Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

I enjoyed this book greatly. It was beautifully written and it was extremely suspenseful. The character Brady really expresses his emotions throughout the story. His relationship with the characters he interacts with are complex. He wants to keep his parents happy but at the same time wants to get the guilty conscience off of his chest. When he received the picture of Amanda for his wallet, and he was saying how he never saw a picture of her, I actually cried. I almost cried when he put back the Lego Aquanauts that he had set out for Ben when Ben got home from the hospital. I loved the book, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a little heart-ripping,suspenseful book. the only thing I did not like was how it ended. It didn't give you much detail about what happened to the characters, "Digger" and "JT" (thats why I rated it a four-star). Read On, CriticalBookReader

I personally, did not like the book at all. I found that it was confusingly written and hard to understand. The plot line made no sense to me at all. And the sex section, was just out of the blue and I would say at the wrong time. From what the book hands to you (Jimmy asked Rose out and she replied "I don't know", and how she patted, and stroked, his thigh and he acted as though she didn't exist), that the two characters should be at the most, friends. Them out of the blue having sex was just completely uncalled for. I'm sorry, but i disliked the book.Though, I am researching her books and, I may have mistyped it,but they all are children's books. So I am not very interested. Read On, CriticalBookReader
