Girl! No wonder your farm is in the red… are you f*cking dumb? 😂😭

I don’t know a single male/female friend pair who touches each other this much and isn’t f**king 😂 I don’t really see how this is possible, even as a fantasy.

This makes me want to write a mystery where the central character isn’t unhinged 😅 Like girl, please, I beg you to have a modicum of self awareness 🙏🏼

Boy, that “letssss killllll” voice is so gd annoying

I expected Lucy to be antagonistic, given her position as suspected murderer, but for someone who’s not a drunk or a nihilist, she’s oddly rude to everyone? I’d almost allow that it’s just the voice acting style, but it’s def not.

I don’t know what I was expecting? 😅 it is breathtakingly patriotic, maybe that will change as things progress? (Doubtful)

Whoops! Apparently I am accidentally re-reading this one 😅. This time as an audiobook though, so…. Maybe it will still be 3 stars? I don’t remember the plot AT ALL, which I think is fair given that I read it over 9 years ago.

I don’t know why this is surprising but I am simply thrilled by Agatha Christie stories! My god! 🥲

Slow going. It’s worthwhile reading but definitely more of a prose book than expected

More military and battle info than I was expecting

Wait….. what??? Isabella (terrible MC name) makes the most nonsensical choices throughout this book, my word…

Am I too harsh? I feel like the writing is very subpar. And what the hell is up with the over the top gay character?? Was shocked to remember that a middle aged man wrote this book and not a 16 year old girl.

A little confused about the meet-cute… why was the police officer there today of all days?

Wait… no! I was 100% on board this entire time but now… ugh! No spoilers. But damn, why do so many authors set up elaborate plot premises only to, in one single page, completely disregard them. I don’t get it!!

I’m hardly a prude, but also I did NOT need to read that much about poop and toilet time 😩

I am sooooo sick of Lenu 🫠😅😭 stop being dumb!

It’s so hard to put this down!

Just as I was deeply absorbed in the story, there's an abrupt shift! Slow start, but it's getting hard to put down.

Doing this as an audiobook this time!

Ok, not to compare this to Hurricane Girl.... buuuut, it's a similar concept and protagonist but written much better and more interestingly.

I'm so sick of the "Allison -" sentences... why does almost every single sentence either START with the word "Allison" or contain the word "Allison"?

tooo long. for a horror story the pace is glacial.

Now it’s like Gossip Girl. Which makes me wonder if it’s imitating that series, or GG was written by someone who was in high school in Manhattan in the 80’s.

Weiner really, REALLY wants us to feel badly for Nina. Disparaged and abused from every corner. Poor little inept rich girl.

Occasionally a little retroactive wishful thinking from Garten… “I always felt that a store…” did you though? One page ago you reminded us that you have no retail experience and never thought about owning a store until recently. lol

Ok i relate to Ina's tendency to just dive into projects with no preparation and they either partially or completely fail or turn out perfect through sheer force of will. Do not relate to her spontaneous purchasing of houses lol.

I envy people who approach cooking as a science... I approach it as an art project; good luck getting the same result twice! lol

Just wondering how Sylvie got stuck with all these assholes?

Definitely feels like we're cribbing Suzie Myerson with this "Dolly" character.

As interesting as most of the books in this collection are, this last one, "Alphabets for Gourmets" is dragginggggg
