I love the way you described the characters, and I can't wait to read about them.<br /><br />By the Book has already been on my tbr, and you've just made me 10 times more excited for it. The MC's family sounds so incredible, and I love that you described the novel as delightful. Now I'm sad I have to wait a month more for it, haha. <br /><br />Wonderful reviews, Sam!Veronika @ Wordy and Whimsicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06813427718618609226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-12223251034564861802020-04-14T05:27:24.471-04:002020-04-14T05:27:24.471-04:00By the Book lifted my spirits.

There were a few tears, but probably more about the plane crash. Acevedo was inspired by a plane that went down in NY, and I remember that crash. It happened in my friend's neighborhood. It was crazy. I would love to see what you thought of By the Book. It's super fluffy, not your normal speed.
