Yikes! Can't believe I haven't written a review or answered any questions yet. Sorry ladies! I read Room quite a while back, when we first chose it, and have read a couple other books since, so it's not really at the forefront of my mind. I have to say (don't worry, no spoilers), I just finished Sarah's Key and I LOVED it. Such a moving book, and a real page-turner.

 

Now for Room! I really liked this book, I couldn't put it down. I was dying to know how it would end, and I think overall I'm happy with the way it ended. I liked that there was some closure by visiting Room after the escape. But I was a bit disappointed that we didn't have more information about Old Nick, or his side of the story. Maybe it didn't matter as a whole, but I was curious. I really enjoyed reading about Jack's experiences after the escape, because he had to deal with things I never would have thought of, because we just take them for granted. Like the fact that he kept running into things, because his depth perception was off due to living in a small room his whole life. Who would have thought?? I was disappointed that Ma had that meltdown and tried to kill herself. I mean of course the aftermath is hard to deal with, but to try and kill yourself when you have Jack? I felt so awful for him. Maybe, though, that is what gave Jack some courage and independence? The fact that she wasn't with him 24/7 to guide him through 'real life'. One other thing I wanted to mention - I think if I were in that situation I would have kept Jack. I mean, he was her baby, part of her you know? And of course you would want a companion. I think it would be incredibly hard to be selfless in that kind of situation. And who knows what Old Nick would have done with the baby if she hadn't wanted to keep it. But then I wonder...what would have happened if they couldn't escape? I mean, how long could you keep pretending? And how long could you live in a small room with a growing boy? Hmmm

 

Cali - I like the idea of choosing just a couple questions and having people discuss them specifically! :)

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
