When Life Gives You Lululemons | Lauren Weisberger
Pickpick

A "trendy" story for spring/summer '18. Not worth buying but definitely worth joining a long library waiting list. I don't think the storyline has the staying power of The Devils Wears Prada, but it was a fast and fun poolside read.

I'M SHOOK. This book starts off pretty slow; slow enough that my digital loan expired and I had to switch my kindle to airplane mode (guilty). In the end, the time the author spent developing her characters and the scene was well worth it. So terrified, I had to stop reading to tell someone. Haven't been that surprised by a thriller in a while.

Confessions of a Shopaholic | Sophie Kinsella
Panpan

This book is terrible, I would actively encourage people not to read it. I know it's meant as a light and fun read in which the lead character recognizes the error of her ways, but too much time is spent focusing on the main character's material obsession. The book makes light of severe shopping addition and doesn't spend enough time on treatment.

All the Missing Girls | Megan Miranda
Panpan

The core plot of this novel is no different than any other missing girl thriller. It's differentiated in the way Miranda unfolds her story, backwards, day by day. Overall, the backwards nature of the story is confusing and hard to piece together. I read the book in less than 48 hours and still struggled connect the chapters into sequential events. Luckily the book reads fast or else the reader would surely be lost.

The Last Suppers | Mandy Mikulencak
Pickpick

Great writing and flow. Loved the juxtaposition of the food descriptions and the impact they had on the men that requested them with the location / time period of a southern 1950s prison in Louisiana. Recipes provided a solid backbone and reprieve from the life story of Ginny Polk.

DebinHawaii This one sounds excellent! Stacking it. 📚👍 6y

I picked up this book after seeing an interview by Jessica Knoll. She spoke about her personal experiences and how they influenced the book but how she was initially hesitant to share that with her readers. I liked the honesty that Jessica showed in her writing. The book read more like a teen novel though than an adult novel. The descriptions of her current life seemed to be a bit teen fantasy than accurate portray of someone in that industry.

The Good Daughter: A Novel | Karin Slaughter
Pickpick

The book was reviewed as the Gillian Flynn meets Law and Order and I would say that was accurate. The book was a fast read and I enjoyed the character development of both sisters (Sam and Charlie). A couple things surprised me while other developments that were clearly meant to surprise the reader were fairly predictable. The foreshadowing used by Karin Slaughter was similar to Gillian Flynn in Dark Places.
