so-soFebruary 2025 Book #7
Sorry, unpopular opinion here. I think this book was overhyped for me. That situation at the hotel was so unrealistic to me. Then, we have a character not only with suicidal ideation but also a plan to do it and it was ignored? I have read books with morbid humor like Hagman by Maya Binyam but from the beginning you see the absurd tone. I didn‘t see that in this novel. It was tragic so sad her situation but ignored⬇️
pickThis was a four book bind up. I loved the characters and the friendship story plot of the book. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.

1. The Wedding People was my first book by Alison Espach and I loved it. I now have Notes on Your Sudden Disappearance on my TBR.
2. Tagged.
Lately I've been reading the Princess Diaries series. I read the first few when I was growing up and always loved them. I still love that format in books. I've got two left in the series Royal Wedding and The Quarantine Princess Diaries.
so-soA woman who wants to kill herself gets stuck at the most perfectionist bride's wedding. Great setting but it just became toooo preachy at some points. Great characters though, them being the reason I kept on reading. I for sure know this is gonna be a great movie and I'd love it more than the book!
3.5/5🌟
pickUnsurprisingly, given all the Litsy love for this one, I loved this book! I love how Espach took contemporary comedic fiction tropes and found genuine humanity underneath. The day drinking mother of the bride, the uptight sister of the groom, the perfectionist verging on bridezilla? They are all wrestling with their own vulnerabilities and trying to get through their days.

pickThis was a very fun road trip romance. No stress about the romance- just read and relax for your hea. Takes place in Ireland with such cute interactions. I love this for a happy cozy book.

•The overall theme at work here was solid, but sometimes it went off on unnecessary tangents that pulled me out of the story entirely too often.
•Helen Laser‘s narration was fantastic.
It's a beautiful day to read outdoors!
panI think the whole point of this book was for rich people to just be awful people for over 300 pages. I didn't think any of the "twists" were twists because I saw every one of them coming. This book annoyed me so much because absolutely no one was likable, just all bad people because they can because their rich. Gross. 1/5
Maybe the book was so well commented with great reviews and a rating of more that 4 stars in GR that I expected a stronger story🤷🏽♀️ 3⭐️ 2d
