Very charming and wholesome! I enjoyed the amount of growth our MC went through and the other characters all had unique and fun personalities

A good array of short stories, though this isn't my preferred kind of reading there were definitely some great shorts and some okay ones.

I liked that this one had more emotional punch to it! And the storyline felt stronger and slower than the first one.

A cute concept, but I felt like all the big events happened super fast and all within the last 15% of the book

I've read a number of memoirs this past year. Memoirs and reflection pieces on depression, bi-polar disorder, domestic abuse, and being Asian in America. But What My Bones Know has hit the hardest. Even though I say that about every Asian authored memoir, this one feels more so. After my own diagnosis with cptsd a few months ago, I never really looked too much in to it, but Stephanie's story made me realize that there's still so much work to do and more to learn. Great book, read in one sitting, would read again.

A fun little beach read that I didn't read at the beach. Fun concept, okay book. Didn't get much from it at the end, and the MC was a little annoying, but I do love a good groundhog day-esque book
