One Hundred Years of Betty | 
panYeah, nah. #ozfiction I was compelled to read for book club.
CarolynM This is getting pushed quite hard in the papers, but it didn‘t sound very promising to me. Thanks for confirming that🙂 5d
MrsMalaprop @CarolynM Yes it is getting promoted, perhaps because she‘s connected? I found it a chore and struggled with the annoyance I feel when there are so many more worthy/interesting books out there waiting for me. Some in my book club liked it. It felt like she had a list of life events that she ticked off. I didn‘t care about Betty one bit. Lightweight. (Too harsh? 😬) 5d
CarolynM No, I don‘t think you‘re being too harsh. I enjoyed Offspring (especially because I used to see them filming while walking my kids too and from school 😆) but it was lightweight too. Connections definitely get you attention for new work. 4d
