Welcome to Litsy!

This book wast my favorite, but I was surprised by how it ended.

9-10-22: My 89th finished book of 2022! Annie Adams leads a great life in LA with her boyfriend Nick. She is a travel writer traveling all over the world for her column. Then one day Nick says he has reconnected with a past girlfriend and wants to move out. Stunned Annie then meets Griffin who changes her life. Annie was a bit wishy-washy for me but otherwise this was a cute story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️📖#️⃣8️⃣9️⃣

My last two reads were excellent, but depressing- hoping this one will be pretty mindless. #currentlyreading

I normally thoroughly enjoy Dave's writing, but I could not bring myself to enjoy this book. I couldn't get into it. The writing lacks her normal lyricism and flow, and the story is lacking in pull.

It's been a busy week at the Rotherhecks! Looking forward to drinking this tea and getting into this new book!

A fun book about love, heartache, and finding yourself. A great summer read.

I gave this book a thumbs up for the writing style. I haven't read anything by Laura Dave that I don't like, and I appreciate her strong female leads. I did, however, find the story painfully unrealistic and hard to relate to. I guess that's how romantic comedies go, though. All in all, it was a good book and I finished it within a few hours.

I just got this in the mail! I'm so excited to start it because I loved 800 Grapes, and I'm excited for her new book.
Has anyone else read The First Husband?

Not as wonderful as I'd hoped it would be.

Great story! Annie had such a hard time making firm choices and trying to figure out what to do with her life when unexpected things happen. When she was uncomfortable, I was too. I think this made for solid writing in this story.

There were a few places that had me holding my breath: "What will Annie choose?" "Will she go or stay?" I didn't know how it would end until the final chapters but I was thrilled when things worked out the way they did.

A really light book so far.

"Sometimes you don't know it. What you have been waiting your whole life for. You don't know it until it is happening."

This was the first of Laura's books that I read, and I loved it. Her writing is sophisticated and funny and thoughtful.
