This was an outstanding book and I don’t want to give too much away so I apologize for the brevity of my review. Just know that I emphatically recommend Liz Moore’s The Unseen World! Ada Sibelius is being raised by her single father, David, in late 1970s Boston. Like her father Ada is very intelligent, prodigal even. She is home schooled by her father at his research lab in everything from computer science to literature and while she has no friends her own age she is […]
Family drama meets science fiction
4.5 stars. This book was reviewed by both narfna and Fiat.Luxury who both raved about it. I can see why after reading it! It will absolutely be going on my list of Swiss Army recommendations list. I think most readers would like it, if not love it. Genre: Family drama with a little science fiction and mystery thrown in Read this if you loved: Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng or All the Birds in the Sky by Charlie Jane Anders In a […]
“Hello,” it said.
I’ve been sitting on my review of this one for a little while, not quite sure about what I want to say or how I want to say it.

I hesitate to give away too much of the plot because it was a joy to go in knowing nothing. So how about just a tiny summary? Ada adores her father David, a single father who directs a computer science lab in 1980s-era Boston. […]
Guys, read this book. I mean it.
So I read this book in almost exactly 24 hours. My book club picked The Unseen World, at my suggestion, and so of course I waited until the last minute to start it. Don’t know why I did that. It was so good. And I never would have picked it up without book club (even though I suggested it), so thank goodness for book clubs. Anyways, I started it yesterday at 10 AM, got through a little over half by bedtime, then woke up early […]
