The Lost Apothecary: A Novel | Sarah Penner

#tfw the book YOU selected for book club is … not good 😬

Anybody else read this one? I‘m on chapter 2 and so far it‘s pure cringe. Does it get easier to ignore the hackish writing I‘ve the plot starts? Please say yes.

Bonus points for the audiobook narrator pronouncing “Northanger” as rhyming with “danger” 🙄

CSeydel This is a perfect example of why you don‘t choose a book based on its cover! Is that not the most lovely cover? 1w

5feet.of.fury I read it… I didn‘t really like it… lmao 1w

CSeydel @5feet.of.fury It‘s so bad 1w

5feet.of.fury @CSeydel I remember vividly years later what I didn‘t like about the plot so you still might get a good book club discussion even if you don‘t love it 😅🙃 1w

CSeydel @5feet.of.fury ooh I hope so! 1w

JulietteReadsALot @CSeydel I think that, in this case, the “contemporary“ story totally ruins the “past“ story. It would have been a far better book, far less frustrating, if it had only focused on the past... 1w

CSeydel @JulietteReadsALot interesting! Yes, I‘m finding the contemporary storyline very limp compared to the murderous apothecary 1w
