Welcome to Litsy!

Light Pick. 3.5⭐
⬗ A semi-intriguing mystery mixed with an awkward romance that ended unenthusiastically. But then the epilogue happened, and I thought, “Okay, maybe it wasn't too bad after all.”
⬗ The narration by Cassandra Campbell, Caitlin Davies, and Jeremy Carlisle Parker was good.

The final featured selection in the 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐬 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 is the GMA Buzz Pick 𝐓𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐃𝐨 𝐔𝐬 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 by 𝐋𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐞 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐡 𝐅𝐥𝐲𝐧𝐧. Set in a beautiful Napa, California winery, Flynn asks, “How well can you ever really know someone?“ and invites readers to “read between the 𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 to find out!“ 🍇🍷Published 08/13/24.

Both a love letter to California wine & a family drama, Flynn‘s latest is my favorite of hers so far! Dual narrators & timelines with plenty of drawn out secrets & cliffhangers make it easy to justify just one more chapter! In 2022, widow June is finally ready to move forward from her 6 month whirlwind romance & elopement to Josh Kelly. In 1999, Bev Kelly‘s life as wife, mother & winemaker is upended after the discovery of a receipt. Twisty& fun!

I got really into the story early on, even though it was a little bit slow for my taste (I neglected all my other reads for a day). About halfway in, things started to get a little messy...and then it turned into CRAZY messy!

What turned this into a lower rating than I thought I was going to give this book was the last 2 chapters. I just had a hard time believing the whole thing and again, it just felt like too much.

This story is getting wild! I‘ve neglected all my other reads today, I need to know how this ends… #arc #NetGalley

Felt like reading a thriller. This has kept me interested, even though it‘s a bit slow for my taste. #arc #NetGalley
