Kind of forcing my way through this. Not much excitement and it seems to drag but I hear the ending is phenomenal.

It is true that this novel is very "white lotus" - and it's been pretty entertaining throughout. But at this point it's getting a bit outlandish and the ending will determine the worth of this story.

Not my fave TJR read but also not my normal genre and for some reason it is captivating me and bringing out all emotions. I’d say it’s a simple, well written story. Well done!

Loving this so far.

Quite the page-turner. Say hi to your August beach read. :)

Hello Beautiful perfectly portrays the messiness of life with an unbiased eye. Though appreciative for the purpose, the characters are still somewhat underdeveloped/1 dimensional in an effort to hold a strong character.

Took a while to sink into this one… still not in love with it but getting better.

How is this book still delivering juicy tidbits every couple of pages ?!?! So good!

This is the one that’s really had to put down. Well done!

Loving this!

And poof! She just became relatable and the book got much better. A little late to get good but maybe worth sticking with it.

Not the greatest writing but it could be her authentic voice. The story is still somewhat engaging though simple.

Not the greatest writing but maybe it sounds like her.. the story is still engaging.

Really forcing my way through this one… should have ended a while ago. :/

I can’t see this getting better at this point. Disappointing so far.

Really dragging my feet through this one. If I’m being completely honest, I’m not that entertained, can I call this boredom?

Really dragging myself through …

Not so fascinated….

A little slow until you hit that 50% mark… 0-60 in 3.5 seconds!

Not sure how I feel yet….

Love love love so far.. plenty of characters, creepy secluded house, murder, family secrets… very Agatha Christie.

A little more than mediocre but nothing mind blowing…

The main character is driving me crazy - she has 0 backbone. If I solved the crime already, this book will get 2 stars… only a twist can save this. Ware is really disappointing me.

Really not enjoying this in the least so far… having a really hard time staying engaged. :/

Cannot rave enough- St James is def my new fave!!
