The early hype, the flashy game, the catchy ad campaign, the bumpy road to the top, the eventual, joyful breakthrough: Like Michael, Andre experienced them all.

There is no neat solution to the problems Kendra and Grayson face, but the journey is well worth it. She works at a local hangout called The Bread. Brown (Bitter End) skillfully navigates the emotional complexities and psychological minefields of her characters and their relationship, treating OCD with delicacy without losing sight of the big picture. Bitter End is about a girl named Alex who has spent her life with one parent, two sisters, and two bestfriends. Instead, they find an endless series of seedy motels, pick up a hitchhiker who has her own problems, and have some cathartic heart-to-hearts. When a cheating scandal threatens to destroy Kendra’s academic standing, she snaps, dragging Grayson on a cross-country trip from Missouri to California in an ill-defined attempt to “fix” both their lives. She is the author of Hate List, Torn Away, Thousand Words, Perfect Escape, and Bitter End. ![]() ![]() She has lived her life around keeping Grayson under control and out of trouble, even as his condition drives away her best friend, Zoe.

The bond between a brother and sister is stretched to the breaking point in this well-crafted road-trip drama born out of intense family pressures and questionable decisions. ![]() 5/27/2023 0 Comments Nyxia amazon![]() I’m a huge fan of blue, so it’s cool to see so many blue covers coming out lately.

It's Hogswatch (equivalent to Christmas) on the Discworld and the Hogfather has gone missing, requiring Death to take his place while his granddaughter Susan endeavors to find out what has happened.
