Welcome to Litsy!

I didn‘t love this as much as Big Stone Gap, but I did enjoy it. It almost felt a little bit like a prologue to Demon Copperhead in a way. The mines are closing but the opioid epidemic hadn‘t set in for SW Virginia yet. #Backlistreadathon @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks

#AwesomeApril starts tomorrow and my plan is to not get out of bed until I‘ve made a dent.

First night on the porch this year. Reading the tagged and listening to the Red Sox.

Without an actual plot, and it moved pretty slow… and teenage girls. It was ok, can‘t say much more than that for me. I loved Ave Maria‘s best friend (at first), but she also made a stupid decision that I was quite disgusted with later (you‘d think she was the teenager!). I think I‘m very much like Ave Maria. I‘m not a parent, but it wouldn‘t surprise me if I had been, that I‘d be similar to her.

It was ok. Not as good as the first one, in my opinion, particularly the first half. It picked up a bit in the second half, but I was annoyed with both Jack and Ave for much of the book. I am undecided on whether or not I‘ll read the 3rd book... I probably will.

I read the first book in the series a couple years ago and found it charming, but I just couldn‘t get into this one AT ALL. The whole vibe of it‘s always the wife‘s fault if the husband cheats just bugged me immensely. So I‘m bailing on the rest of the #series too. OTOH in 2019 I read 43 books that were part of a series, including two complete trilogies and finishing off two long standing stories. ⬇️

Final installment in the Big Stone Gap trilogy.
Decent series. The characters sometimes were removed from the reader; I felt like I was constantly getting to know them again and again.
Still a pick.

Good

Evening reading.

Easy, enjoyable read.
