I really enjoyed reading about Sarah and Lauren's lives. Even the mundane seemed somehow more interesting. I kept finding myself surprised that this book was written by a man (except when he talked about sex) he has the uncanny ability to understand what goes on in a woman's head! Perfect summer book!

Heard so many great things about this book. I really enjoyed the main character, but I feel like it could have been edited down #toolong

I was over 100 pages in and realized I didn't really care where the story went. It is nicely written, just didn't grab me!

This book is really well written, but it's just not grabbing me. So we're breaking up, it's me, not you. Seriously.

Dare Me: A Novel | Megan Abbott

Took me 100 pages to really get into the story. She is a fantastic writer, but I had a hard time caring about any of these awful characters! But she reeled me in and I had to stay up late to finish it last night! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I've read most of the HP series, but not all of it. After reading The Cursed Child, I decided I had to start from the beginning. #harrypotter

Really enjoyed this book! I loved the steady, even pace of the narrative with a bit of suspense thrown in. The writing is beautiful and funny. I really enjoyed being a fly on the wall of Catherine's privileged world. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

SUCH. A. GOOD. BOOK. A stellar combination of books, typography and code breaking. It's like The Da Vinci Code sponsored by AIGA, Google and Apple. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #24in48

Liked, but did not love this book. Definitely an interesting exploration into what people will do for attention and to feel like they belong. Fabulous writing though!

I might be a little biased since this book happens to be dedicated to me (squee 🎉) but this is an AWESOME book! The story is so unique and engaging, I couldn't put it down. You are swept into Hollywood and the lives of these two friends. Couldn't put it down!

beagle.mama How very, very cool!! 8y
