I was hoping this would be comparable to North Woods, but honestly I might have enjoyed this more. Lighthearted and tightly focused on the trials of one family relocating to a new part of the country. Just a nice slice of life.

I went back and forth on this, but by the end I decided I did really enjoy it. Not exactly what I expected but a good story and excellent writing.

A decent immortal-sick-of-living story. But be warned, her trial and error at trying to fix it involves a lot of literally checking to see if she can die. So be warned about that.

I always want to like JCO books more than I do, so I thought maybe short stories would be a better access point. Honestly? Not really. She just may not be an author for me.

“Riley said. “Two women being in love, isn’t that an abomination?”
“True love in any form is always encouraged,” Priest said.

“She sat up straighter, grabbed at the collar of her robe, and looked up into the mirrored sunglasses of a police officer. Punch him in the dick, the devil on her shoulder said. Go to prison. You and Ari can roleplay as Piper and Alex, it’ll be hot.”
