What readers say
i’m so thankful to have gotten an ARC copy of Next Time Will be Our Turn through NetGalley. This is the kind of book that pulls you in from the beginning with colorful writing and a wish to know more. I loved how frank Izzy was from the beginning, her defiance sounding much like my own inner teen. As we get further in we are now taken into the past of Izzy’s grandmother, beautifully telling the story of how she met and the love of her life to her granddaughter. The coolest part? Izzy and Magnolia reside in the future, meaning Magnolia’s stories begin in 1998 and end around 2011. SPOILERS AHEAD I’m not sure I have ever highlighted this many lines in a book before. I found so much to relate to and also to learn from. I both loved, hated annd related to iris as a big sister. My heart was broken, stitched back together, and broke into pieces once more by the end. I love how real and raw the ending was no matter how much i yearned for a happy bellery and tulip ending. it was kind of nice to have a healthy dose of reality, a friendly reminder to “grab the bull by the horns and shake it until it gives you what you want”.
