My husband and I just spent the last 6 hours blowing up 1,200 balloons for our Easter Egg Hunt this weekend! I even got (well, forced) him to listen to my #currentread #audiobook and he actually enjoyed it! I may turn him into a #litlover after all!

Sherry's trying to divorce her abusive hubby and get custody of their kid, meanwhile the husband's dad sets in to trip her up any way possible. If you're looking for a good, clean read w/bite this convoluted mystery may be just for you. It's original publication was nearly 50 years ago, so there are times the writing seems ever so slightly dated. Mostly, however, it's going to keep you glued to the page until the whole ridiculous mess is sorted.

Settling in to start this creepy sounding beauty. Never heard of it before, but apparently this title was first published in the late 60s/early 70s. Seeing as mine is an ARC and the book's not due to publish til next month, I'm thinking it must be the first time it has been released in e-copy. 📖🍷🎈

Alfoster Yes, read this ARC too! Interesting but wait for the title to be clear only at the end! 8y
monkeygirlsmama @Alfoster So, um, yeah that didn't go the way I expected at all. I thought the title was going to become clear in a totally different way. It worked out though! 8y
Alfoster Yeah, but makes more sense when you consider pub date, right? Would be a different story today! 8y
