⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I enjoyed this more than I expected, as I felt it got off to a slow start. I saw where the story was going but liked seeing it all come together. A #Roll100 #doublespin double whammy! 🙌🏼

I didn‘t realize that a lot of people rated this book really low. But I bet it‘s a LOT better read than my last read, The Wild Boys 😵💫
Update: I really enjoyed this quick read!
I joined the #sundaybuddyread last month to read this doozy. I probably would have bailed if not for the hilarious discussions each week (I finally went back and read the comments for the last week when I was off Litsy) My partner was constantly checking on me while I was reading this because of my loud annoyed sighs at the characters.
The above quote really summed up the main character imo 🙄

Fell off the couch laughing - as she agreed to being bribed to finish this awful book in the chance of winning the DECEMBER Book and treats 😂😘
Congratulations @vlwelser
#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD
I‘ll get it out to post this week 👀
Read for #SundayBuddyRead & between So-So & Pan for me but I‘ll round up slightly because I disliked it less than most of our group, it‘s a book about books & writing & I liked one of the author‘s previous books.🤷🏻♀️The premise had promise but the characters were flat & not very likable & any development in them happened slightly at the end so nothing was plausible & the plot “twist” really wasn‘t one or should not have been. I do like a look⬇️
#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD
I THANK YOU for sticking this one out or even attempting!!! I‘ll let you know the winner of the drawing later today of our December book box CHRISTMASINJULY ♥️
Any final thoughts ?!?!?!
See you for LADY CHATTERLY‘S LOVER ♥️♥️♥️
#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD

#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD

#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD
The way Livs husband treats her 😡
NO EXCUSE NONE
it was a CHOICE.
Everything Liv does is a CHOICE
Liv and all these doubts about marrying her husband and marrying too soon…to what end🤷🏻♀️ it‘s written at least four times throughout the book! About dating around .. going to college..
Ugh uncle.
Neither is life‘s end all be all..
Book throw
So exasperated by this point … YOU???
#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD
Money HOW MUCH he‘s giving to business didn‘t ask his wife ?! Got a loan.
Also COAT CLOSET?

#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD
The sister in law Katrina?!?! WHATABITCH

🤫SHHHHHHHHHH
“How you will feel reading this book- ZERO STARS”
#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD 😵💫😵💫😵💫🤐🤐🤫🤫🤷🏻♀️
If you just want this for the cover and have no intention of reading it, then I definitely recommend this.
#SundayBuddyRead @TheBookHippie
#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
So. I‘ll see you Sunday #SUNDAYBUDDYREAD
You‘ll find out if my book even survived all the throws …. 😵💫🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤫🤫🤫
Til then … not a word 🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐
I‘m enjoying our #SundayBuddyRead discussions for this one and I‘m totally drawn in by the cover, but otherwise not for me. Too many characters annoyed me along the way and I found the ending unsatisfying.
A number of people participating in the #SundayBuddyRead really, really didn‘t like this book. But I didn‘t hate it. I have a habit of trying out as many books as possible about books, libraries, book stores, writers, etc. The cover is gorgeous, and that‘s it‘s selling point for a lot of people. But it has the word “book” in the title, so I was doomed. What made the book so entertaining for me was discussing it with Littens. And I heard book recs.
Is anyone here a House fan? Do you remember his motto, almost like a mantra? #SundayBuddyRead
This wasn‘t what I expected and I was underwhelmed to say the least. I‘m glad that it‘s now off my shelf and have enjoyed discussing it with the #sundaybuddyread!
#bookspinbingo - free space
This books title and cover are deceiving. I could say more but I‘ll leave it at that. Just not my type of book. #sundaybuddyread
#SundayBuddyRead
The best things about this book are the cover and reading it with like minded readers. Big 👎🏼 from me but looking forward to our last discussion next Sunday.

#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD
Hank.
A child about the age of his split..
So he cheated
Essie couldn‘t get pregnant
So it wasn‘t good..
Old troupe. And cruel.
Dates. Superstition…
Liv feels there‘s something more
And UM THE KISS?? As Essie … UMMMMM
#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD
I get the vibe of make your marriage work at all costs - in many different scenarios -so wrong.
The mocking of wealth or nice things- just sounds like an envy/jealous, bitter, angry it‘s not me, really off type person, along with other underlying tones.
Very resentful. Chip on the shoulder?
It all makes me about puke.
It has a truly mean tone.
A lot of assumed troupes and stereo type messages.
Is it the authors feelings ?!
#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD
So, Anthony college sweetheart…
Thoughts on this??
#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD
The lunch with her mom and learning her patents had marriage woes when he died. Her mom telling her to have some thing for herself…

Croatia!
😅👀🤯
#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD
What do you think about the Chloe situation?
📸😂😅🤷🏻♀️
#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD
HOW I WRITE-
what did you think of this part?
#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD
Liv‘s husband response to her new job
“You, why?”
And was he saying she had to ask him?!
What did you think ?
Also his opinion of the writing ..
And the “I knew you could do more than cleaning?!”
And the “is that a new blouse it looks expensive, you‘ll be two grand to be seen with me soon…”
The way the husband is grates me. He is demeaning to her. “It‘s not going to be real writing”?!
SO ABUSIVE.
Book throws… 🤬😡🤮
Thoughts?
