It feels weird reading a Christmas book in April…

Well I finally figured out why it’s called “The Good Girl”

Okay, I’m calling it now: I think Ava is going to end up with Matt’s roommate, Nihal bc it’s clear she and Matt are not compatible and I’m seeing subtle hints of signs pointing to her and Nihal

Also, this book is making me laugh so 👍

I haven’t read a Sophie Kinsella book in probably over a decade and after her passing in December, it checked out some of her books I hadn’t read yet. As much as I like her Shopaholic series, I always enjoyed her stand alone novels too.

The protagonist often writes authors about books she’s read of theirs or shares what she’s reading with her friend. (I wonder if she had Goodreads, heh.) she wrote to Diana Gabaldon and told her she read “Outlander” in two days. There’s no way! It took me a month (probably more) to read that!

I’m really enjoying this book. I’m not done with it, but I’m already recommending it.

I do find it interesting that the protagonist writes “post script” instead of just writing P.S. like most people do. It seems very formal which I guess fits her character.

So this whole book is a bunch of letters and e-mails (hence the title). I think the last time I read a book that was like this was “Bridget Jone’s Diary” (but those were all diary entries, duh) and that was a looooooooooong time ago.

One of the main characters put her mother in a retirement home called Shady Oaks. Tell me you watch “The Golden Girls” without telling me you watch “The Golden Girls”.

I’ve never heard of the saying “Promises are like pie crusts, made to be broken” (maybe it’s a regional thing?), but I like it.

A couple are about to go on a road trip halfway across the country. The husband says he’ll drive the first shift and the wife is all, “okay, but I’m picking the music.” The hell? I always thought the music was the drivers choice! Since they’re driving!

Mom just started this book today for her book club. (I’m at my parents’ for Christmas.) I think this is the first time we’ve read the same book at the same time.
