I was so close to bailing when a very unexpected twist occurred that made me want to see this book through to the end. It does read a bit YA which I hadn‘t found in previous books from Jennifer Weiner but she managed to pull off a fun and interesting 🐥 lit mystery🩷Good choice if you‘re looking for a beach read🏖️ A plus size influencer gets drawn back into a toxic friendship with her HS nemesis when she asks her to be in her wedding party.

squirrelbrain Sounds like a good (beach) read. I just found a 50p used copy on Amazon, as it fits with one of my last challenge prompts. 9mo

Cinfhen I almost forgot….Im using it for #BodyPositivity #52Books @squirrelbrain and bathing suit on cover for #ISpyBingo stick with it….because you‘ll probably be frustrated the first 1/3 of the book! 9mo

squirrelbrain Hmmm…I‘m not sure now if it fits cos I just checked the prompt and it‘s #romancewithafatlead. What do you think? 9mo

Cinfhen She‘s a plus size influencer and there is a “romance” so it does fit @squirrelbrain - she also isn‘t one to cower to those that seek to shame fat people. She “owns” her weight in a positive manner. (edited) 9mo

DivineDiana Years ago,I won a contest to be a guest of Jennifer Weiner at a concert for a band consisting of authors. She was singing with the band that night. Love her! Stacked! ❤️ 9mo

Cinfhen I read her memoir a few years ago and she mentioned being in a band of authors @DivineDiana I think Ann Patchett might have been part of it at one time also! And she‘s a #PhillyGirl ♥️ 9mo

DivineDiana My understanding is that the band members rotated. I don‘t think Ann Patchett was there, but I do remember Amy Tan and Mitch Album. Stephen King had toured with them. I was hoping to see him, but he was not there for that performance. So fun! (edited) 9mo

I started TJR a few days ago and will probably finish it during the Super Bowl. 😎

As always, there are more books waiting in the wings.

Cinfhen Are you more excited for the game, commercials or Rihanna ??? 1y

Cinfhen As a former #PhillyGirl I‘m pumped 🦅 1y

Susanita @Cinfhen I‘m not excited by either team, so I‘m just going to soak in the whole experience. What makes me the happiest is knowing that once it‘s over, Spring Training is right around the corner! 1y

Susanita @cinfhen NGL Rihanna was pretty good! What made it even better was the folks at the table next to us singing along at the top of their lungs. 1y

Cinfhen Haha 😂 I‘m sad the Eagles lost but RhiRhi ROCKED 🙌🏻 1y

I‘ve had a lazy day today and haven‘t read much. There were some fantastic books this week with the exception of The Life of the Mind. However, my favorite was definitely the Patchett! @Cinfhen I hope you love it too!

This has been a truly great reading month overall. I‘m averaging more than 4⭐️ for the first time this year, a welcome change after last month‘s mediocrity. My current books are no exception. 19 left in the #DriveTo500! #BookReport

Cinfhen Wow, the Patchett was better than the Smith!??!? It‘s DEFINITELY going on this week‘s #WeeklyForecast🥰I can‘t believe you‘re less than 20 away from the BIG 500🥳🥳🥳 2y

Megabooks @Cinfhen I‘ve sat down to write this reply 3 times and molly keeps losing her ball under the couch!! The Smith was 4⭐️ for me and the Patchett was 4.5⭐️. I don‘t know if she can beat Will for this #PhillyGirl, but I think you will love the Patchett regardless! 2y

Cinfhen Truth!! I was definitely feeling the #PhillyVibes 2y

Cinfhen It‘s TOTALLY worth a credit!!! It‘s gonna be my BEST audio of the year @Megabooks 2y

julesG You're not making it any easier for me to resist getting/reading this book. I don't do memoirs. This is definitely not for me. And don't even think of telling me otherwise, I'll just go 🙉🙉🙉 Lala Lala Lala 😉 2y

Cinfhen I‘m REALLY sorry #NotSorry @julesG but as a #PhillyGirl and #EightiesGirl NOTHING could be any BETTER than hearing Will Smith read this audio!!! He raps, sings, acts and dishes….. #NoParalysisThrougAnalysis 2y

Cinfhen It‘s FANTASTIC @julesG @Megabooks 2y

julesG I'm a big Will Smith fan (actually we all are). I was hoooooooooping you'd put me off the book. You didn't, of course. 😬 Sold! 2y

Cinfhen If you enjoy audios @julesG I suggest you go that route although @MicheleinPhilly read the book and she loved it in print - so either way you WIN 🏆 2y

MicheleinPhilly YAY!!! I loved it so so much. I didn‘t go to his book tour stop here but I did watch the livestream. It was 🔥. Queen Latifah interviewed him and he and Jeff put on a mini concert at the end. 2y

Cinfhen Oh wow!!! That must have been AMAZING to watch @MicheleinPhilly 2y

kspenmoll I just adore the cover! 2y

Cinfhen The cover art is UH.MAY.ZING @kspenmoll but the content is EVEN BETTER!! Audio narration by Smith is epic 2y

EadieB @Cinfhen I'm on hold for audio but will not receive it until 30 days! 4y

Johanna414 Rita's 😍😍😍😍😍😍 4y

Cinfhen It‘s worth the wait @EadieB and I‘m sure the print will be just as good💙it‘s definitely a book to pick up @BarbaraTheBibliophage @TrishB @erzascarletbookgasm 4y

EadieB @Cinfhen 👍 4y

Cinfhen I know @johanna414 Rita‘s is THE BEST 😛 4y

Cinfhen I know you read and loved this book @MicheleinPhilly I can see why 4y

MoonWitch94 Love it! Stacked! I live 10‘mins away from Philly & didn‘t realize how much I miss it now that I can‘t go since the stay at home order. 😔 4y

Cinfhen I‘m sorry I forgot you had a Philly connection @MoonWitch94 😘 4y

Librariana Just your pictures ALONE (and their accompanying definitions!) have piqued my interest! 4y

Cinfhen Did you feel like you got a strong impression of Philly @squirrelbrain ???? 4y

Cinfhen Thanks @Librariana Remind me where you call home 🏠 4y

Librariana @Cinfhen - The city of Spokane in Washington state 🌲🐳 But a big part of my ❤ is in El Paso, Texas where my family lives. I'm originally from México 😊 4y

MoonWitch94 @Cinfhen Oh no worries! 😘 I‘m just so glad you posted about this book. I love reading books that take place locally. 4y

TrishB @Cinfhen @MicheleinPhilly @squirrelbrain I shall definitely be buying! Holding out for an offer at the moment, but may give in 😁 4y

Cinfhen I‘m sooo jealous of your history @Librariana so many cool cities...where in Mexico??? I‘ve never been to either Texas or Washington State but I‘d love to visit both places!!!!! I have been to Mexico a few times, it‘s lovely there...colorful and fun 4y

Cinfhen It‘s really good @TrishB but I think you can wait for a deal xxx 4y

Cinfhen Where do u live @MoonWitch94 ??? 4y

squirrelbrain I‘ve never been to Philly, Cindy (NYC a lot, but not Philly, yet). However I did feel that I learnt a lot and the book certainly felt that it was ‘of it‘s place‘. 4y

Leftcoastzen I want that cheesesteak !!! 4y

MoonWitch94 @Cinfhen Cherry Hill. 10 minutes over the Ben Franklin. ((I know, I know...Jersey people lol 😂)) 4y

Cinfhen Ahhhh, Cherry Hill @MoonWitch94 lots of kids from Cherry Hill went to school with my older kids and Cherry Hill used to be the home of Hockey Giant....a place we used to frequent until they closed 🏒 4y

Cinfhen @Leftcoastzen I need to admit....I‘ve never eaten one 🙊 4y

MicheleinPhilly You‘ve never had a cheesesteak???? 4y

Amandajoy My husband worked at a Rita‘s in Baltimore when he was in high school. He was shocked and excited when we found one in Omaha. 4y

EadieB @Cinfhen I make the best homemade cheese steaks but the secret is the rolls. Has to be hard-crusted rolls. Amoroso makes some good rolls. @MicheleInPhilly 4y

ValerieAndBooks Ahh, Rita‘s! My kids always got excited when it was their opening day. I wonder what that would look like now with social distancing. I thought I had stacked this — I remember @MicheleinPhilly mentioning it— but will be sure to now! I‘ve never had a cheesesteak either, being vegetarian 😂 (edited) 4y

EadieB @Librariana I have an aunt and uncle that live in Spokane Washington. They live at 4308 N Marguerite Rd. Spokane, WA 99212 4y

mrp27 Ohhh I almost forgot about Rita's!! Yummmm.... 4y

Cinfhen I recall Rita‘s opening day @ValerieAndBooks FREE WATER ICE ♥️definitely the good ole days!!! WOW... a franchise in Omaha @Amandajoy cool 😎 do they have Rita‘s on the West Coast @mrp27 or do you remember Rita‘s from your NY/NJ days??? 4y

Cinfhen Amoroso rolls is another Philly institution @EadieB along with Tastykake 😊I keep kosher @MicheleinPhilly @ValerieAndBooks so I don‘t eat meat & dairy together... so I‘ve never had a cheeseburger, chicken parm or bacon 😉 4y

mrp27 Rita's was from my NY years... Sadly, none on the west coast. 😕 4y

EadieB @Cinfhen Rita‘s still does FREE WATER ICE on their opening for the season in my town! 4y

The Beneficiary: Fortune, Misfortune, and the Story of My Father | Janny Scott

And in keeping with my Philly theme and convoluted book/film thoughts #GraceKelly played the role of a Philadelphia socialite in the film High Society, which was loosely based on real life socialite Helen Hope Montgomery Scott. (Original film was Philadelphia Story). Tagged book was written by her granddaughter, Janny Scott, about her father, Robert Montgomery Scott. Book was gifted to me from the wonderful @DivineDiana ❤️ High up on my #TBR

BarbaraBB Hi Cindy, did you receive a parcel sent from the Netherlands by Bol.com? 5y

Cinfhen Not that I‘m aware of @BarbaraBB but mail here is ridiculous 🤨 5y

BarbaraBB Hmm.. I have send you something direct from the website where I bought it but now they say it should have been delivered - and there‘s no track & trace. Frustrating. I‘ll check it. 5y

Cinfhen You‘re too kind @BarbaraBB I‘m sorry the package is missing. I‘ll let you know when it turns up💗 5y

BarbaraBB Okay! And if I am losing patience I‘ll send it again! 5y

DivineDiana Love that photo of Robert Montgomery Scott! He looks like a movie star! 😘 Still high on my #TBR as well. 😉 (edited) 5y
