Let’s see how this goes! Reviews among my friends are so mixed!

Re-reading for my 50 States Challenge!

I’m loving it so far but having characters named Dally and Darry is really gonna TEST ME

I’ve had this library book on a shelf in our living room for a couple weeks now, and my kids saw the title and said “MOM! What are you READING???”

Just now getting to this because for all this time I thought it was the same book as the 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle which I have already read.

I’m 50 pages in and they have used “ejaculated” as a synonym for “uttered” or “blurted out” THREE TIMES already. I’m trying my best to press on.

Great so far. Very good pacing.

Not disliking this at all so far, but she did say “She let out the breath she didn’t know she was holding” TWICE in back to back (short) chapters so…😆

State #3 in my 50 state challenge—Arkansas!

#2 in my 50 states challenge—Alaska!

Enjoying this overall but it’s a little jarring to read potty mouth phrases that include the same name as my sweet little 4 year old 😆

Delighted and surprised by how much I like this so far. I often feel confused by this type of book but not only am I following along easily with the world building, I’m intrigued to learn what will happen next!

“It’s good to be sorry—but don’t make a fetish of it. The one good thing about being Protestant is that we are not expected to cringe forever in contrition.”

“The thing about rakishness, Angela, is that it should never seem intentional.” 🤣🤣🤣

If you see me taking longer than my usual 6 days to read this, mind your business! I am doing it with a group and we must maintain the pace of one chapter per week!

Adding this as a place holder for a book I am not willing to publicly log but still want to count as my total 🤣

This one is wild y’all 😳 definitely a page turner

So far this is the embodiment of that “Hello? Human Resources??” Meme 😆 but I kind of like it

Oh, I am loving this already

Not really hooked yet and feeling a bit guilty about it.

The police escort thinking the mother was in labor 🤣😭🤣😭

I can’t decide how I feel about this. Definitely extremely character/prose driven, not plot driven at all. But very beautiful prose in some parts!

This is now my third book I’m reading from this author and I have decided that I don’t mind them or dislike them but I also don’t particularly love them.

I think this might be my first time reading Harlan Coben? Enjoying it so far!

I’m definitely hooked.

This narrator 😳😳😳

Excellent so far. Really enjoying the setting and narrator.

My expectations are high due to how many of you love this one!

What in the Mr Travilla

Wanted to read this a little closer to Christmas but didn’t quite time my library holds right. Here’s to preemptive festivity!
