The people in this town are awful. Reading about their machinations has gone from interesting to exhausting.

I’m listening to this one and I do not find either her husband or child charming. Blech.

Big “Sylvanian Family” vibes and I’m not mad about it.

These people are horrible!

I wanted to read this like I did the first book in the series — almost uninterrupted on a few sunny days. And that just wasn’t happening. So I’ve switched to the audiobook in the hopes of making more progress. I’m really enjoying it!

I feel like someone is reading me a physics textbook with some bad jokes thrown in.

I like this series but I can’t suspend my disbelief with this one. These people should go to jail.

This is one of the strangest books I’ve read, but so far I like it?

There’s a lot of messed up crap in this book and I’m not even that far along 🫣

This is one of the most readable books I’ve opened in a long time. How have I never read this author???

Oof. Listening for church book club and it’s a slog.

This book makes me cringe. Juniper’s new roommate is a man who tutored her when she was 17 and I can’t get over that. The age gap isn’t inappropriate in their lives now but it feels icky still.

This is one of my favorite books in the series, so when life feels too hard nothing makes me feel better than cracking this open. It’s like wearing my oldest, comfiest sweater. But for my brain.

My first DNF of the year. Sigh. Just wasn’t into it or the characters.

OMG! Possible spoiler alert but there’s some massive pet cruelty at the 70-ish percent mark that’s so bad I almost stopped reading for good. I had to skip many pages. I will continue because I want the pet-hurter dead, but I cannot take dead pets anymore.

Had to hit pause on this one because all the weird stuff in it didn’t mix well with cold medicine, leading to some disturbing dreams. But at the halfway point, it was pretty damn good.
