While it's quite simplistic and very condensed, this is a lovely overview of Leonard's life with some interesting facts, thoughtful insights, and funny moments. I wouldn't recommend this to everyone, but if you're a big Leonard Cohen fan like I am, it's worth the read for sure

I really enjoyed this one! Not a ton happened but I was into the drama

Good start to the series. It was a bit slow to start but then got fast paced and interesting 

A beautiful and unexpected story about two sisters and the different ways they reacted to their childhood and grew into adulthood. This is a quick but very emotional read. Beware if you are sensitive to the subject of suicide, but if you're okay with it, it's very worth the read.

I buddy read this book with one of my favorite people and I'm so glad that they put it on my radar because I'm not sure I would have read it otherwise and I really liked it... 

The Ministry If Time has a really imaginative and interesting premise that I think works super well, "refugees" from the past learning how to acclimatize to the present and it's done in a very interesting way. This is very soft. Sci-fi definitely accessible to people who think they don't like sci-fi. 

It had some interesting things to say about identity, culture, and morality, but the plot is what really interested me and kept me reading on the edge of my seat. The romance was sweet as well, I love a little romance with my sci-fi and don't see it that often for some reason. 

This is my favourite kind of book, it's hard to really say anything critical about a book like this but it's also difficult to really review it at all.

It was confusing in the best way and incredibly touching. The kind of book that stays with you. Definitely a strong contender for my favourite read of 2024.

I'm a big fan of retellings and Wuthering Heights is one of my favourite books, but I was still a bit skeptical about a modern retelling centered around figure skaters... The Favorites was actually really good though! Kat and Heath are childhood friends who grew up together (the backstory is pretty similar to the original story) and Kat dreams about being an Olympic ice dancer while Heath dreams about doing anything that will make Kat happy. The book follows a few decades of their life, centering on the highs of their athletic careers and the relationships they have with other skaters as well. There is documentary style bits between chapters in a similar style to the movie I Tonya, which I honestly could've done without but it wasn't awful and it did allow for some interesting foreshadowing. 

If you're a fan of Wuthering Heights or figure skating or dramatic on again off again toxic relationships, this book is for you!!

Thank you to the publisher for the advanced copy.

Idk it bugged me when they just told their whole secret to that kid
