ability to manipulate white prejudice to survive. One of the strongest threads of the book is about how these three Black young adults use the perceptions of the white people around them to their advantage. The unfurling of Katherine’s backstory, the glimpses of Jane’s mother and backstory through the letters at the start of each chapter, even Red Jack and his soft spot for his sisterthey all lent a depth to the material and got you invested in a hopeful outcomeor as hopeful as. I would love to see Dread Nation taught in schools along with Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn, juxtaposing who the two stories center and how they upend the social hierarchy in different ways. I’ve spouted a lot of praise of Jane, but truly many of the characters in Dread Nation caught my attention. ![]() Dread Nation is suitable for most readers, definitely down into the mid-teen age ranges, yet the themes around slavery, freedom, and self-determination work well for adults too. ![]() ![]() ![]() Instead of a posh university, a prestigious boy’s boarding school, where Something Bad happened years before, links them together. Instead of getting snowed in at a hunting lodge in the Scottish Highlands, the large cast of characters find themselves marooned on an Irish island, the venue for a no-expenses-spared destination wedding. Though The Guest List is not as tightly wound as its predecessor, Foley stokes the same tensions between locals and outsiders, nature and civilization, history and memory, while changing enough details to keep readers guessing. The Guest List wisely sticks to the formula that propelled The Hunting Party to its shocking conclusion : old friends (and frenemies) reunite in a scenic, secluded locale, where they reveal long-buried secrets and avenge ancient grudges over a few action-packed days. ![]() British author Lucy Foley wrote three unremarkable historical novels before switching genres and landing on the bestseller list with her crackling 2019 thriller The Hunting Party, which read like a cross between Agatha Christie and Donna Tartt. With an island setting, a celebrity wedding, and a body count, The Guest List would be this summer’s hot beach read if any of us could to go the beach. ![]() ![]() Dystopian novels usually depict totalitarian governments that dehumanize their citizens and cause a decline in society.

That book captured me, and I’ve been itching to know how Lina and Phil are doing. I have been really looking forward to the sequel of A White Picket Fence. This is a story of second chances, loyalty and redemption as the Hunters try to put their lives and family back together. Phil also has a baby with another woman, the by-product of a four-month affair. Twenty-five years later, they have successful careers, three teenage children and a beautiful home. Is their love powerful enough to overcome a betrayal that shook the foundation of their marriage?

Not I, but progress.’). ![]() ![]() ![]() This will make it a lot easier on you if your crush doesn’t feel the same way back, since they’ll be able to use your friend as a buffer and not hurt your feelings to your face.

Writing has romance written all over it, and it’s not every day that you receive a letter, much less one declaring feelings about you! If you’re trying to move in with a sonnet playing in the air, the letter is for you. There’s a reason that love letters are called love letters and not love texts.
