I’m trying to like this book. The premise and historical facts are intriguing, but the wiring is so flat. I keep thinking that I am just reading an into and it will “come alive” soon. But it isn’t.
May not finish it even though it is for my book club. Would definitely not finish it otherwise.

I usually do not like short story collections and would not have checked "Chestnut Street" out at the library if I had realized.
But, I am loving it very much! I do miss that feeling of opening a book while already involved in the story, but Binchy is a genius at presenting so many wonderful vingettes that make me immediately feel like I know the characters. How does she do this? And how does she do so many stories?

DNF, too depressing.

On page 89 and hoping it cheers up a bit.

I can’t finish this book. The story is fascinating, but I am finding it a chore to keep track of all the switchbacks in time. Forty years forward, three months back, then eight weeks forward and around and around it goes. It feels like too much math for my brain. I am giving up.

Loving this book!

I was going to force myself to finish this book for my book club,but I give up. It hurts my brain to continue. Adding to my DNF file.

I dislike this book so so much! Reading for book club and going to force myself to finish, though I would normally never finish a book I hate.
This guy, yuck, do not like the main character though I feel sure that the author thinks he is an awesome manly man. He is awful and macho creepy.

Feeling heartbroken

Loving it!

I am loving this book so far!

I love this book so much! After loving Once Upon a Wardrobe and now this gem, I am a true Patti Callahan Henry fan!

Adding to my DNF stack. This is the second book of this author that I have tried to read and I just don’t care for his writing style at all. Sorry Bookclub, not gonna do it.

I just started this book on Christmas Day after the chaos subsided for a bit and though I can only on page 23 I can tell that I am going to love this book!

I really like it so far.

Did not finish

Loving it so much!

I totally love it. I might even dare say, it is changing something in me for the better!

Loving this book so much!

Amazing

I am loving this book so much!
