Long Island Compromise: A Novel | Taffy Brodesser-Akner

Okay. Unnecessarily long. I went back and forth between ebook and audio. The reveal of the kidnapper was too subtle for me, in that it would‘ve been more interesting had there been more breadcrumbs leading up to it or response after it.

3/4⭐️
I finished this last week. Definitely a pick. Very fluffy. Perfect escape reading. Moving on to the third book as soon as my hold comes in.

I was a bit disappointed with this, because I loved Leave The World Behind. Brooke starts working for a billionaire who wants to give away all his money before he dies, but she starts to become more greedy for herself.

Brooke, and her mother, were both awful people but I quite like books with terrible characters and the book certainly made me think.

What nearly turned it into a so-so for me was the nothing ending - it just fizzled out.

sarahbarnes I hate those kinds of endings. 2w
AmyG Uh oh. I loved Leave the World Behind. 2w
BarbaraBB That‘s too bad. I didn‘t love Leave the world behind that much so will probably take a pass on this one 2w
Cathythoughts I loved Leave the World Behind too. I‘ll give this one a go 🤞🏻 1w

Started this one on my lunch break today but it‘s not horror/thriller so I‘m considering putting this one to the side and keeping on with my Spooky TBR.

Sex and Vanity | Kevin Kwan

I never read the book, but I enjoyed the movie Crazy Rich Asians. This book is by that same author. It was interesting, but so pretentious. I don‘t hail from old money, or new money either, and all the name dropping doesn‘t mean a thing to me so that part was annoying.

Idealistic, altruistic Brooke starts working for a billionaire‘s foundation to work toward giving away his wealth. But as she delves into the job, she starts to change and not for the better. I really liked this, though I‘m not sure what I think of the ending, which seemed a little lackluster.
