If I have to hear Millie say one more time "I have to talk to my boyfriend about my past", I may have to stop reading this. Or start a drinking game to get through the rest of this book. Every time I hear her refer to Brock as "my boyfriend" instead of just using his name like a normal person, take a drink. Every time I hear "I can take care of myself", take a drink.

So far, meh. It's probably the narrator. Does she have asthma? She's so breathy. Every sentence seems to end with a heavy inhale or exhale. I get it. Life is so hard when you're carrying around such a BIG secret. I have several times found myself yelling, get on with it! as well. This is going to be like one of those mini series where you think, it was Ok. Could have been wrapped up in half the episodes.

Just started as an audiobook

This is a 12 hour audiobook! Dang! I'm going to pretend it's a series of podcasts and break this up. Plus I have to milk it a little since I'm only allowed so many hours of listening for audiobooks on Spotify.

I am trying Tim! Though it's about a woman who is at the same stage of life as I am, she is not a very relatable character. I appreciate the parts about having a better dialogue with our family, friends, and doctors about menopause. About the frustrations of how little research and medical knowledge there is about something that will affect every woman! But her family is dumb and they should get yelled at.

Just finished Breakfast at Tiffany's and now I'm onto the other two short stories.
I think there needs to be a new adaptation of Breakfast at Tiffany's that follows this story closer. I may need to watch the movie again. Maybe it's closer than I realize. I really like Truman Capotes writing. I'm excited to read the other stories

I still have 11 hours to go, so I realize this proclamation may be premature, but I love this book. I have loved every Fredrik Backman book I have read. It's as if he loves every one of the characters in his book and he writes them in a way to make you love them too.

This is probably my favorite John Marrs book to date. I am trying to figure things out, but so far I am stumped. I cannot stop listening to this book. The narrators are great, there is constant action and twists, and the characters are really engaging.

I don't think I can do it. This book is bad. It's moving so SLOW. The main character is so whiny. Her inner dialog is painfully repetitive.The author uses too many metaphors. I think she should just get a thesaurus and use adjectives and adverbs, preferably ONE worded, to describe an action, or a feeling. Instead she writes things like, "her words slid across the room like a hockey puck on ice." Augh.

I don't know if I can do it. This book is PAINFUL! You don't have to give a metaphor for every emotion, moment,

Stinking Spotify!! I'm out of listening hours, so I will have to come back to this book. So far, it is awesome. The narrator is great, this reminds me of Steinbeck, the details and the story telling are great. Going back and forth from victims to the perpetrator's perspective keeps things moving and draws you in. Why did they do it? Did they know the family? Will they turn on each other? So. Good.

The narrator for this book is so bad. She's slow and almost robotic sounding. I would have guessed the narrator was AI generated. Very monotone. It's making it difficult to get through. I would speed it up, but I'm listening to it on Spotify and I share the account.

I have 20 minutes left and I just don't know if I can go on. It started out really really well and then...just end all ready. I feel like an old woman army crawling to a phone for help after falling and breaking her hip in the bathroom. The struggle to get through these last chapters is painful and I wish the pain would just end already. I'm tired and frustrated with these characters. Just die already.

I have 20 minutes left and I feel like, I just don't want to know. It was going really really well. And now I just want it to end and be over with, because I made it this far, but somehow it's still crawling along. Like a wounded old woman, army crawling her way to a telephone to call for help after falling in the bathroom and breaking her hip. Why does it feel like so much work to get through this?! Augh.

These whiny sisters are really getting on my nerves.

I could be wrong about the direction this is going, but the lead character Lindsey is annoying. You've never done an interview with anyone before, but you're willing to give this "journalist" a shot because he is handsome and seems really interested in your sister's case? You didn't even Google this guy? Sure, just put your guard down because there was a "connection". I'm sure this will go well

On chapter 93. My chest is heavy from the ache in my heart. A constant lump in my throat. This book. I cannot wait to finish it, and I never want it to end.

I love this book. I love Phoebe. I hope it stays this wonderful. It's made me laugh out loud, tear up, feel heavy in my chest.

I HATE Jason. Why is this book so popular? Is what women want is an emotionally abusive, selfish, immature man? As long as he has a six pack and plays a guitar then who cares that he doesn't respect her boundaries, puts her in uncomfortable positions over and over again. Sell her house?! You've only known this man for three weeks! Distance yourself from your friends and family and be with only me is predator behavior

It's starting to wear on me a little.
Jason; "Sloan's breathing is so sexy."
Sloan; "Oh. My. God. It's a good thing we've mentioned I'm usually very cautious, then it's not strange at all that I let a man force his way into my life after only 3 weeks of knowing each other. Did I mention how much I love his body in the last 10 second?"
So happy really really good looking people could find love. That never happens.

I think this book is about to go off the rails. So far it has been the steady up of a roller coaster, anticipation building, I am now looking down over the crest and I can't wait to ride this as it goes down, around, twists and turns.

Not far in but I can tell this is going to be fun. I'm a bit ashamed to admit I have never seen the movie (movies?) based on this book. But right now I'm happy to be going into this with no idea what's going to happen.

I...just...can't. I don't think I can handle this book. Between the dated tech talk, feeling like I have heard the same ten lines from the ever grieving Doctor Beck over and over again, how things are happening and yet it feels like this book isn't moving along, I'm not a fan. I feel like I'm going through mud. Working way too hard to barely move forward.

What is going on?! This is bonkers! I can't put it down!

Oh my goodness! I can't put this down. I am literally trying to read this at my desk discretely so no one will see. I have a folder tent over it

So far, this book is great. Laugh out loud moments.
