I read My Name Is Lucy Barton (2★). I had really high hopes for it, but I found it to be incredibly boring. I was really disappointed, though many of my GR friends loved it.

I also read Truly Madly Guilty (4★) and Small Great Things (5★). I thought they were both great.

I eventually would like to read Lily and the Octopus, but think I will need to be in the mood for a tear jerker before I start. I also kind of want to read The Nix, which is a bit chunky. I feel like there are usually more fiction nominees that I'm really interested in reading.

Anyone want to buddy up to read The Nest? Or Truly Madly Guilty?

I would like to buddy up with you and read Truly Madly Guilty, although I have not done this before, so not sure if I know how? :)
That book is by the same author as Big, Little, Lies? Right? I liked that one. I don't have a copy of the book but will get it soon, just let me know what to do next. Thanks

Hi, Eyvonne. It is the same author. I enjoyed Truly Madly Guilty, though Big, Little, Lies is still my favorite by her.

Dawn, did you see Eyvonne's reply? I don't know if you've read it already, but I figured I'd bump this in case you missed it.
