👻🔍 A spooky and heartfelt middle grade mystery. The Last Resort blends ghosts, a murder to solve, and real themes of grief and belonging. Creepy enough to hook readers, thoughtful enough to linger. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Full review HERE

#TLSky #Booksky #Kidlit #YALit
A Bookmarked Review graphic for the middle grade novel “The Last Resort.” The background is dark blue. The book cover shows a glowing Victorian house at night with a girl standing in the foreground, facing the house. Four yellow stars and one gray star appear below the cover, indicating a 4 out of 5 rating. Text highlights describe the book as a spooky, fast paced mystery that blends ghosts and grief, a middle grade ghost story with substance, and a creepy summer mystery. A quote reads, “Sometimes being ‘too dramatic’ is exactly what helps you see the truth.”

Meg‘s still “struggling” with the Balcony Scene—as well all the other scenes in the Christmas play😭

so OF COURSE, Oli suggests they rehearse when they’re at their local shopping centre/mall😅

#WIPsnips: ‘line’
#writesky #writingcommunity #romancebooks #booksky #YA #YAlit
"Opening night is a month away and you haven't memorised your dialogue yet." Meg does amazing in exams; it doesn't make sense that she can't remember Jasmine's lines. "Of course," she mutters darkly, "we can't have anything jeopardising your Big Break-" "Meg, I just want to help." I lean forward. "You're doing well with the script in your hand, but you can't have it on the night." With a heavy sigh, she says, "Fine." "Shall we do the part where Jazz declares her love in the 'Balcony Scene'?" I lift an eyebrow cheekily but I really wanna hear her say those words to me again. "Ooh, my favourite," she says sarcastically. JASMINE You'd do that for me? ROLAND A million times, Jasmine. JASMINE day. I love you. I love you more and more every. Moodboard for the Shopping Centre scene in We’ll Never Forget, with 7 images. A takeaway cup of boba tea, a young girl in a bookstore, a young man sitting on a rail, a coloured drawing of a girl drinking bubble tea, a panoramic photo of a shopping centre, a couple drinking coffee at a table, and a table laid with pizza.

I want to say A - legacy, but pragmatically that's meaningless to me. In 100 years, I certainly won't be around and without any kids, not going to mean anything to anyone living.

Pains me to say, but B's the choice

Graeme: I don’t forget. I just think birthdays are funny, one full lap around the sun and suddenly we’re sentimental. But honestly? We should be finding more excuses to celebrate each other, not fewer.

Ena trusts easily but wounds run deep. I wouldn’t rush her growth, yet if she needed one gift, it would be learning to forgive without losing herself.
