so-soThis book seems to be quite polarizing based on the reviews I‘ve read. Unfortunately, it wasn‘t a pick for me. While it‘s always fun to read about book within a book 📖 this has a bit of a Lifetime movie vibe...which isn‘t always a bad thing at the right time. This just wasnt the time for me 🙃me.
I read this for #popsugar18 #bookinvolvingaheist ☑️
saresmoore Yes! Lifetime movie! I could never put my finger on what it was I disliked about this book, but I think you nailed it. 5y
AmyG It was no great work of literature. But reminded me more if a Hallmark movie. One of my guilty pleasures. I can see why people didn‘t like it. 5y
Cinfhen Awwwww, I loved this book #rightbookrighttime 5y

Cinfhen @saresmoore Lifetime Movie would be the dreadful![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
The Great Alone 5y
The Great Alonesaresmoore @Cinfhen Yikes, I suppose I‘ll be avoiding that one! 5y
Centique I felt very much the same as you - I think I gave it a pick, because maybe on a different day it would have appealed to me more. 5y
LeahBergen I found this one cloying and schmaltzy (and I‘m usually not averse to a bit of schmaltz 😆). @saresmoore @Centique 5y
Centique @LeahBergen great description! I don‘t hear the word schmaltz very often - I need to use it more 😂 5y
Reviewsbylola I had this on my TBR but I don‘t think I‘d like it. 5y
Reviewsbylola Hush your mouth about The Great Alone!!! 😂😂 @Cinfhen 5y
Reviewsbylola Also, you‘ve had a recent binge of so-sos Emily. 😬😬 (edited) 5y
TheLudicReader I didn‘t like this one at all, but I often feel in the minority. 5y
Cinfhen Shmaltzy!!!!! You sound like my Bubbi Sarah!!!!! Thanks for the smile @LeahBergen 5y
emilyhaldi Lol @Cinfhen @Reviewsbylola I‘m #teamcindy when it comes to The Great Alone 😜 5y
emilyhaldi I know!!! @Reviewsbylola I‘m on a really bad book streak 😒 I‘m trying to finish up books for #popsugar18 and unfortunately I keep picking duds... books I don‘t really want to read but they fit the prompts and happen to be in my tbr stack. I need to take more time to curate my challenge books in the future!! 5y
emilyhaldi Yes!! @LeahBergen I couldn‘t have said it better myself 😁 5y
Cinfhen Woohoo!!! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🧡🌻 5y
LeahBergen @Cinfhen It‘s just the best word! 😆 5y
Megabooks I did enjoy this one. But I think it was a right book right time for me, too. I needed something schmaltzy. That‘s the only think that makes me wary of joining challenges. I‘m such a mood reader. 5y
Cinfhen @Megabooks I found that most books I want to read can work its way into a challenge box if you‘re creative enough 😆that‘s the best part of the challenge & being a mood reader!!!! 5y
Megabooks @Cinfhen Thanks! There were some prompts in #booked2019 that I was a bit worried about, but hopefully I can get a bit creative! I‘m assuming you can skip a prompt if it‘s not right for you? 5y
Cinfhen Absolutely!!! It‘s not about completing 24 prompts @Megabooks it‘s about celebrating reading with friends xx (edited) 5y
britt_brooke It was narrowly a pick for me, but you‘re right about it being Lifetime movie-ish. 😆 5y
