This book was so sad in a toxic way… does that even make sense??

It’s Boston in 2013, and Circus Palmer is living a bachelor’s dream. He’s a trumpet and an old-school ladies man. When Maggie, the woman he cares for the most, reveals she’s pregnant he flees and sets off to bang every woman he comes across

This books deserves so much more recognition! It’s such a look into “the island live” of local Hawaiian women. The culture, the heritage, the language is all written beautifully. For anyone looking to understand and delve deep into Hawaiian culture this is a great collection of short stories!

'The Crane Wife' is a book I typically go for when I want to read a memoir and reading it reminded me of why I love memoirs. These series of essays reflects CJ Hauser's life as she remembers it. She dissects every relationship from the idea of being a "Crane Wife' and shedding her feathers for love. It was sad at some parts, it was funny and light in others.

The only downside to this book comes to me because while I was reading this novel I was doing a study abroad program in Peru. I couldn't help but think that CJ Hauser was "complaining" about all her failed relationships. I think if I was in a different state of mind I would have enjoyed this book a lot more.

loved it

Nora Roberts books are all the same beginning middle and end but I love them all anyway. They’re so good!
