June 2018: A Piece of Cake
date
newest »




Although I did enjoy the book (I listened to the audio, which the author narrates) I thought it was really dragged out and she gave way too many unnecessary details where they weren’t needed.

Although ..."
The book I listened to was not narrarted by the author but by Bahni Turpin. I enjoyed parts of the book. But I agree with you that it drug on and on in places. I don't think it added to the story to hear her tell how many times she got drunk, drugged, broke the law, was stupid and mean. I would have enjoyed it a lot more if she has spent more time telling how she got herself out of the messes she had put herself in. She was given so many chances that many kids like her never have offered to them. I don't really find her to be someone people should look up to.


You hit the nail on the head: we have literally lived every single day of her life.




I so agree with this! Though I haven't lived that life to any certain degree. I didn't need quite so much detail on every day and every moment of her life

This month it's time for a contemporary classic, Cupcake Brown's A Piece of Cake. This is a darker read, but I've been told by many trusted readers the title is so worth it.
I can't wait to dive in with you! If you have any discussion points you'd like included in the chat, please fire away. I always read this string while prepping for our monthly meeting!
Lots of reading love,
Lisamarie
P.S. There's lots and lots of reading stickers in our July collection! Off to get it live!
