Rick Osborne reviewed One Simple Refrain by Nancy Ann Healy
Perfect. No notes.
5 stars
CW: on-page slow decline of a parent due to dementia and other health issues. Xe Sands’ emotional narration makes this brutal.

Rick Osborne reviewed The Summer of our Discontent by Robin Alexander
So much sniping
3 stars
3¼⭐️/5
A little tough to read, as the first two-thirds are just people being mean to each other. The broader story about overcoming childhood rivalries is well done, but the antagonism just drags on and on.

Sweet
Rick Osborne reviewed Chasing Dreams by A.L. Brooks
Good vibes, but hesitant
5 stars
4¼⭐️/5
My only complaint here is just my usual personal dislike of “oh, but I would only complicate their life, but I could never actually say that out loud” self-confidence and miscommunication issues. Beyond that, this was nice, and well-rounded-out. I did appreciate the casual inclusion of one of the MCs being part of an open relationship, and it being portrayed positively and supportively.
