Tried to start a book club with my brother. We decided on this series and while he‘s finishing the first book, I “accidentally” read the second one. I‘ve already read the whole series, which I love, and I‘m trying to slow down before I start the third one. However, let‘s be real, that‘s not going to happen. #sarahjmaas #acourtofwingsandruin #readfaster #bookclubfail

Nute Love the whole thing about a sister-brother book club! How‘s it coming along? 4y
bookstoregoblin @Nute I‘ve read like three other books since we started and this kid hasn‘t even finished the first book. Haha But now I have something to bug him about every chance I get. 4y

This book could have been a great exploration of surrogacy in India, its ethics, its emotional toll, cultural differences, morality, etc. Instead it is a collection of trite conversations and terrible parties where people judge each other and talk about materialistic things.

I always hated those parties. After too much of the irritating whining, I said, I am going home from this terrible party and read a good book.

ErinC Good to know. It's on my kindle waiting and I keep skipping it. I no longer feel bad about that. 8y
Gezemice @ErinC You might like it, it has good reviews. It might be just me. 8y
bookishkai I started it for my book club, and I only got through the first chapter before walking away. I also wanted much more from this book than what it delivered. 8y

Gezemice @bookishkris I was put off by the first scene, where Priya wakes up and nags her husband just because she can't sleep and he can. How self-centered, robbing him of his sleep! I stuck with it for a while because book club, but the rest of the characters were even more self-centered or complete doormats. I just could not go on. 8y
emmanoble I felt the same way! Glad it wasn't just me 8y
Gezemice @emmanoble There are so many good books to read, no need to read one we don't enjoy :) 8y

Another book where I didn't like a single character - I jumped to the end just to see if it was going where I thought it was and bailed. #bookclubfail

sprainedbrain I'm with you! On one hand, I want it to grab hold of my interest... On the other, I'm afraid it will. 😃 9y
Texasblues I might have finished it, just to see if I was right about everything, but I just asked another book club member to confirm my suspicions, lol. 9y
Gezemice Who picked that book?? ;) 9y
Texasblues Not me!! 9y

Mehso-so

Unfortunately, this story of a dysfunctional family did not hold my attention. I found the story slow, and the timeline odd. A lot of my book club really enjoyed the writing and related to the characters, but it was not the book for me! #bookclubfail
