The gist: Montana girl meets underworldly (yes) boy mayhem, mystery, and romance ensue. I bought The Edge of Everything because of its fabulous cover, but didn’t know much about what I was getting into until I started reading.

The Edge of Everything by Jeff Giles – This is a cool book - it calls back to those 2007-2009 paranormal romances we all loved so much, but it definitely has its own unique spin. Recommended for anyone with an interest in American history, and fans of sweeping historical fiction. The Invention of Wings is a difficult read, as it holds little back in the way of depicting the severe realities of slavery, but it is also a beautiful story about love and sacrifice and standing up for what’s right. Both Sarah and Handful are strong women with agency, and their evolving relationship is fascinating. I was worried that this tale would center on Sarah helping Handful to freedom, but it doesn’t. It’s based on the life of historical figures Sarah and Angelina Grimke, early abolitionists and feminists, but also tells the (almost entirely fictionalized) story Hetty “Handful” Grimke, a slave who comes of age in the Grimke household. The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd – This one is the June pick for my book club (I’m actually ahead for once!) and it really impressed me. May has been a super varied month of reading,Īnd I’ve got lots of good stuff to recommend…
