Pickpick

Loved the premise of this book, but thought it could have been more. A pick, but a low pick.

AmyG Same. I was hoping for more, too. 2w
Bookwormjillk @AmyG I think I might have liked it more if I wasn‘t going in with such high expectations. 2w
AmyG Same again. I absolutely loved Leave the World Behind…so I was very excited for this one. 2w
BarbaraBB I felt this way about Leave the World Behind so am in no hurry to read this one. 2w

It's AAPI month
I have gone through my TBR bookcase and picked out 4 books I want to read this month to celebrate, I don't think Prescribe Cats is technically part of this month since it is a Japanese not Japanese American but I am adding it anyways and will hopefully pick up a couple of others including my Aardvark book box with Ling Ling Huang.

This…was not for me. We read this for my IRL book group in March and then watched the movie together—this is a rare case where I liked the movie better!

The whole read kind of low-key annoyed me. Reading about the lavish casual spending of the uber-rich just didn‘t land well with me, especially right now. The characters were largely shallow and/or unlikable—I realize that it was intended as a send-up of a particular segment of society, but… ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) …the satire felt too soft and in places, it read a little like a #notallrichpeople justification. I felt like I learned a bit about Singaporean and Chinese culture, but reading about the uber-rich segment of another culture isn‘t really my goal for cultural learning. It was a quick read, though—and I did find myself curious to find out what would happen next (just not enough to read the next book). And I enjoyed the food descriptions! 2mo

3-30-25: My 21st finished book of 2025! I really didn‘t like this book. As a fan of Palahniuk novels, I had much higher hope but they never came to fruition. I‘m not one to bail on a book so I saw it to the end hoping it would turn around and get better but that did not happen. Cecil and Otto are brothers in the English countryside and they come from a family of murderers. They are spoiled men who act as if they are still children. ⭐️⭐️📖#️⃣2️⃣1️⃣
