This book just felt like it was wandering to me. I finished it but it was pretty predictable. The story could have been great but it loses itself along the way.

Mehso-so

The twists in this one were good, but it just had way too too much fluff and extra detail in it for me. 😙

Unknown author. Unknown book. But I bought it anyway. Why? Because one of the characters is described on the back cover as “a bougie earth mother.” What? For some reason I found that descriptive phrase very amusing so I‘m seeking additional information...how does an Earth Mother become bougie?🤷🏽‍♀️

Lindy Maybe someone like Gwyneth Paltrow? 5y
Nute @Lindy I love Gwyneth Paltrow, but she seems to have always been above Earth Mother status. IMO - she‘s more like a Moon Goddess!😃 (edited) 5y

I‘m not sure how I feel about this book so far.. 😒😕 Having a bath with this wonderfully smelling bath soak from @MeganAnn and digging a little farther in.

Pickpick

My 2nd book by Shemilt, a domestic thriller about 3 different families whose dysfunctions grow when the children become friends & their parents follow. I found most of the 6 parents unlikable & there was no big reveals as I guessed what would happen, but the twists, turns & the building tension kept me turning the pages & made this an overall pick for me. Paired with Greek Salad with Roasted Shrimp for my book tour review. Review/recipe link👇🏻

Soubhiville Oh my gosh, that looks so good! 5y

Today‘s finished soup for lunch & my #soupersundays blog post is Jamie Oliver‘s Speedy Spiced Shrimp Soup. You can‘t beat 5 ingredients & 20 minutes for a tasty bowl of curried shrimp & rice goodness. With one of my current reads for a book tour review later this week. I am only a couple of chapters in but I liked “The Daughter” her previous book. This is a domestic drama /psychological thriller.
