Review: The Plans We Made

The Plans We Made The Plans We Made by Kathryn Cushman
My rating: 💛💛💛💛

This was really a deep contemporary fiction. I found myself going through the ups and downs with Linda and Caroline and trying not to shout at Caroline to make a specific decision.

I loved the lesson Linda learned. How many of us is not honest and only share some of what we feel? If we do not take the risk to be vulnerable and honest with others, how can we expect true help from our friends and community.

A contemporary fiction highly recommended to fans of this genre.

The narrator also did a great job with the characters and their stories.
