One of the best things about a kindle is getting a sample before you buy. The reviews would have me buying this in a heartbeat but I bailed half way through the sample. The writing is poor and I find that the main protagonist is an annoying snob. Should I continue and maybe buy? Is it worth it?

2 ⭐. Why did I read this? I liked the location I guess. It was set in the next town over from me. Amazon and Goodreads descriptions said it was a dark comedic murder mystery. I never saw it, just a lot of spoiled unhappy rich people. And the murder that was coming soon? Didn't happen until the last chapter. 🤨🫤😡

azulaco That‘s disappointing. Wasn‘t this a Mindy Kaling book? 12mo
Blueberry @azulaco I just googled it. You are right. 12mo
Pogue I was looking at picking that one up as it is a local town. I think I will wait a bit now. 12mo

Slow, dull, & the main character is a condescending snob. Couldn't care less what happens to any of the characters tbh. DNF'd at 45%.

A group of friends from college reunite for a luxurious weekend in Napa. As the wine flows so do the old rivalries and resentments. I always love a good college reunion story and was fairly engaged on this one until the ending. It felt rushed and somewhat ridiculous.

Whoa! Very slow lead in. The anxiety and drama in this group of “friends” was anxiety inducing in itself. This book was like one of those roller coasters that take you round and round, finally picking up speed to take you into a crashing waterfall movement. Raj appears to be saving face by throwing an all expenses paid weekend for his college friends. Old injuries come to the forefront and hidden secrets are exposed.

KathyWheeler I didn‘t care for this one at all. I‘ve liked other books by Frank, but this was just ugh. 2y

This was just okay for me. It was an engaging beach read but not one of my favorites for this year!
