Big Little Lies in Around the World in 80 Books

Dec 28, 2016 Colleen Chi-Girl rated it liked it

Maybe at age 50+, I just don't enjoy chick lit books?? Maybe I never did. There were some funny moments and some interesting characters, and I loved the setting. But it felt more long than a story with depth. I didn't really care about any of the characters. ...more
