Welcome to Litsy!

This was just okay for me. It was an engaging beach read but not one of my favorites for this year!

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

A soft pick for me, and a pick only because the last third of the book finally made me go “ohhh, okay girl I‘m with you now!”

I‘m not a big fan of tropes that rely so fully on shallow characters and/or on toxic females and friendships, but I did enjoy the setting (that yacht life seems doable, yes please!) Once the story got underway at last, I at least wanted to know how it all wrapped up and kept me reading. Not great, but not bad!

This sultry beach read is next on my list. It's just starting to get warm here so it's perfect timing. Will update when I know if it's as enticing as the cover implies!

"?????????? ?????? ??????? ?? ?????. ? ??????'? ????? ?? ?????? ????????, ??? ?????? ???????? ?? ? ??????? ???????."

The yacht trip from hell but yes I would go if invited! Belle‘s “friend” asks her to go on her old boyfriends yacht for her birthday..no one needs a friend like Summer. Good tension and activity throughout this read. Another great summer read.

Lately I feel like I‘ve been let down by highly anticipated books, and surprised by books that weren‘t really on my radar, but filler between the anticipated ones. This one was a surprise! The cover looks like a quick light hearted beach read…but it‘s actually a great mystery with a few little twists at the end! I really enjoyed this one ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is St. John‘s debut & I really enjoyed it! I‘d previously read The Siren & loved it. This is perfect escapism! For some reason I‘ve always enjoyed reading about the Uber rich lol. Belle was a real character you could root for. This book takes the term frenemy to a whole new level. If you‘re looking for something fun with some darker undertones then this is for you! I‘m eager for the author‘s next book!

This was a very entertaining mystery thriller with a dash of romance. Therefore I consider it #BookClubWorthy #Fall #Booked2020 @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft

A BravoTV lovers dream..... Imagine if Vanderpump Rules, Below Deck and The Real Housewives had a baby, that turned bizarrely murderous..... Honestly this was bat-sh*t-ridiculous in the most brain-candy and trashily fun way...

Thank you lovely Cindy for putting this silliness on my radar. Just what I needed today! 😘

This was fun! The quintessential beach read. Nothing crazy, but a really good, entertaining fluff of a read, and perfect for the end of summer 🌤 (also the title is perfect, this takes frienemies to a whole other level).

Heading out to claim my favorite spot by the pool and realized that my book and I are twinning today 👯

Starting a new book and it already feels like the perfect "boujie vacation at a resort I normally couldn't afford" read ??

There were elements to this book that drove me crazy, but can‘t pan a book that sucks me in like this. If anything, I would have liked more steam with my trashy read.

Book 2 done for #NetGalleyReviewathon!

Amazing! I didn't get much sleep last night because I just had to finish this book. There is so much drama and backstabbing in this book and I was totally invested because I was waiting for Summer and her boyfriend to get their comeuppance. I especially liked the ending. So sweet! ❤️

Yay!!! 😄

Wow. What a crazy ride! This book really took me on an adventure through the lives of the rich.

This is a summer mystery novel that kept me guessing until the very end. All throughout the novel you know something is up, but it won‘t all be revealed until the end. The way it all came about was very smart and clever.

Browsing a local Mystic indie (with mask on of course 😷) and couldn't resist these two. Oh, how I've missed wandering through a bookstore and adding to my ever growing TBR! ❤️ #bookhaul

This book was quite the surprise. I did not want to put it down. This felt very much like Big Summer, as you will read in the setup.

This is pure summertime fluff, and there‘s nothing wrong with that. It‘s compulsive in a trashy, tawdry way. If you‘re looking for an escape than this book will provide the perfect getaway. Rich people behaving badly aboard a yacht in the South of France. There‘s scheming, backstabbing and a possible murderer at play. #NetGalley #ARC #PediBliss

#ARC #NetGalley So far this is pure summertime fluff, although it‘s marked as a thriller so we shall see....

My current read! This one comes out in May and is great fun! A trip to paradise that goes very badly. Also, I ordered tea!
