HOLLOW BONES by Jodi Picoult is amazing. A woman didn’t return home on Sept. 11, 2001. I gasped out loud when plot twist revealed. Ballantine Books, Sept. 22, on both NetGalley and Edelweiss. #ewgc

Hey GalleyChatters, if you're trying to follow #ewgc - apparently, the Bluesky search is not working and is a few hours behind. If you follow me, please RT this so we get the word out.
