Last Car Over the Sagamore BridgePeter Orner zeroes in on the strange ways our memories define us: A woman's husband dies before their divorce is finalized; a man runs for governor of Illinois and loses much more than an election; two brothers play beneath the infamous bridge at Chappaquiddick.

Peter Orner zeroes in on the strange ways our memories define us: A woman's husband dies before their divorce is finalized; a man runs for governor of Illinois and loses much more than an election; two brothers play beneath the infamous bridge at Chappaquiddick. Employing the masterful compression for which he has been widely praised, Orner presents a kaleidoscope of individual lives viewed in startling, intimate close-up. Whether writing of Geraldo Rivera's attempt to reveal the contents of Al Capone's vault or of a father and daughter trying to outrun a hurricane, Orner illuminates universal themes. In stories that span considerable geographic ground -- from Chicago to Wyoming, from Massachusetts to the Czech Republic -- he writes of the past we can't seem to shake, the losses we can't make up for, and the power of our stories to help us reclaim what we thought was gone forever. "A ravishing collection, full of wisdom, grief, beauty, and especially surprise." -- Anthony Doerr, author of The Shell CollectorsBinding Type: Paperback

Eh. It was ok. Good for a laugh not for realistic expectations
Format: Hardcover
The book was alright. I appreciated the jokes and style of writing, like a GenZ approach. She’s obviously very funny! However it’s written by a celebrity with massive amounts of money. While she acknowledges her privilege, it felt like a filler line. She goes on and on about out of touch items she had during her pregnancy which really rubbed me the wrong way. I appreciated her chapter on infertility and fertility treatments. Overall I guess I’m glad I bought it and read it. It made me feel a little less lonely. But not something I’d recommend to a friend.

A fun read for new moms!
Format: Kindle
I got it as soon as I read “I’m I pregnant or is it just a fart” during my TWW, can’t wait for a part 2.

Finally a Place to Store All those Soap Pieces! Self-Lathering, Exfoliating, Good Quality, Love it!
Style: Sport
These soap saver pouches are a really nice upgrade to using regular bar soap and a loofah or washcloth. I love that I can just drop in a full bar, along with all those tiny leftover pieces, and still get great use out of them, while also getting a nice scrub that has a good exfoliating texture without feeling too harsh. It's a medium-like "grit" so just be aware, and both sides feel equally scrubby, and the inner pad material helps the soap foam up easily when you rub it together, making it feel efficient. The three-pack with different colors is convenient for multiple bathrooms or spares, and the little inner loop lets you cinch the opening so smaller soap bits don’t fall out. It does need to be hung to dry since it holds onto moisture, and your soap may go a bit faster because of that constant self-lathering as you use it, but it’s not too bad, and a fair trade-off for how easy and effective it is. All in all, these are well-designed and genuinely useful. Definitely recommended!

Exfoliating, durable, helps bars of soap last much longer.
Style: Sport
Am very happy with the convenience and longevity of this product. In addition the exfoliating properties they really do help make my bars of (sometimes quit expensive) soap in the shower last a lot longer - as much as 3 to 5 times as long. I simply hang it up or place on a shower caddy after rinsing the excess suds off and no more soft, soggy bars of leftover soap laying around. Having tried many different versions of these and I find this style is the easiest to get to properly hold onto any odd shaped or larger bars of soap without the soap accidentally popping out in the shower during use. They also seem to outlast many of the other soap savers. They don’t unexpectedly start unraveling after just a few uses like some of the bath poufs tend to do.

Really good, however, a drawstring to keep the soap inside would be amazing
Style: Sport
I bought these sport soap saver bags and I really enjoy them. I exfoliate with loofah all the time so I did not find the grit of this soap saver bag too abrasive. I found it perfect. I washed and lathered all my parts no problem.
I had a half gone bar of soap I put inside upon receiving these bags, and the lather was amazing. The soap did move around the smallest little bit because it was smaller. I assume with a brand new bar soap It’s much easier to use. But that happens with all of these same design products. A drawstring at the end of the soap saver bag would make this five stars all day.
I would definitely buy these again based on the quality and exfoliation level.
