White Fur by Jardine Libaire - Book Review

-

As part of my summer reading experience, I have decided to branch out of my normal routine of reading only crime books and thriller/horror genres. While this was not as intense and thrilling as those subjects might be, I was definitely pleased with the artistic story-telling of Jardine Libaire's White Fur. This is an exciting story, in a different way. Not for younger readers. Mature audiences only.



With a story that will bring to mind the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, this book tells of star-crossed lovers, Elise Perez and Jamey Hyde. It is a story that resonates with most people because of the simplicity and realistic-ness of their situation. Though so close in distance, their lives could not be further from each other's.

This novel, follows them from their instant attraction, through their relationship, as sexuality is high and emotions run deep. No matter, there is always something at bay, trying to force them apart and keep them from each other.

Can they beat it and make it through it all, or will they let their past and everything that happens, separate them?

You will have to read to find out.

Jardine Libraire should be credited for her writing as she has written this novel very well. The characters are realistic and easy to relate too. The setting, being 1980's Manhattan, is a vivid locale and seems true to it's time.  She created an environment that feels real. This is definitely a book you can loose yourself in. You will be reading non-stop, hoping these two can rise above and have the fairy tale ending we all wish for.

Jardine Libaire is a graduate of Skidmore College and University of Michigan's MFA Program. White Fur is her second novel and she lives in Austin, Texas.








I did receive this book for free, for the purpose of my review, but the opinions here are my own.

Freebie FAQs: How to Get Stuff For Free!

(Updated January 2025) Hey there, I am going to tell you how I get Freebies, but first I have to be honest... While the products and stuff I get may be free when thinking monetarily, it's not always just free, per se.  I do work hard for my free stuff. If you want to be a full time freebie finder or product reviewer, social media influencer, prepare to work hard and be on your phone or computer, a lot.  Plus the time it takes to really look at and try and prepare to review the products you received.  Each site will take time to participate in. You don’t want to overwhelm yourself when you first start. Some sites take more involvement than others, especially survey sites. I am a part of many of survey sites along with my many freebie/review/product sampling sites and communities, but I started with a few and then joined more over the years. I started survey sites and product review programs in 2011. I've been doing this for years now and put a lot of effort and time into i...

Rad Women Worldwide! Review

-

I think, for being a girl, the biggest motivation and inspiration comes from reading about other women who changed the world and make a major impact in how we live and how things are done today. It seems we often hear about the men who have made history, but what about us girls?!?  I recently read the book, Rad Women Worldwide , by Kate Schatz, illustrated by Miriam Klein Stahl, and was inspired by all the stories about women in sports, medicine, science, along with the pirates, punks and revolutionaries.  There are some remarkable women out there who have done equally amazing things and this book is full of them. From the look and design of the book, to the stories inside, it is a very visually attractive with a modern focus on women.  I really love the bright colors and fun presentation of this book. It is like a fun trip in history. Each story is well researched and engaging and inspiring. The content of it covers from 430 B.C. to the year 2016 in 31 cou...

Went to Safeway today and got us some Johnsonville Grillers ! The clerk who checked us out was totally jealous! ;-) I chose the Cheddar Bacon because it just looked and sounded delicious! Oh, and it was! They were so easy to cook. Literally just pull them out of the box, remove the paper separating them and grill em! I stood there and watched them cook, and was overjoyed by the smell wafting up to me! Thank goodness it didn't take long to cook, I swear I could have drooled buckets. I felt like Homer when it comes to donuts! Haha! I loved the smell, as much as the juicy, flavorful taste. It was like a hamburger but so much better. Each bite was full of cheese and a little bacon, and delicious, quality pork sausage. I was actually a little suprised at how much I liked them. My in laws also loved them, and agreed about the juicy taste, and the box went fast. Really fast. Now I just can't wait to try the rest of them! I know what I'm getting on my next shopping trip! I’m a...
