Deb Omnivorous Reader | 1929 comments I just finished an interesting book The First Time Lauren Pailing Died by Alyson Rudd a debut novel by Alyson Rudd

'Interesting' because while it is a very well written novel, with heaps of very high reviews, if I had to describe it in one word, that word would be 'Aimless'.

Of course, I do not have to describe it in one word; I used heaps.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10009 comments Such a Fun Age by American author, Kiley Reid is touted as the "must read" of 2020. Often, these books don't live up to the hype, but I believe this one does. I absolutely loved it!
Thanks to Bloomsbury Australia, also NetGalley and Penguin Group Putnam.
