Death by Darjeeling by Laura Childs
"The confession I am about to make may drive some people crazy, but here goes…I did not read this series in order. I randomly came across these books at Little Free Libraries, used book stores, and Goodwill, and I read them as I bought them. This explains how I am just now reading book one. If I had read these books in order I don’t think I would have read as much in the series as I have.

This book did not give me the Charleston vibes that her later books give, and there was way too much descriptive filler. And I did not like the nosey Theo in this book, and she really didn’t have a reason to be investigating. And the mystery was not well thought out. I was skimming the last 75 pages just to be done already. And the funny thing is that this book has been sitting on my TBR shelf for two years!

I have one more book in this series on my shelf that I will read soon, but I don’t think I am going to go collecting anymore books in the series. I may sell off some of the ones that I didn’t like, too. "

"4.5 ⭐️

Just about the most adorable friends to lovers story I have read. So freakin� cute!

Added bonus that characters from the series crossover into this story. "

bookshelves: books-i-own
This was an enjoyable middle school book (which is harder to find than you might imagine) full of adventures and filled with friendships forged through fires.

**I would like to point out there was no need for the out-of-place farting comment or the part where booger eating took place. It felt completely random and unnecessary and did not belong in such a wonderful story. ]]>

I completely enjoyed this book. It's such a good story. I loved the setting and the birds and the back stories of the characters. And I love that you have to trust the journey of where the story is headed without being completely sure where parts of it are coming from. Trust the process of just leaning in to hear the storyteller weave her tale.
