We are bound, chained, tied…to our trauma and to each other… My Review First Impressions A plan that will alter the course of their relationship, blur the line between hate and love, and shackle them together with far more than just chains. The two people who always thought they’d end up killing each other must now work together if they want to survive.īut Cora and Dean have no idea their abductor has a plan for them. ![]() To make matters worse, Dean shares the space in his own set of chains.Īfter fifteen years of teasing, insults, and practical jokes, the ultimate joke seems to be on them. ![]() She doesn’t anticipate a stolen wallet, leaving her stranded and dependent on Dean-her arch nemesis and ultimate thorn in her side.Īnd she really doesn’t anticipate waking up in shackles in a madman’s basement. When Cora attends her sister’s birthday party, she expects at most a hangover or a walk of shame. This book contains subject matter that may be sensitive for some readers, including rape, as well as strong language and explicit sex. ![]() ![]() "But I think everything is coming from somewhere. "It’s not my life, it’s not me, the characters aren’t the people I know,” she says. Maybe that's why her books are so well loved: she grew up on the same pop culture diet as her readers. ![]() Rather than take inspiration from her own experiences, for her plots and characters, Henry mines conversations she's had, people she's met, places she's been and the TV and movies she's watched. ![]() She doesn't mean that in a biographical sense. “I think that everything about me bleeds into my books a little bit,” Henry tells. The 32-year-old author has sold more than 2.5 million print copies of her books to date, according to a report Circana Bookscan provided to. Henry, who has been proclaimed to have "cracked the modern romance novel," has Gen Z and millennials entranced with her beachy vacation novels. Henry's readers are unflinchingly devoted to their love for the literary queen, whose rom-com-adjacent books strike a deep chord amongst young people looking for tales of love. ![]() When I tell anyone I'm interviewing Emily Henry, their jaws drop -well, any woman approximately between the ages of 20 and 35, at least. ![]() ![]() ![]() The whole experience of knowing Nana Upstairs is made a blessing to us just as it was for young Tomie, and I am amazed by how perfectly he is able to make it all come so vividly alive.Īs the hands of time erode the older hierarchy of Tommy's family-including his two Nanas-the story becomes very poignantly emotional, defying the spare number of words to gracefully weave itself around the reader's heart. ![]() The anecdote about Nana Upstairs having to be tied to a chair to keep from falling out and Tommy asking Nana Downstairs to tie him in a chair, too, is one of the best things that I have ever read. This book steps so delicately upon the walkway of Tomie's youth that its construction is equal to that of the magnificent spiderweb spun by nature's surest architect. ![]() I feel as if I know Tom, and Nana Upstairs and Nana Downstairs, and all the rest of Tomie's wonderful family as well as if they were my kin, too, and that is truly a special feeling that is hard to fully put into words. Speaking for myself in all sincerity, his picture-book family histories have welcomed me into the life he has led as warmly as if I were a part of the family. ![]() There is nothing in literature like the books that Tomie dePaola has written about his family when he was growing up. ![]() ![]() The beginning of the story is slow paced and wilderness enthusiasts will enjoy the descriptive details and gear talk, but once Wynn and Jack smell smoke, the story increases its pace and has enough suspense to move the plot along. Writing: Two types of readers will really appreciate The River: those who love all things wilderness, canoeing, and fishing and those who love character studies. Often stories are heavily weighted toward one or the other, and I really appreciate the balance here. It’s a wonderful example of a character-driven and plot-driven story. ![]() The River is a unique blend of beautiful descriptive writing, character study, and suspense. ![]() ![]() Instead of days filled with fishing and reading and nights of stargazing, they attempt a rescue as they face starvation, a forest fire, and a dangerous stranger. Wynn and Jack are college friends who enjoy the mountains, reading, and fishing, but they get more than they bargained for in this wilderness canoe trip. The River is a story of wilderness survival and friendship with a generous side of suspense/thriller.
