pickA surprisingly enjoyable thriller/mystery set in a remote resort on the California coast. A high school teacher finds her solo trip on what would have been her 20th wedding anniversary interrupted by murder and disaster. A familiar story but with more depth of character than usual.
I was disappointed and this Reese‘s BookClub pick. It‘s a murder mystery at a coastal resort close to where I‘m from. I suppose that‘s what made me want to read this. In the beginning it started off ok but in the end it felt rushed. I just didn‘t want to DNF it. If felt like a YA who dunnit. #fallreading #murdermystery #fyp
panI listened to this over a few sick days (during which I missed a concert I‘d been really excited about). I have no clue what motivated the MC to get involved with solving the murders, art thefts, secret celebrities. Honesty this book simply had too much going on and none of it seemed to make much sense. Could by the NyQuil, could be the book.
so-soStarted off good, but then meandered too much. Then we figured out everything and there was still an hour left in the audiobook which wasn‘t necessary at all.
Craving the feeling of lazy beach days and warm breezes? 🌴🌊

pickHard to describe, but I guess I‘d categorize as magical realism. Really enjoyed getting to know the family. It had a satisfying ending.
pickFive friends make a pact after another friend dies young and suddenly…a funeral pact that can be invoked at any time, no questions asked. The five remaining friends can each have their own “funeral” with the goal that nothing is left unsaid and they reaffirm how much they mean to each other. Heartbreaking, but also positive.
