Welcome to Litsy!

Book 6

I listened to The Best Friend by Jessica Fellowes. Bella and Kate are best friends growing up. After having a falling, they reconnect in midlife. It's a terrible depiction of friendship with unlikable characters. 2.5 stars

The style left a lot to be desired. I did not like that there were entire chapters made up of just dialogue between two characters, often Kate and Bella. I sometimes found myself confused as to who was speaking, plus this type of presentation provided less insight into how the words said made the characters feel. I also disliked Kate so much that her character made me not only annoyed with her, but with Bella as well for putting up with her.

Unpopular opinion, but I didn‘t find this book quite as horrific as the reviews say. It is definitely missing a lot of plot, but the point is there through and through. It‘s a super quick read, and its a lot of reading between the lines, but I liked it. The ending is amazing!

This one has horrible reviews, but I‘m not going to let that stop me 😝.. 😬

This is an odd but intense and entertaining, novel! Bella and Kate are best friends until Kate kisses the boy Bella is crushing on. Fast forward to adulthood; both are married with a child…but things go haywire and yikes!! Fellowes addresses the power of female friendships deftly but be ready for surprises!
