Her sister has been dead for fifteen years when she sees her on the TV news... Josie Bianci was killed years ago on a train during a terrorist attack. Gone forever. It's what her sister, Kit, an ER doctor in Santa Cruz, has always believed. Yet all it takes is a few heart-wrenching seconds to upend Kit's world. Live coverage of a club fire in Auckland has captured the image of a woman stumbling through the smoke and debris. Her resemblance to Josie is unbelievable. And unmistakable. With it comes a flood of emotions--grief, loss, and anger--that Kit finally has a chance to put to rest: by finding the sister who's been living a lie. After arriving in New Zealand, Kit begins her journey with the memories of the past: of days spent on the beach with Josie. Of a lost teenage boy who'd become part of their family. And of a trauma that has haunted Kit and Josie their entire lives. Now, if two sisters are to reunite, it can only be by unearthing long-buried secrets and facing a devastating truth that has kept them apart far too long. To regain their relationship, they may have to lose everything.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx27q307fkcc6kw8f1n6txfb.jpg?v=a7b3ea5c58","LjPOxM%ewJoI~BbYr?s:4WV@WVof",[210],{"id":211,"slug":212,"name":213},"01kqmpkjemdkvg0gbwh41jp96z","barbara-samuel-pue8","Barbara Samuel",[215,216],{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":219,"complexity":8,"audience":88,"mood":220,"themes":223,"setting_period":8,"summary":8,"content_warnings":8},"moderate",[221,222],"emotional","nostalgic",[224,225],"dual-timeline","family-saga",{"id":227,"slug":228,"title":229,"description":230,"primary_cover_url":231,"cover_blurhash":232,"first_publish_year":233,"community_rating_avg":234,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":235,"authors":236,"genres":241,"series":244,"enrichment":245},"01kx28dx288rcq74f050x46dg5","from-notting-hill-with-love-actually-kiiv","From Notting Hill with Love...

It’s empowering and surprising—a reminder to put down the phone and enjoy each moment for what it is.” —The Washington Post A deliciously funny, remarkably poignant, and simply unputdownable novel about the power of friendship, the lure of frenemies, and the importance of making peace with yourself through all life’s ups and downs. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Good in Bed and Best Friends Forever, Big Summer is the perfect escape with one of the most lovable heroines to come to the page in years. Six years after the fight that ended their friendship, Daphne Berg is shocked when Drue Cavanaugh walks back into her life, looking as lovely and successful as ever, with a massive favor to ask. Daphne hasn’t spoken one word to Drue in all this time—she doesn’t even hate-follow her ex-best friend on social media—so when Drue asks if she will be her maid-of-honor at the society wedding of the summer, Daphne is rightfully speechless. Drue was always the one who had everything—except the ability to hold onto friends. Meanwhile, Daphne’s no longer the same self-effacing sidekick she was back in high school. She’s built a life that she loves, including a growing career as a plus-size Instagram influencer. Letting glamorous, seductive Drue back into her life is risky, but it comes with an invitation to spend a weekend in a waterfront Cape Cod mansion. When Drue begs and pleads and dangles the prospect of cute single guys, Daphne finds herself powerless as ever to resist her friend’s siren song. A sparkling novel about the complexities of female relationships, the pitfalls of living out loud and online, and the resilience of the human heart, Big Summer is a witty, moving story about family, friendship, and figuring out what matters most.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx23cqcdwmwt79685qn809qt.jpg?v=fb7c788486","L8Ss50?b~q?b-;j[xuj[_3ayIUj[",2020,368,[346],{"id":347,"slug":348,"name":349},"01kr6ej2eh8xgqx0t6kawqmtys","jennifer-weiner-niyf","Jennifer Weiner",[351,352],{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},{"id":353,"name":354,"slug":355,"is_fiction":20},144,"Women's Fiction","womens-fiction",[],{"pace":86,"complexity":8,"audience":88,"mood":358,"themes":359,"setting_period":8,"summary":8,"content_warnings":8},[90,222],[360],"second-chance",{"id":362,"slug":363,"title":364,"description":365,"primary_cover_url":366,"cover_blurhash":367,"first_publish_year":368,"community_rating_avg":8,"community_rating_count":17,"page_count":189,"authors":369,"genres":374,"series":384,"enrichment":385},"01kx23dvwgbjkhpjty673fthv8","lost-lake-cpaf","Lost Lake","Now a New York Times Bestseller From the author of the beloved bestseller Garden Spells comes a beautiful, haunting story of old loves and new, and the power of the connections that bind us forever...The first time Eby Pim saw Lost Lake, it was on a picture postcard. Just an old photo and a few words on a small square of heavy stock, but when she saw it, she knew she was seeing her future.That was half a life ago. Now Lost Lake is about to slip into Eby's past. Her husband George is long passed. Most of her demanding extended family are gone. All that's left is a once-charming collection of lakeside cabins succumbing to the Southern Georgia heat and damp, and an assortment of faithful misfits drawn back to Lost Lake year after year by their own unspoken dreams and desires.It's a lot, but not enough to keep Eby from relinquishing Lost Lake to a developer with cash in hand, and calling this her final summer at the lake. Until one last chance at family knocks on her door.Lost Lake is where Kate Pheris spent her last best summer at the age of twelve, before she learned of loneliness, and heartbreak, and loss. Now she's all too familiar with those things, but she knows about hope too, thanks to her resilient daughter Devin, and her own willingness to start moving forward. Perhaps at Lost Lake her little girl can cling to her own childhood for just a little longer... and maybe Kate herself can rediscover something that slipped through her fingers so long ago.One after another, people find their way to Lost Lake, looking for something that they weren't sure they needed in the first place: love, closure, a second chance, peace, a mystery solved, a heart mended. Can they find what they need before it's too late? At once atmospheric and enchanting, Lost Lake shows Sarah Addison Allen at her finest, illuminating the secret longings and the everyday magic that wait to be discovered in the unlikeliest of places.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx23dvwze7k7n3tyxwr53ea9.jpg?v=2c82c7c215","L2A^,V4h4mMV00x@yXt200?#Hat]",2014,[370],{"id":371,"slug":372,"name":373},"01kx23dvwtvj0q2d73thhb3yp1","sarah-addison-allen-qdhk","Sarah Addison Allen",[375,376,380],{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},{"id":377,"name":378,"slug":379,"is_fiction":20},22,"Magical Realism","magical-realism",{"id":381,"name":382,"slug":383,"is_fiction":20},4,"Romance","romance",[],{"pace":386,"complexity":8,"audience":88,"mood":387,"themes":389,"setting_period":8,"summary":8,"content_warnings":8},"slow",[118,222,388],"atmospheric",[360,225,390],"multiple-povs",{"id":392,"slug":393,"title":394,"description":395,"primary_cover_url":396,"cover_blurhash":397,"first_publish_year":398,"community_rating_avg":147,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":399,"authors":400,"genres":405,"series":408,"enrichment":409},"01kx23exw152pdepnjefergk0n","fly-away-playaway-firefly-lane-bk-2-hqdj","Fly Away Playaway Firefly Lane Bk. 2","Fly away is the story of three women who have lost their way and need each other-- plus a miracle-- to transform their lives.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx23exwew20cqxs9kh6njyeb.jpg?v=b8628e2561","LsP6Enui+u%#%3ozWAR*%LjsIVWB",2013,16,[401],{"id":402,"slug":403,"name":404},"01kjstbt2etnamk8rhspqrt6wm","kristin-hannah-fmra","Kristin Hannah",[406,407],{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},{"id":353,"name":354,"slug":355,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":219,"complexity":8,"audience":88,"mood":410,"themes":412,"setting_period":8,"summary":8,"content_warnings":8},[221,411],"hopeful",[],{"id":414,"slug":415,"title":416,"description":417,"primary_cover_url":418,"cover_blurhash":419,"first_publish_year":398,"community_rating_avg":147,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":420,"authors":421,"genres":426,"series":430,"enrichment":431},"01kx23ja140exgw29ne81qt914","love-request-hvqd","Love Request","All you really need to hear is your heart...

In New York, Ruby undertakes the venerable tradition of Poker Night—a way (as men have always known) to eat, drink, smoke, analyze, interrupt one another, share stories, and, most of all, raise the stakes. There’s Skorka, model by profession, homewrecker by vocation; Jenn, willing to cross county lines for true love; Danielle, recently divorced, seducer of at least one father\u002Fson combo in her quest to make up for perceived “missed opportunities.” When Ruby falls for her boss, Michael, all bets are off. He’s a challenge. He’s her editor. And he wants her to stop being quippy and clever and become the writer—and the woman—he knows she can be. Adding to Ruby’s uncertainty is his amazing yet ambiguous kiss in the elevator, and the enjoyably torturous impasse of he-loves-me, he-loves-me-not. What happens when you realize that Mr. Right has his own unresolved past? Where does that leave the future you envisioned? Ruby knows that happy endings aren’t for cowards, and she hasn’t lost hope that there are risks worth taking. As smart as it is laugh-out-loud funny, Girls’ Poker Night is a twenty-first-century His Girl Friday and a re-freshingly upbeat look at friendship, work, and love.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx240vnvztnv2fbwcca3sewg.jpg?v=3912e75ba2","L6RCuf_K}:~D*IQCpco{~VxvD4Md",2003,244,[557,561],{"id":558,"slug":559,"name":560},"01kx240vnj7rpkk5wk3jp95gnq","jill-davis-geqk","Jill Davis",{"id":562,"slug":563,"name":564},"01kx240vnnqsv4qvd5zjfwxtnq","jill-a-davis-lijf","Jill A.

This review may contain SPOILERS**\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Individutopia follows the life of an Individual named Renee, as she survives living, working, and competing in London, a large city filled with thousands of other Individuals who are also living, working, and competing.  Renee only interacts with her avatar images, created by her at various stages of her life.  She is able to monitor her debt and order all the products she needs through a feed she sees in special lenses called Plenses.  Her avatars cheer for her, keeping her motivated to be the best Individual she can be, as she interviews for jobs and competes with other Individuals to rise up in the ranks of the workforce.  Then, one day, something goes wrong and this one incident puts her on a path to let go of her individualism and seek out companions and relationships, things she has never had.  This path leads her outside of London to an unfamiliar territory where she has to learn how to live as part of a society.  Living within a society changes her in ways she didn’t expect.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>I was intrigued by the plot of the story and it did not disappoint.  The London society Renee lives in is all about the individual.  Renee only interacts with the avatars she has made and has never met or spent time with any of the people she’s competing against.  At the beginning of the story, we are informed of Renee’s debt and how the debt system works within this society that isn’t a society.  The individuals living in the city are charged various amounts for doing basic everyday things, such as steps taken or breaths inhaled.  It’s difficult to know what London looks like since Renee’s vision is affected by special lenses she wears, called Plenses.  The Plenses allow her to see her own avatars as she interviews for jobs on a daily basis.  When she makes money from various jobs performed, her debt goes down, but it immediately goes back up as she buys necessities like food and hygiene products, very much like our current society.  We earn, we spend, we spend a lot of time on our cell phones and on social media, and maybe not enough time with real people.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Renee’s life starts to change when she destroys a kettle, and it throws her off the track she’s on.  This destruction and the following confusion it causes in her head leads to her leaving London in search of others who want to be with her.  She doesn’t have a word for what she is looking for, all she knows is that she wants to find another Individual that wants to be with her – two Individuals existing together.  Renee is a good example of our own society -- for all of the time we spend on our cellphones interacting with social media, we spend less time with others, but deep down there is a part of us that desires to be with other people.  Renee discovers this desire and seeks out a society of people, and begins to learn what it is like to share with others, cooperate within a group, and how to feel real emotions for other people.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>I think this book is a thought-provoking exploration of society and the impact technology and social media has on our lives.  We spend a lot of time interacting with the world through Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and other social media sites, that our vision becomes distorted.  We see the world through a false lens, impacted by the seemingly perfect lives others share on their social media feeds.  It’s when we put down the phones and spend time with other people, that our lives become richer.  That is exactly what happens to Renee.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>A short note about the closure of the book: throughout the book, Renee steps over a homeless man living on the street outside of her “pod”.  At the end of the book, we discover who this man is and why he’s on the street rather than being a part of the Individutopia of London.  It was not something I expected.  I also was surprised by the reveal of the omniscient Narrator, also not what I expected.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Overall, I found this story entertaining and a creative example of what society becomes when each member of that society focuses on individual needs instead of the good of the whole.\u003Cbr>","none","rv-01kx23vcr4h0x64ev1fk7kxfwm",[],"2026-07-09T00:18:42.000000Z"]
