pickAll in all, the book and it's characters are so different from their movie counterparts, especially the relationships all the women have towards each other, Sally's daughters included, that I find I can enjoy them as separate pieces.
So glad to have read it and knocked it off my TBR list this year!!
pickI loved this book! A bit out there, yes. But that‘s what reading is for me- a place to temporarily escape normality. Merritt is hilarious, Delphie‘s growth is what life is all about, and Cooper‘s dreamy-ness is, well dreamy, even when he‘s broody. A fun, fluffy, romance book full of emotion that I happily read in a day. Book #113 in 2024
pickthis book is a book about storytelling - the stories that get told during our lifetimes and those that remain untold. The protagonist is an author who, at the end of her career moves back to her homeland of DR where she buys a plot of land and builds a cemetery for her unfinished/untold novels. But some stories don‘t want to stay untold. With a touch of magical realism and a mix of historical & cultural elements from DR, this was my sort of book.

4/5 🌟
This is such an odd premise, but it was fun to just go along with it and see what would happen. There are some tense moments, but overall this is an amusing look at relationships, the thing that makes us happy and the things that annoy us.
And two more while listening to The Husbands. This book is fabulous so far!

panI don't know how to start this review.
I picked up the book because 1) it was all over the place and 2) once I looked at it, the premise sounded interesting but this one wasn't for me.
The FMC came across as flat, a bit one dimensional as the book in her POV talks about her outfits, her apartment, these pieces of paper, and high scale restaurants and bars in L.A., which I didn't care.
A booktok raved book has failed me again.
so-soI absolutely love this movie and was excited about reading the book. All the elements were there, but this isn‘t the same story. My biggest disappointment was the Aunts. They‘re favourite characters for me and they aren‘t main characters. Also they seem colder and older. Saly and Gillian don‘t even live with them or do magic. Anyway, I‘m so glad that this story produced the movie and can‘t wait to see number 2, but I didn‘t enjoy it as much.
bailedI really wanted to like this book, especially because I have a pin on my jacket for it. But it was like when you wake up and try to remember your dream but it makes no sense but you write it all down anyway….yeah it was like that. Many thoughts that were jumbled together with just a few connections. I quit and didn‘t finish it. Book #107 in 2024
