Welcome to Litsy!

A few summer reads, thoughts below :)

⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Ocean at the End of the Lane - well written, not quite my ☕️
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Touch of Jen - I felt physically uncomfortable the entire time, which I considered to be a success?
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Before the coffee gets cold - sweet, heart wrenching book about life, death, and all in between
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Midnight Library - interesting concept, didn‘t “love”

I loved this graphic novel, so this serves as a self reminder to read the rest of the volumes! #Dark #WickedWhispers @eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

1. I get dressed in the morning and undressed at night. @Deblovestoread reminded me that I exercise 3/week and wear exercise clothes! Totally forgot this.
2. The wife in the tagged book worries constantly about what she‘s wearing, how her husband will feel about about what she‘s wearing, and how others see her in what she‘s wearing! Yes, she‘s as neurotic as she sounds.

This one was just okay for me. It was pretty predictable and there was t anything that was overly new and exciting to me. It felt like stories I‘ve read before in some way or another and the characters were very unsympathetic. It had a Desperate Housewives feel, but just didn‘t work for me.

#roll100 read - This was ok. I guessed some of the twists along the way and wasn‘t quite as gripping as some of the reviews make out

You just have to go along for the ride with this one. It‘s first person narrative so you really get that obsessive, full on vibe from her. It reads sort of like a thriller but the drama is all confined to the narrator. Absolutely my sort of read. I did get an inkling about the ending @BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes so I wasn‘t completely surprised but I still thought it was brilliant.

This was wild! Such a range of emotions - from respecting to empathizing with to disliking the wife. The twist at the end is interesting, but annoyingly typical that the man puts so much less effort into the “game” the two are playing

Took myself to a lovely little cafe for dinner ♥️ just started this book and I‘m loving it.

135 pages of the narrator whining and pining her BFF is more than enough #HailTheBail
