Me actually reading a #botm the month I received it is completely unheard of! #newyearnewme I guess? 😂 A little airplane reading.
so-soThis adult fiction debut‘s certainly gained a lot of buzz from being a #BOTM choice & the January Reese Witherspoon pick! And it‘s one that does draw the reader right in with multiple narrators, a book-within-a-book & an authentic depiction of that all encompassing girlhood best friend relationship. It kept my attention (though simple communication & a good shaking of sense into some of them was all that it needed to be resolved!) & I liked it!

This is the kind of storytelling that‘s easy to get swept up in as it carries you along its narrative tide. The way there were multiple POVs (and multiple audiobook narrators) was really well done. 🎧 #reesesbookclub
so-soI‘m definitely the target demographic for this, even moreso than I am for a lot of the books I love, but all I‘ve got it “meh.” It‘s too highfalutin, and not ultimately about very much—especially because the catalyzing event feels a lot less damning than how the characters view it.
pickLoved it! Couldn‘t stop reading.
pickThis is such a good story that I found myself putting it down just so that it would not end.
The way the author gave even minor characters their own POV was a great move in my opinion.
I didn‘t get the comparison with Evelyn Hugo while I was reading (and after I finished) the book. But, now that I think about it, I see it.
If you picked this as a #BOTM selection, you‘re in for a treat!
Read this!
