"We're a lot of scandalous women masquerading as house cats in our family."
What character/book have you recently read that's really stuck with you?
Trying to describe how much I loved Don't Forget to Write is nearly impossible. It's going to be on my top reads of 2023. It was an absolute delight to read and contained everything I look for in a book - strong female characters with a lot of sass and love to give.
I laughed out loud more times than I can count because the banter between Ada and Marilyn was genuinely perfect. Ada is someone that I not only love but would love to learn more from - I wasn't ready for the story to end because I felt like I still needed more time with her character. She has the wisdom of someone who has experienced some of life's cruelest moments and still remembers to keep moving forward.
π Jewish representation
πͺπΌ Strong female characters
πWitty banter
π₯Ή That ending
Be prepared to laugh (a lot), make a note of Ada's wisdom, and maybe (most definitely) shed a tear or two. Don't Forget to Write will be something I'll be recommending for a long time, and will go back to visit again.
