The Girls: A Novel | Emma Cline

I'm already sort of annoyed by the phrase "drone of honeysuckle" and the huge font size, but I'm going to stick with it . . . .

A Portrait of Emily Price | Katherine Reay

I am burning through books lately! Let's hope the streak continues with this one. Should be a fun, light read if other Reay books I've read are any indication.

I'm a lawyer and can admit that some law firms will destroy the soul, but this seems a little over-the-top.

Cinfhen How's the book? It sounds like a fun read! 8y
Madeline I like it so far! Great sense of humor but I'm not sure where the plot is headed. 8y
Cinfhen Good to know, thanks 😊 8y

I get why lots of people don't enjoy this book and I think maybe they have calmer internal monologues than Harry Quantum. I identify with the random thoughts running through his head all the time!

With the start of this book, I am caught up through September on ARCs from NetGalley! The synopsis sounds great, but the reviews are pretty meh.

I'm feeling annoyed that the description on Amazon reveals a plot point not discussed until just over halfway through the book!

Reviewsbylola I hate that!! That's one reason I try not to read blurbs when I'm just starting a book. 8y
Madeline I usually avoid them, but I was trying to figure out a character's name because I'm listening to it on audio and I couldn't tell if it was Fix or Fitz! 8y
