![]() ![]() ![]() YOU GO POPPY – DON’T LET THEM KEEP YOU FROM LEARNING EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW! I just love her inquisitive mind. So naturally since she has to push boundaries anyway, she may as well just break through them altogether. I love how curious and intelligent Poppy is, and I feel like her impulsive nature is born at least in part from constantly chafing against the restrictions on being a woman in a time where women are expected to fit in pretty little boxes and be quietly decorative, when she’s filled with this burning need to know and ask questions and explore. ![]() It very much reminded me of the rapid-fire banter that happens between Lorelei and Rory Gilmore in the TV shore Gilmore Girls, so if that type of back-and-forth annoys the heck out of you then consider yourself warned, because that’s the dynamic Poppy and Andrew have going on in SPADES. Yes, I wanted to throttle both Andrew and Poppy several times, but I also loved the tension between them, and their wordplay and banter was amazing. If it were possible to give a book more than 5 stars, I’d be doing it right now!! I really enjoyed this latest installment in the Rokesbys series. ![]()
