panI really don‘t know how I finished this book..it was that bad. It‘s starts out strong with the preface of a murder and builds at the pace of a 95 year old woman trying to cross the street. Once the story finally hits the climax, it‘s so WTF that it actually made me angry. There was minimal character building to why the person actually carried out what they did. It was so unbelievable and stupid it made the story even worse. Total turd!
While I was enjoying my #audiowalk and listening to The Witness Wore Red, that sweet, innocent looking puppy at the top went and ate the library book I stupidly left on my bed.
I‘m not in a good mood, so I‘m being incredibly annoyed by the characters in The House on Fripp Island and their drama and angst. This might not be the case if I wasn‘t pre-annoyed, so I‘ve decided to switch to calmer characters and read Emma instead. (I‘m determined to finish this book this year.) I would go for a walk as I usually feel better after that, but there‘s a tornado watch right now.
panI didn‘t like this book, I wouldn't call it a good beach read. The prologue of the book held so much promise...hints to a murder mystery unfortunately that page-and-half was the highlight of the book. It was a loose plot, an odd story, a weird ending. Very disappointed.
panLots of drama with some too-easy resolutions. Did not hit for me.
pan“The House on Fripp Island” by Rebecca Kaufman
Spectacularly unartful and unimportant.
pickLet me start by saying that I could not put this book down, it was that good. I thought this would be a light summer read, but this is a pretty meaty story.
