A book that follows an elderly woman who is suffering from a terminal illness. However, she just wants her last days to be filled with young people and their joy. It sounds pretty interesting.

A well-written story about friendship and secrets that has an "excellent editing, dialogues, and character development." It sounds a must-read for fans of the genre. I am glad you enjoyed it, but I am not sure it is for me. Thank you for the detailed review!

It interests me to know how females can co-exist without a fight or quarrel. This is an awesome novel to read. I will definitely give it a try. Thank for the splendid review.

Excuse my ignorance, but I hadn't heard of the Bechdel test before and had to google it. Now I know and I'm glad I do - many thanks for that!

Same here. I didn't know watch a Bechdel text was either.

A very interesting review nonetheless. This is not my preferred genre so I'll pass on this one.

This sounds like a sweet story. It reminded me of my late grandmother. Towards the end of her life, there was a bit of a rowdy bunch living next door to her. My aunt (RIP) would call the cops on them, but my grandmother didn't seem to mind them. I think she kind of liked their energy.

"Backcomb & Tattoo" by Shea R Embry sounds uplifting and full of hope. Friendship and secrets. There is hope yet ...
