19 thoughts on “March Book Club Discussion + April Book Choice”
I agree with everything you wrote about March’s book… one unrealistic thing after another. Instead of paying blackmail money, it would have been more believable to go in together and help her get the best defense attorney.
I am really excited to read April’s book! So glad you and Emma are doing this each month, thank you!
Hi Alice – Yesss!! Bring the women together to help her in the court of law. Now that would have been a great read. Too unrealistic for us! I’m so excited that you’re excited to read April’s book.. Sounds so good:) xx
So disappointed with this book. When I reached the part that started the crime I was debating on whether I would finish the book. I did but got headaches from shaking my head and rolling my eyes. Dumb and irresponsible women. And story.
Hi Marilyn – it started out sounding good right? Definitely not a winner, but it kept us on our toes. Thank you for stopping by and letting us know how you feel.. and that we’re not alone! xx
i agree with everything you said also! i just found it so unrealistic that no one told their husbands?! right!!! the guilt would have gotten to me and i couldn’t keep that secret away from my husband because he would have helped me/us get out of the mess. Can’t wait for the next book!
Right Tammy?! I mean I know everyone keeps secrets but it just seems so realistic to NEVER tell anyone ever again.. seems traumatizing.. time to head to a therapist am I right? I’m so glad you joined the book club and thank you for stopping by.. cannot wait til we talk about the Flight Attendant! :o
It was a little wild but I still enjoyed it! I think my least favorite thing about the book was that it changed the point of view through the friends. I did enjoy the author enough though when I finished the book to get another book by her and read it too!
Thank you again for the book club, it reignited my love for reading!
Hi HW – It was so wild. What a great way to put it ;) And I love that you read another book from the author! I think she is great.. how was her other book? Would love to try that one as well…. thanks for stopping by! xx
I completely agree! Every twist and turn was so unrealistic, but I still couldn’t put the book down! I’m so glad that you guys are doing this book club! I’m forcing myself to put my phone down and read.
Hi Stephanie,
Aww I’m so glad you’re enjoying reading & the book club.. we’re loving it too :) We couldn’t put it down either, we were so stressed! Lol. xx
I actually listened to this book on Audible and it probably helped to hear all the different voices of the girlfriends. The readers did a good job of capturing the personalities. Lots of unbelievable decision making by the ladies and I guessed midway through that Heather wasn’t the innocent victim they thought she was. But, it was a fun listen, and I enjoyed it for what it is.
This probably would’ve been a really great book to listen to.. that’s a great point. I didn’t even think about that! Wow. But it was a fun read, I’ll give ya that. Thank you for stopping by the blog :) xx
Hi Kristy & Emma! No problem about the lateness, time just slips away!
I completely agree with your thoughts on this book. It was really far fetched and not believable at all. I also found it very hard to believe that the 3 other girlfriends would pretty much drop everything to help cover up the death of heathers husband. As much as I love my friends I really don’t think that’s something I could do! Yet they went into it without much second thought! I also found the friendship between the 4 ladies quite unrealistic and at times it seemed as though they didn’t even like each other! There certainly wasn’t much trust there which I don’t think would be the case in a friendship group like the author was trying to feature. All in all I was pretty glad when it ended and I rolled my eyes at the end!! I was also expecting a BLL-type story; it started well but just didn’t satisfy me at all. Roll on this months book!
Hi Kristy and Emma! I totally agree with you. The book was so unrealistic…how could all of them sneak out in the middle of the night and not have their families notice? As silly as the book was… I kept on reading and was compelled to finish it for some reason. I’m really looking forward to the next book and want to thank you both for the recommendations.
I have to say I agree with all of the comments above. These are professional women in their early child rearing years. A busy time. You want to have a laugh with your girlfriends not help them kill their husband. I can’t help but wonder if Heathers status as a former model married to a wealthy plastic surgeon was an attraction for them. By the time they realized she was having a good time while they were sweating it out, it was too late!
Also I don’t know if it was how it was written or me but I had a hard time following who I was following in each chapter.
I am definitely looking forward to the flight attendant
