Welcome to Litsy!

They just make it so tempting to lie here and read, even when it‘s nice out!
This book is kinda scratching my Judith Krantz itch… totally frothy fun with twists and rich people behaving badly and a tropical island setting.

1. I think so. Hollywood stars, Caribbean island.
2. The cover is the main reason I picked up this one! It was perfect summer reading. Light, frothy, over dramatic, fun!

The Siren was a Twisty mystery. While the cover looks like light Summer Reading it does have some very dark moments which include Sexual Assault.

It was my next to last read of #SummerReading2021 - since Litsy only lets you Post one picture at a time. It's going to take more than Post. 😉

Thinking I can squeeze another into #SummerReading2021. I bought Kindle book on Sale for 3.99 earlier in the Summer. Spent this month Audible Credit on it. So I could swap back and forth.

If you‘re wanting a fast read that doesn‘t take itself too seriously this is a good choice. Told from three different character narratives it‘s a bit predictable but at the same time engrossing. A little mystery, a lot of Hollywood drama and voila. The Siren.

This is the 1st book I‘ve given 5 stars to on Goodreads in a long time. This was such an enjoyable book! The pacing was excellent & the development of the 3 narrators was stellar as well. Even though this is a book about the filming of a movie, this would make an excellent movie itself! I love good books about the behind the scenes of Hollywood. For those who‘ve read THE SIREN, who would you cast as Cole, Taylor, Stella, Jackson, & Felicity?

A satisfying page turner in the shadow of Bill Cosby‘s release. I saw every twist coming and enjoyed it anyway.

What a ride. A saucy mystery/contemporary fiction romp into starlets and secrets. This was seriously good.

This wasn‘t a book I would normally have read but so many people have said it was a really great read. Though it wasn‘t my favorite book, I am glad that I read it.

A sweet deal!

if you loved The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo and would like more of that but with a slightly darker tone, some light thriller elements, a tropical location, and a contemporary setting- this might be your perfect summer read

This story unfolds way too slowly and all the characters are pretty much unlovable. We are given small bits at a time to a culminating ending that was just like whatever. I wanted so much to love this book, but when you give me no redeeming characters, I have a hard time to get on board. Yes, the ending could have you changing your mind, but for me it was far to late to save this book.
